Residual risks
Danger
Even low concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO) are life-
threatening!
Carbon monoxide is toxic by inhalation! Make yourself familiar with
the signs of CO poisoning and learn to recognize them.
Immediately remove persons who have inhaled carbon monoxide to
fresh air. Immediately seek medical help!
Warning of electrical voltage
There is a risk of a short-circuit due to liquids penetrating the
housing!
Do not immerse the device and the accessories in water. Make
sure that no water or other liquids can enter the housing.
Warning of electrical voltage
Work on the electrical components must only be carried out by an
authorised specialist company!
Warning of explosive substances
There is a danger of explosion due to sparking.
Switch on the measuring device in an atmosphere that is free from
combustible gas. The device calibrates itself automatically after
switch-on. If combustible gases are already present in the
environment, any further measuring results can be distorted and
combustible gases may remain undetected.
Warning
High concentrations of combustible gases cause a risk of explosion,
fire and suffocation.
Make yourself familiar with the safety data sheet regarding the
characteristics of the gas to be detected and take the necessary
precautions.
