Operating Precautions 

 
This detector is an oxygen deficiency detector that detects oxygen in the air and triggers an oxygen 
deficiency alarm. 
The oxygen deficiency detector is a safety unit, not an analyzer or densitometer which performs 
quantitative/qualitative analysis/measurement for oxygen. 
Please fully understand the following points before using it, so that it can be used properly. 
 
1.  The readings of the detector fluctuate slightly in response to changes in the air pressure. 
 

In particular, be careful of alarm activation when a low air pressure is brought in by typhoon. In 
addition, it may be fluctuated by environmental (temperature, humidity etc.) changes in the 
installation site. 

 
2.  The alarm must be set within a range where the performance of the detector can be ensured. 
 

The standard alarm setpoint value is 18 vol%. 

 
3.  This is a safety unit, not a control unit. 
 

The alarm contact output of the detector must be used for an external alarm lamp/buzzer, while the 
analog signal output must be used for an indicator or external recorder. 

 
4.  For maintenance of the detector, it must go through a regular maintenance, including replacement 

and adjustment of the regular replacement parts as specified in the operating manual. In addition, 
because this is a safety unit, it is recommended that a regular maintenance and span adjustment are 
performed every six months.
