Precautions for Safe Handling:
The Blast Gauge® System has been designed and manufactured for use by qualified personnel for measuring exposures to blast
overpressure.
Safety considerations are contained in the Blast Gauge System Safety Data Sheet dated February 10, 2016 included in the package
Storage:
Shelf life is greater than 5 years in cool (15 ºC - 25ºC), dry and ventilated areas, which are subject to little temperature change. Do not
place the article near heating equipment, nor expose to direct sunlight for long periods. Elevated temperatures can result in
shortened battery life and degrade performance.
Disposal:
This Product contains a lithium battery that is not rechargeable or replaceable. Normally the article has no odor. Under normal
conditions of use, the battery, its electrode materials and its hazardous liquid electrolyte are non-reactive provided the battery
integrity is maintained. The battery will release a pungent corrosive odor if leaking.
There are no federal regulations for disposal of lithium batteries. Individual states or localities establish their own guidelines for
battery disposal, and should be contacted for any disposal guidelines that they may have for a lithium battery housed in the Blast
Gauge.
