Read and understand this user manual completely before operating the
Tiger instrument.
Do not use abrasive or chemical detergents to clean the Tiger instrument
as this may reduce the antistatic properties of the materials used, clean it
using a damp cloth only.
The Tiger must not be exposed to atmospheres known to have an
adverse effect on Thermoplastic polyolefin or Anti-static PC/ABS
Do not remove the sensor cover in the hazardous area.
No part of the Tiger may be opened in a hazardous area except for
replacement of the battery pack. The Tiger must be serviced in a Non
Hazardous environment and by Ion Science authorised service centres
only.
Do not service the instrument live; Remove battery pack before servicing
Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
Charge Tiger and its lithium ion battery packs in a Non Hazardous
environment only.
Never replace primary Alkaline battery cells while in a potentially
explosive or hazardous location. Use only Duracell Procell
batteries MN1500.
The Tiger's lithium ion and alkaline battery packs have been specially
designed to allow connection to the Tiger Instrument while in potentially
hazardous atmospheres. Ensure all electrical connections are clean and
undamaged before connection. The Tiger instruments ingress protection
rating is reduced to IP20 when its battery pack is removed so avoid
changing batteries in dusty or wet environments.
Use supplied battery packs only on the Tiger.
Never replace primary alkaline battery cells while in a potentially
explosive or hazardous location. Use only Duracell Procell® alkaline
batteries MN1500.
The Tiger must be functionally checked prior to entering a hazardous
area after every occasion when a connection has been made to the USB
port. The instrument must complete its start-up routine and display legible
readings. If the LCD display fails to show an intelligible and uncorrupted
display the instrument must not enter a hazardous area.
The USB port can only be used in a Non Hazardous environment.
If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer,
the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
Intrinsically safe
The USB port can only be used in a non-hazardous environment.
