• Do not use the Solaris Multigas Detector to test for combustible
gases in atmospheres containing vapors from liquids with a high
flash point (above 38
low readings.
• Do not block sensor openings as this may cause inaccurate
readings. Do not press on the face of the sensors, as this may
damage them and cause erroneous readings. Do not use
compressed air to clean the sensor holes, as the pressure may
damage the sensors.
• Allow sufficient time for unit to display accurate reading. Response
times vary based on the type of sensor being utilized (see Chapter
6, "Performance Specifications").
• All instrument readings and information must be interpreted by
someone trained and qualified in interpreting instrument readings
in relation to the specific environment, industrial practice and
exposure limitations.
• Do not recharge lithium ion battery or replace alkaline batteries in a
hazardous area. Use only battery chargers made available by MSA
for use with this instrument; other chargers may damage the
battery pack and the unit. Dispose of batteries in accordance with
local health and safety regulations.
• Do not alter this instrument; otherwise, damage may result.

• Use of the Galaxy
approved method for calibrating MSHA-approved Solaris
instruments.
• Use only calibration gas that is 2.5% Methane with an accuracy of
+5% when calibrating MSHA-approved Solaris instruments.
• The maximum acceptable user-settable (password protected)
Galaxy Automated Test System tolerance on Bump Limits must
only be set to 10% or less when calibrating MSHA-approved
Solaris instruments.
• For 30 CFR Part 75 determinations, the maximum acceptable user-
settable (password protected) Galaxy Automated Test System
tolerance on Bump Limits must only be set to such that 19.5%
oxygen can be detected with an accuracy of +0.5% when
calibrating MSHA-approved Solaris instruments.
