▸Read and observe these Operating Instructions.
▸Observe all safety information.
Correct use
▸Only use the measuring device as described in “Intended use”. The manufacturer
assumes no responsibility for any other use.
▸Maintenance work should be performed as prescribed in this Manual.
▸Do not perform any work or repairs on the measuring device not described in this
Manual.
▸Do not remove, add or modify any components to or on the device unless described and
specified in the official manufacturer information.
▸Use only original spare parts and wear and tear parts from SICK.
Failure to observe these precautions could result in:
●Voiding the manufacturer's warranty.
●Causing the device to become dangerous.
Special local conditions
In addition to the information in these Operating Instructions, follow all local laws, technical
rules and company-internal operating and installation directives applicable wherever the
device is installed.
Retention of documents
These Operating Instructions:
▸Must be available for reference.
▸Must be conveyed to new owners.
Ensure the operational safety during all work on the device
The VISIC100SF is mainly used in combination with regulation and control technology.
▸During all work on the device, ensure that this can not lead to hazards or hindrances for
traffic.
2.1.1 Electrical safety
Hazard through electrical shock
There is a risk of electric shock when working on the measuring device with the voltage
supply switched on.
●Before starting work on the measuring device, ensure the power supply can be switched
off using a power isolating switch or circuit breaker in accordance with the valid
standard.
●Switch off the power supply before carrying out any work on the measuring device.
●After completion of the work or for test purposes or adjustment, the power supply may
only be activated again by authorized personnel complying with the safety regulations.

2FOR YOUR SAFETY
2.1.2 Dangerous substances
Hazard through acidic liquids
If the gas sensor is mechanically damaged, corrosive liquid may escape and cause serious
injury.
●Take appropriate protective measures for work (e.g., by wearing a safety mask,
protective gloves and acid resistant clothes).
●In case of contact with the skin or eyes, rinse the affected parts immediately with clear
water and consult a doctor.
Hazard through escaping calibration gases
Incorrect handling of calibration gases can cause high concentrations above the workplace
exposure limits to escape from the gas sensor into the ambient air and lead to poisoning.
●Observe the Safety Datasheets of the calibration gases.
●Ensure adequate ventilation.
●Limit gassing time.
2.2 Intended use
The Gas Adjustment Kit serves to check and adjust the gas sensors in the VISIC100SF.
2.3 Requirements for personnel qualification
The device may only be operated by authorized persons who, based on their training on,
and knowledge of the specific device, as well as knowledge of the relevant regulations can
assess the tasks given and recognize the hazards involved.

System Parameters
●System information: Serial number
●Power-on time
Power-on time
Gas sensors require a warm-up time until the measurement process reaches a stable
state. During this warm-up time, the sensor signal can lead to the unwanted triggering of a
pseudo alarm. Therefore, the power-on time is started after switching on the voltage or
voltage recovery. During this time, the sensor outputs “Warm-up time” instead of the
measured value.
The factory-set power-on time is 5 min. and can only be read out.
Note: Changed parameters must be read back to check for correctness!
