as heart pacemakers or hearing aids.
lThe device must not be subjected to strong vibrations or impacts.
lThe GSM/GPRS modem can cause interferences if it is in the vicinity of television sets, radios
or computers.
lDo not open the GSM/GPRS modem. Any modification to the equipment is prohibited and will
result in the operating licence being revoked.
lThe use of GSM services (SMS messages/data communication/GPRS, etc.) may lead to
additional costs. The user alone is responsible for any resulting damages and costs.
lDo not install the device in any other way to the one described in the operating instructions.

5.7 Intended use
The portable measurement instrument is used to record H2S concentrations. The device is battery-
operated. The measured and recorded data is stored on a non-volatile memory medium. This stored
data is sent to a central server for further processing via the mobile network. The device is equipped
with an integrated SIM card. The maximum permissible limit values set out in chapter "Technical
data" on page 11 must be observed. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any operational cases
that deviate from these limit values and have not been approved by the manufacturer in writing.
Note: This device is exclusively intended to be used for the purposes as described above.
Any other use or use beyond what is specified or a modification of the device shall be
deemed to be not for the intended purpose and is not permitted without the express written
consent of the manufacturer. The manufacturer shall not be held liable for any damages that
may result from such unauthorised use or modification. The operator alone bears the
associated risk.
Note: The manufacturer is not liable for data loss of any kind if the device is damaged and
data is not able to be stored correctly.
16 Rev. 03

Chapter 5 General specifications
Note: The integrated SIM chip provides a mobile communications connection to a variety of
international service providers. In order to be able to utilise all functions of the device, you
must ensure that the device is located in the service area of one of these service providers.
You can find a list of all supported countries and associated service providers under
www.microtronics.at/footprint. A Managed Service contract with Microtronics Engineering
GmbH is required for use of the mobile data transmission (see
www.microtronics.at/managedservice). This includes the provisioning of the mobile
communications connection via the network of the service provider included in the above-
mentioned list.
5.8 General product information
The device is a compact, portable device for recording and transmitting H2S concentrations. The
device is equipped with an integrated sensor for this purpose. In addition to the H2S concentration,
the internal measurement values "Battery", "GSM level" and "Int. temp" are determined (see
"Internal channels" on page 44). All of the generated measurement data is temporarily saved on an
internal data memory and is then wirelessly transmitted to a central location at freely selected
intervals. The device is also configured via this connection. The device is equipped with an
integrated SIM chip.
5.9 Device labelling
The specifications in this user manual apply exclusively to the myDatasensH2S 1000 device type.
The type plate is located on the rear side of the device and includes the following specifications:
lType designation
lSerial number
lCE marking
lProtection class
lEnvironmental conditions during operation
lEx protection label as specified in chapter "Declaration of conformity" on page 7
lHardware revision
It is important that the correct type designation and serial number is specified for all queries and
spare part orders. Only then can we process requests promptly and properly.

Note: These operating instructions are part of the device and must be available to the user at
all times. The safety instructions included therein must be observed.
DANGER:
It is strictly prohibited to disable the safety equipment or modify its mode of operation.
5.10 Installation of spare and wear parts
Please be advised that spare and accessory parts that have not been supplied by the manufacturer
have also not been inspected or approved by the manufacturer. The installation and/or use of such
products can possibly have a negative impact on the specified constructional properties of the
device. The manufacturer shall not be liable for any damages that arise from the use of non-original
parts and non-original accessory parts.
Note: The use of spare and wear parts that are not approved by the manufacturer shall void
the Ex approval.
5.11 Storage of the product
To store the myDatasensH2S 1000 , activate the transport lock, by deactivating the "Measurement"
and "Transmission" in the input screen of the myDataweb server to configure the device (see
"Device-specific settings" on page 48). Then activate the ALOHA transmission mode (see "ALOHA
transmission mode" on page 21) via the solenoid contact so that the amended configuration is
transmitted to the myDatasensH2S 1000 . During this process, all of the data that has not yet been
transferred to the myDataweb server is transmitted. The antenna can be removed as soon as the
GPRS connection has been deactivated - indicated by the status LED going out (see "Status LED" on
page 40). Store the myDatasensH2S 1000 in its original packaging. During storage the accu or
battery pack should not be disconnected from the device and the protective armour should also not
be removed.
By activating the transport lock, the myDatasensH2S 1000 is in a very energy-saving mode. However,
it may still occur that the accu or battery pack is fully discharged if the device is stored for very long
periods. Although the configuration and the most recent determined data are definitely maintained.
The transport lock is deactivated again by re-initiating the ALOHA transmission mode (see "ALOHA
transmission mode" on page 21) and the myDatasensH2S 1000 resumes operation according to the
configuration.
