Essential Health & Safety Requirements
General
• Read and understand this user guide before operating.
• The instrument must be regularly serviced and calibrated by fully trained personnel in a safe
area.
• Only GMI replacement parts should be used.
• Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
• If the instrument detects gas, follow your own organisation’s procedures and operational
guidelines.
• This equipment is designed and manufactured to protect against other hazards as dened
in paragraph 1.2.7 of Annex II of the ATEX Directive 2014/34/EU.
Battery / Charging
• Alkaline and rechargeable batteries must be exchanged in a safe area and tted correctly
before use.
• Never use damaged batteries or expose to extreme heat.
• Rechargeable batteries must be recharged in a safe area, using the GS700 Charging Cradle.
• Only use approved alkaline batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries.
Areas Of Use
• Do not use instrument in potentially hazardous atmospheres containing greater than 21%
Oxygen.
• Exposure to certain chemicals can result in a loss of sensor sensitivity. Where such
environments are known or suspected it is recommended that more frequent response
checks are carried out. Chemical compounds that can cause loss of sensitivity includes
Silicones, Lead, Halogens and Sulphur.
Storage, Handling And Transit
• Batteries should be removed if the instrument is stored for longer than 3 months.
• The instrument can contain electrochemical sensors. Under conditions of prolonged storage
these sensors should be removed. The sensor contains potentially corrosive liquid and
care should be taken when handling or disposing of the sensor, particularly when a leak is
suspected.
• The instrument is designed to handle harsh environments and is IP55 rated. If not subject
to misuse or malicious damage, the instrument will provide many years of reliable service.
Special Conditions Of Use
• Only use permitted external probes specied by certicate number.
• The equipment must not be subject to prolonged exposure to light when not in use.
Any right of claim relating to product liability or consequential damage to any third party against
GMI is removed if the warnings are not observed.

Additional Safety Details - CSA Only
CAUTION: Before each days Usage, test on a known concentration of methane, equivalent to
25 - 50% of full scale concentration. Accuracy must be within 0 to +20% of actual. Accuracy
may be corrected by calibration. (Refer to Chapter: ‘CALIBRATION’).
ATTENTION: Avant chaque utilisation journalière, testez la réaction de l’appareil en utilisant
une concentration connue en méthane, correspondant à 25-50% de la lecture à fond d’échelle.
La précision doit se situer entre 0 et +20% de la valeur réelle. La précision peut se corriger en
étalonnant l’appareil (voir Chapitre: CALIBRATION).
CAUTION: Any rapid up-scale readings followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a
gas concentration beyond the upper scale limit, which may be hazardous.
ATTENTION: Toute lecture dépassant rapidement le maximum de l’échelle et suivie par une
diminution ou une lecture erronée, indique une concentration de gaz supérieure à la valeur
maximale de cette échelle. Cette lecture n’est pas signicative.
CAUTION: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
ATTENTION: le remplacement d’un composant peut porter atteinte à la sécurité intrinsèque du
produit.
CAUTION: Do not charge in a hazardous area. Um = 6.78V.
ATTENTION: Ne pas charger en zone dangereuse. Um = 6.78V.
NOTE: CSA have only assessed the LEL combustible gas detection portion of this instrument
for performance.
NOTE: CSA a seulement évalué la partie LIE pour la mesure des performances en détection de
gaz inammables.
CAUTION: Electromagnetic interference (EMI) signals may cause the instrument operation to
become erroneous.
NOTE: The instrument contains internal checking of sensor sensitivity, which during calibration
will prevent the sensor being calibrated if it has been contaminated or reached its end of life. In
addition to this the Instrument Management System (IMS) can be used to track the condition of
sensors from stored calibration results.
