Macurco RD-xx User Manual

1 General Safety Information

The following instructions are intended to serve as a general guideline for the use of the Macurco RD-6 and RD-12 refrigerant
detector. This manual will refer to these devices as RD-xx unless content is specific to the 6-series or 12-series model. This
manual is not to be considered all-inclusive, nor is it intended to replace the policy and procedures for each facility. If you have
any doubts about the applicability of the equipment to your situation, consult an industrial hygienist or call Technical Support at

1.1 List of warnings

Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in this user
manual before use. Use of this equipment by untrained or unqualified persons or use that is
not in accordance with this user manual, may adversely affect product performance.
Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and monitor is designed to detect. Failure to
do so may result in exposures to gases not detectable and cause serious injury or death. For
proper use, see supervisor or user manual, or contact Technical Support at 1-844-325-3050.
This equipment may not function effectively below 0°F or above 125°F (-18°C or above 52°C).
Using the detector outside of this temperature range may adversely affect product
performance.
This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of a certain specified
airborne gas. Misuse may produce an inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the
gas being monitored may be present and could result in overexposure and cause serious injury
or death. For proper use, see supervisor or User manual, or contact Technical Support at 1-844-
325-3050.
High voltage terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within this detector, presenting a hazard to
service technicians. Only qualified technicians should open the detector case and service the
internal circuits. Ensure power is de-energized from the detector relays prior to servicing the
unit. Failure to do so may result in electrical shock.
Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this instrument. This
instrument contains no user serviceable parts, and substitution of components may impair
product performance.
Using a certified gas with a concentration other than the one listed for this detector when
conducting a calibration and calibration verification test (bump test) will produce inaccurate
readings. This means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could
result in overexposure. For proper use, see supervisor or User manual, or contact Technical
Support at 1-844-325-3050.
The following steps must be performed when conducting a calibration or calibration verification
test (bump test) to ensure proper performance of the monitor. Failure to do so may adversely
affect product performance.
• When performing a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test), only use
certified calibration gas at the required concentration level.
• Do not test with expired calibration gas.
Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover.
•
• Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and are free of debris
Failure to follow instructions outlined in this user manual can result in sickness or death.
