1 WARNINGS

Read Before Operating

This manual must be carefully read by all individuals who have or will

have the responsibility of using, maintaining, or servicing this product.

The product will perform as designed only if it is used, maintained, and

serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Warning:

Use only the Lithium battery provided by RAE Systems. This instrument

has not been tested in an explosive gas/air atmosphere having an oxygen

concentration greater than 21%. Substitution of components may impair

suitability for intrinsic safety. Replace batteries only in non-hazardous

locations.

STATIC HAZARD: Clean only with a damp cloth.

For safety reasons this equipment must be operated and serviced by

qualified personnel only. Read and understand instruction manual

completely before operating or servicing. Any rapid up-scale reading

followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas

concentration beyond upper scale limit, which may be hazardous.

3 General Information

The MBeacon is a component within the ConneXt PRO wireless gas-

monitoring system that regularly transmits its SSID, which is used by the

system to provide location information on wireless gas monitors.

The ConneXt PRO system is a permanently installed solution that allows

for remote monitoring, two-way communication (on select equipment),

and quick visual compliance verification.

The ConneXtPRO consists of wireless gas monitors (and their associated

docking stations), beacon devices, and a real-time software monitoring

application. By providing remote, real-time gas concentration status and

location information to key stakeholders, ConneXt PRO supports a safer,

more efficient plant.
