pleted. The counter for the remaining days until the next service is reset by the manufacturer or serv-
ice partner during the maintenance work.

13.2.1.1 Safety instructions for handling H2S gas
DANGER:
Extreme caution is required when handling calibration gases!
Hydrogen sulphide is a neurotoxic substance that can cause poisoning and even death
depending on the concentration.
It has the following effects on humans:
l
~ 0.1ppm: Odour threshold
l
from 20ppm: Corneal damage following prolonged exposure
l
approx. 100ppm: Irritation of the mucous membranes in the eyes and respiratory system, sal-
ivation, irritation of the throat
l
> 200ppm: Headache, breathing difficulties
l
> 250ppm: Impairment of the olfactory receptors
l
> 300ppm: Nausea
l
approx. 500ppm: Weakness, drowsiness, dizziness (life threatening within a few minutes)
l
> 500 ppm: Seizures, unconsciousness (fatal within a few seconds)
Long-term effects following exposure to low doses include tiredness, loss of appetite, headaches,
irritability, poor memory and a lack of concentration.
The greatest caution must therefore be exercised depending on the calibration gas used.
The maximum admissible concentration (MAC value) at the workplace for H2S is 10ppm.

Note: The most precise results are achieved in a specially equipped calibration room.
