The instrument should be used in accordance with the safety standards and
installation instructions given in this manual, and in compliance with local safety
standards.
Responsibility for use: TIGER XTS instruments detect a large range of gases
which are potentially dangerous from both a poisoning and/or an explosive
perspective. TIGER XTS instruments have many adjustable and selectable
features allowing the instrument to be used in a variety of ways.
ION Science Ltd can accept no responsibility for the incorrect adjustment of
features that cause harm or damage to persons or property. TIGER XTS can be
used as a personal safety device. It is the user’s responsibility to respond
appropriately to an alarm situation.
The TIGER XTS must not be exposed to atmospheres known to have an adverse
effect on Thermoplastic polyolefin or Anti-static PC/ABS.
The instrument must be serviced in a Non-Hazardous environment and by ION
Science Ltd authorised service centres only. Substitution of components may
impair intrinsic safety.
Do not service the instrument live; Remove the Battery Pack before servicing.
Ingress Protection: Continuous exposure to wet weather conditions should be
limited to less than one day and harsh water spray conditions should be
avoided.
Battery Connection: Ensure all electrical connections are clean and undamaged
before connection. The TIGER XTS instrument’s ingress protection rating is
reduced to IP20 when its Battery Pack is removed so avoid changing batteries in
dusty or wet environments.
When using the Probe part numbers A-861414, A-861413 the Safety rating of the
TIGER XTS Instrument drops from II 1 G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga to II 1 G Ex ia IIB T4 Ga. The
temperature performance of the unit is unaffected.
