GasAlert Extreme Introduction Safety Information - Read First This quick reference guide provides basic information to operate the GasAlert Extreme gas detector. For complete operating instructions, refer to the GasAlert Extreme User Manual provided on the CD-ROM. The GasAlert Extreme gas detector (“the detector”) is designed to warn of hazardous gas levels above user defined alarm setpoints.
GasAlert Extreme Quick Reference Guide • • • • • 2 Deactivating the detector resets the time-weighted average (TWA), short-term exposure limit (STEL), and maximum gas exposure values to 0. If the detector is damaged or parts are missing, contact BW Technologies by Honeywell immediately. Do not use the detector if it is damaged. Before using the detector, inspect the case. Look for cracks and missing parts.

GasAlert Extreme Quick Reference Guide Calibration Procedure Screen Procedure 1. In a safe area free of hazardous gas and in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen, press E and C simultaneously and hold for 5 seconds. The detector beeps and vibrates four times. After CAL. displays on the LCD, the detector then beeps once more. 5. When the LCD flashes , attach the calibration cap and apply gas at a flow rate of 500 to 1000 ml/min. The detector beeps three times at the end of the span stage.

GasAlert Extreme Maintenance Maintenance To keep the detector in good operating condition, perform the following basic maintenance as required: • Calibrate, test, and inspect the detector at regular intervals. • Keep an operations log of all maintenance, calibrations, and alarm events. • Clean the exterior with a soft damp cloth. Do not use solvents, soaps, or polishes. • Do not immerse the detector in liquids.
GasAlert Extreme Quick Reference Guide 4. Insert the new battery. 5. Re-assemble the detector. When assembling the detector be aware of the following: • • • Clean the seal on the front and rear shells with a soft damp clean cloth. Do not use solvents, soaps, or polishes. Refer to Internal Seals of the GasAlert Extreme. Ensure the front and rear shells are properly aligned to ensure a proper environmental seal.
GasAlert Extreme Maintenance 4. Remove the PCB. Place the PCB on a clean, nonconductive surface. 5. Remove the screen. 6. Using a soft, clean brush, wash the screen with clean, warm water. 7. Insert the sensor screen with the shiny side facing the sensor grill. Internal Seals of the GasAlert Extreme Note Ensure the screen is dry before reinserting into the detector. 8. Re-assemble the detector.
