that more frequent response checks are carried out. The chemical compounds
that can cause loss of sensitivity include Silicones, Lead, Halogens and Sulphur.
Do not use instrument in potentially hazardous atmospheres containing greater
than 21% Oxygen. Do not use in areas where explosive concentrations of
Hydrogen may be present. The enclosure material is polypropylene and must not
be exposed to environments which are liable to result in mechanical or thermal
degradation or to damage caused by contact with aggressive substances.
Additional protection may be required in environments where the instrument
enclosure is liable to damage.
