Safety Info - Read First
Use the detector only as specified in the manual and quick reference guide, otherwise the protection provided by
the detector may be impaired.
The detector is a personal safety device. It is your responsibility to respond properly to the alarm. Read the
following Cautions before using the detector.
aCAUTION
• Caution: For safety reasons, this equipment must be operated and serviced by qualified personnel only. Read and understand the user
manual completely before operating or servicing.
• Charge the detector before first-time use. Honeywell Analytics recommends the detector be charged after every workday.
• Charge the battery pack immediately when a low battery alarm occurs.
• Read and adhere to the battery cautions.
• Honeywell Analytics recommends that the combustible sensor be checked with a known concentration of calibration gas after any
exposure to contaminants/poisons such as sulfur compounds, silicon vapors, halogenated compounds, etc.
• Honeywell Analytics recommends to bump test the sensors before each day’s use to confirm their ability to respond to gas by exposing
the detector to a gas concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Manually verify that the audible and visual alarms are activated.
Calibrate if the readings are not within the specified limits.
• For an additional bump test caution relating to the European Regulations, refer to user manual.
• Calibratethedetectorbeforefirst-timeuseandthenonaregularschedule,dependingonuseandsensorexposuretopoisonsandcontaminants.
The sensors must be calibrated regularly and at least once every 180 days (6 months).
• Calibrate only in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
• Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed for performance by CSA International.
• The combustible sensor is factory calibrated to 50% LEL methane. If monitoring a different combustible gas in the % LEL range,
calibrate the sensor using the appropriate gas.
• Caution: High off-scale LEL readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
• Protect the combustible sensor from exposure to lead compounds, silicones, and chlorinated hydrocarbons. Although certain organic
vapors(such asleaded gasoline and halogenated hydrocarbons)may temporarily inhibit sensor performance, inmost cases, the sensor
will recover after calibration.
• Foruseonlyin potentially explosive atmospheres whereoxygen concentrations do notexceed20.9%(v/v). Oxygen deficientatmospheres
(<10% v/v) may suppress some sensor outputs.
• Any rapid up scaling reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond the upper scale limit,
which can be hazardous.
• Extended exposure of the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, or GasAlertMicro 5 IR to certain concentrations of combustible gases
and air may stress the detector element that can seriously affect its performance. If an alarm occurs due to a high concentration of
combustible gases, recalibration should be performed or, if needed, the sensor replaced.
• TheBWpump module (M5-PUMP)iscertified forusewiththe GasAlertMicro5,GasAlertMicro5PID,andGasAlertMicro5 IRmodelsonly.
• Protect the PID sensor from exposure to silicone vapors.
• When calibrating Oand ClOsensors that are located in the Toxic 2 position of the detector, a single gas calibration cap must be used
to ensure accurate calibration.erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond the upper scale limit, which can be hazardous.
• Extended exposure of the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, or GasAlertMicro 5 IR to certain concentrations of combustible gases

• Replace the sensors only in a safe and non-hazardous area that is free of hazardous gas in an atmosphere of 20.9% oxygen.
• Dispose of used lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in fire. Do not mix with the solid waste stream.
Spent batteries must be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
• Keep lithium cells away from children.
• Beforeusingcommon products around sensors,referto Sensor PoisonsandContaminants onthe GasAlertMicro5/PID/IRUserManual.
• High concentrations of certain toxic gases, for example HS, may have an adverse effect on the LEL sensor. This effect, known as
inhibition, is usually temporary but in extreme circumstances can impair the sensitivity of the LEL sensor.
• After any gasexposurethat causes analarmin the toxicgassensors, theLEL sensor shouldbe verified witha bumptest, andrecalibrated
if necessary.

Bump Test
A bump test is the process of applying a small amount of test gas to
force the detector into alarm. A bump test should be performed regularly
to confirm the sensors are responding correctly to gas, and that the
audible, visual, and vibrator alarms activate during an alarm condition.
Calibrate if the readings are not within specified limits.
aCAUTION
Honeywell recommends to bump test the sensors before each day’s use
to confirm their ability to respond to gas by exposing the sensors to a gas
concentration that exceeds the alarm setpoints. Should the user wish to
comply with European Regulations, a bump test must be completed before
each day’s use. Refer to EN 60079-29-2.
Follow this procedure when Bump Daily is enabled:
1.Connect the calibration hose to the 0.5l/min regulator on the gas cylinder.
Note: If performing a bump test on a pump unit, connect the calibration hose directly to the
pump module.
2.Connectthe calibration hose tothe intake inlet onthe calibration cap.Arrowson the calibration
cap indicate the direction of gas flow.
3.Attach the calibration cap and tighten the knob.
4.Apply gas. Verify the visual, audible, and vibrator alarms activate.
5.Close the regulator and remove the calibration cap from the detector. The detector will temporarily remain in alarm until the gas clears
from the sensors.
6.Disconnect the calibration hose from the cap and regulator.
aIMPORTANT: Only use the calibration cap for calibrations and bump tests.

Replacing Battery Cells and Packs
To avoid personal injury and/or property damage, adhere to the following battery cautions:
aec WARNING
• This instrument contains alkaline batteries. Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries must be disposed of by a qualified
recycler or hazardous materials handler.
• This instrument contains a lithium polymer battery. Dispose of lithium cells immediately. Do not disassemble and do not dispose of in
fire. Do not mix with the solid waste stream. Spent batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler.
• Replace the alkaline cells or rechargeable battery pack immediately when the detector emits a low battery alarm.
• Use only batteries that are recommended by Honeywell.
• Use only approved alkaline batteries that are properly installed in the battery pack. Refer to Specifications.
• To order lithium battery packs (M5-BAT08/M5-BAT07), contact Honeywell.
• Charge the batteries and battery packs using only a recommended Honeywell charger. Failure to adhere to this caution can lead to fire
and/or explosion.
• The detector must be deactivated to charge the battery pack.
• Do not calibrate the detector immediately after charging is complete.
• Boththe lithium batterypack and thealkaline battery packare user-changeable inhazardous locations, butthe alkaline battery cells inside
the pack can only be replaced in a safe area that is free of hazardous gas.
• The M5-BAT08 and M5-BAT07 battery packs are equipped with lithium batteries that can present a risk of fire or chemical burn hazard
if misused. Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 212°F (100°C), or incinerate.
• Do not use any other lithium batteries with the GasAlertMicro 5, GasAlertMicro 5 PID, and GasAlertMicro 5 IR detectors. Use of any other
cell can cause fire and/or explosion.
• Lithium polymer cells exposed to heat at 266°F (130°C) for 10 minutes can cause fire and/or explosion.
• Keep lithium cells away from children.
