Malfunction of pacemakers or defibrillators
WARNING: Magnets can have a negative impact preventing
pacemakers and implanted defibrillators from working
properly.
► Do not move calibration and pump adapters anywhere
near pacemakers or implanted defibrillators (e.g. by
attaching them to the shoulder strap).
► All persons concerned (e.g. persons with pacemakers)
must be informed of the presence of strong magnets in the
calibration and pump adapters.
1.3 Use in areas subject to explosion
hazards
To reduce the risk of ignition of a flammable or potentially
explosive atmosphere, strictly observe the following warnings:

Use in areas subject to explosion hazards

Devices or components for use in explosion-hazard areas
which have been tested and approved according to national,
European or international explosion protection regulations
may only be used under the conditions specified in the
approval and with consideration of the relevant legal
regulations. The devices or components may not be modified
in any manner. The use of faulty or incomplete parts is
forbidden. The appropriate regulations must be observed at
all times when carrying out repairs on these devices or
components.
Oxygen enriched atmospheres
Explosion protection is not ensured in oxygen enriched
atmospheres (>21 Vol% O
► Remove the device from the explosion-hazard area.
Oxygen deficient atmospheres
The CatEx sensor may display false readings and incorrect
measured values when used for measurements in an oxygen
deficient atmosphere (<12 Vol% O
sensor cannot provide a reliable measurement.
► The CatEx sensor is intended to measure flammable
gases and vapours mixed with air (i.e. O
21 Vol%). If the O content falls below 12 Vol% and an
2
operational O sensor is available in the gas detector, a
2
channel error is triggered on the CatEx channel due to
oxygen deficiency.
► A CatEx sensor should preferably be operated with an
active XXS O or O PR sensor so that oxygen deficiency
2 2
can be evaluated by the gas detector.
► Remove the gas detector from the area and discontinue
measurement.
