Oxygen Measurements (% O 2 ) (FIGURE 2-3)
Figure 2-3. Instrument in Oxygen Alarm
The Solaris Multigas Detector can be equipped to detect the amount of
oxygen in the atmosphere.
•
Two conditions trigger the alarm:
•
Too little oxygen (deficient)
•
Too much oxygen (enriched).
•
When the alarm setpoint is reached for either of the above:
•
Alarm sounds
•
Alarm lights flash
•
% O 2 flag above the concentration flashes.
If the Oxygen alarm condition is reached while using the
instrument as a personal or area monitor, leave the area imme-
diately; the ambient condition has reached a preset alarm
level. If using the instrument as an inspection device, do not
enter the area without proper protection. Failure to follow this
warning will cause exposure to a hazardous environment
which can result in serious personal injury or death.
