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. The user should understand how to set the correct
parameters and interpret the obtained results.
CAUTION!
To reduce the risk of electric shock, turn the power off before
removing the instrument cover. Disconnect the battery before
removing sensor module for service. Never operate the instrument
when the cover is removed. Remove instrument cover and sensor
module only in an area known to be non-hazardous.

Special Notes
When the instrument is taken out of the transport case and
turned on for the first time, there may be some residual organic
or inorganic vapor trapped inside the detector chamber. The
initial PID sensor reading may indicate a few ppm. Enter an
area known to be free of any organic vapor and turn on the
instrument. After running for several minutes, the residual
vapor in the detector chamber will be cleared and the reading
should return to zero.
The battery of the instrument discharges slowly even if it is
turned off. If the instrument has not been charged for 5 to 7
days, the battery voltage will be low. Therefore, it is a good
practice to always charge the instrument before using it. It is
also recommended to fully charge the instrument for at least
10 hours before first use. Refer to this User Guide’s section on
battery charging for more information on battery charging and
replacement.

WARNINGS
STATIC HAZARD: Clean only with 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.
Use only RAE Systems battery packs, part numbers 059-3051-000,
059-3052-000, and 059-3054-000. This instrument has not been
tested in an explosive gas/air atmosphere having an oxygen
concentration greater than 21%. Substitution of components may
impair intrinsic safety. Recharge batteries only in non-hazardous
locations.
Do not mix old and new batteries or batteries from different
manufacturers.
The calibration of all newly purchased RAE Systems instruments
should be tested by exposing the sensor(s) to known concentration
calibration gas before the instrument is put into service.
For maximum safety, the accuracy of the instrument should be
checked by exposing it to a known concentration calibration gas
before each day’s use.
Do not use USB/PC communication in hazardous locations.

AVERTISSEMENT
DANGER RISQUE D'ORIGINE ELECTROSTATIQUE:
Nettoyer uniquement avec un chiffon humide.
Pour des raisons de sécurité, cet équipment doit être utilisé, entretenu
et réparé uniquement par un personnel qualifié. Étudier le manuel
d’instructions en entier avant d’utiliser, d’entretenir ou de réparer
l’équipement.
Utiliser seulement l'ensemble de batterie RAE Systems, la reference
059-3051-000 au 059-3052-000 au 059-3054-000. Cet instrument n’a
pas été essayé dans une atmosphère de gaz/air explosive ayant une
concentration d’oxygène plus élevée que 21%. La substitution de
composants peut compromettre la sécurité intrinsique. Ne charger les
batteries que dans emplacements désignés non-dangereuse.
Ne pas melanger les anciennes et les nouvelles batteries, ou bien
encore les batteries de differents fabriquants.
La calibration de toute instruments de RAE Systems doivent être testé
en exposant l’instrument a une concentration de gaz connue par une
procédure diétalonnage avant de mettre en service l’instrument pour
la première fois.
Pour une securite maximale, la sensibilité du l’instrument doit être
verifier en exposant l’instrument a une concentration de gaz connue
par une procédure diétalonnage avant chaque utilisation journalière.
Ne pas utiliser de connection USB/PC en zone dangereuse.
