MSA INSTRUMENT SAFETY

ALTAIR 5 - Operating Manual 7

1. Instrument Safety

1.1. Correct Use

The ALTAIR 5 and ALTAIR 5 IR Multigas Detectors are for use by trained and

qualified personnel. They are designed to be used when performing a hazard

assessment to:

•Assess potential worker exposure to combustible and toxic gases and

vapours as well as low level of oxygen.

•Determine the appropriate gas and vapour monitoring needed for

a workplace.

The ALTAIR 5 and ALTAIR 5 IR Multigas Detectors can be equipped to detect:

•Combustible gases and certain combustible vapours

•Oxygen-deficient or oxygen-rich atmospheres

•Specific toxic gases for which a sensor is installed.

The ALTAIR 5 and ALTAIR 5 IR Multigas Detectors are designed to:

•Detect gases and vapours in air only

•Detect only specified toxic gases for which a sensor is installed (available

sensors see Chapter 6).

While the instrument can detect up to 25 % oxygen in ambient air, it is

approved for use only up to 21 % oxygen.

•Read and follow all instructions carefully.

•Perform a blocked flow test before each day's use if equipped with an integral

pump.

•Check calibration before each day's use and adjust if necessary.

•Check calibration more frequently if exposed to silicone, silicates, lead-

containing compounds, hydrogen sulphide, or high contaminant levels.

•Recheck calibration if unit is subjected to physical shock.

•Use only to detect gases/vapours for which a sensor is installed.

•Do not use to detect combustible dusts or mists.

•Make sure adequate oxygen is present.

•Do not block sensors.

•Never block the pump inlet except to perform a sampling safety test.

•Have a trained and qualified person interpret instrument readings.

•Do not remove battery pack from instrument while in a hazardous location.

•Do not recharge Li Ion battery in a combustible location.

•Do not replace alkaline batteries in a combustible location.

•Do not alter or modify instrument.

•Use only MSA-approved sampling lines.

INSTRUMENT SAFETY MSA

8 ALTAIR 5 - Operating Manual

•Do not use silicone tubing or sampling lines.

•Wait sufficient time for the reading; response times vary, based on gas and

length of sampling line.

•Do not use the instrument with integral pump for prolonged periods in an

atmosphere containing a concentration of fuel or solvent vapours that may be

greater than 10%LEL.

It is imperative that this operating manual be read and observed when using the

product. In particular, the safety instructions, as well as the information for the use

and operation of the product, must be carefully read and observed. Furthermore,

the national regulations applicable in the user's country must be taken into

account for a safe use.

Danger!

This product is supporting life and health. Inappropriate use,

maintenance or servicing may affect the function of the device and

thereby seriously compromise the user's life.

Before use the product operability must be verified. The product must

not be used if the function test is unsuccessful, it is damaged, a

competent servicing/maintenance has not been made, genuine MSA

spare parts have not been used.

Alternative use, or use outside this specification will be considered as non-

compliance. This also applies especially to unauthorised alterations to the product

and to commissioning work that has not been carried out by MSA or authorised

persons.

1.2. Liability Information

MSA accepts no liability in cases where the product has been used

inappropriately or not as intended. The selection and use of the product are the

exclusive responsibility of the individual operator.

Product liability claims, warranties also as guarantees made by MSA with respect

to the product are voided, if it is not used, serviced or maintained in accordance

with the instructions in this manual.

1.3. Safety and Precautionary Measures to be Adopted

Perform a blocked flow test (see chapter 4.2) before each day's use if equipped

with an integral pump.

MSA recommends to check the instrument's functionality (see chapter 3.6) and

carry out a routine inspection each day before use.

Perform calibration check (see chapter 3.8) before each day's use to verify proper

instrument operation. Adjust calibration if the readings are not within the specified

limits.

MSA INSTRUMENT SAFETY

ALTAIR 5 - Operating Manual 9

Check calibration more frequently if the unit is subjected to physical shock or high

levels of contaminants. Also, check calibration more frequently if the tested

atmosphere contains the following materials, which may desensitise the

combustible gas sensor and reduce its readings:

•Organic silicones

•Silicates

•Lead-containing compounds

•Hydrogen sulphide exposures over 200 ppm or exposures over 50 ppm

for one minute.

•The minimum concentration of a combustible gas in air that can ignite is

defined as the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL).

A combustible gas reading of "100” or "5.00” indicates the atmosphere is

above 100 % LEL or 5.00 %vol CH4, and an explosion hazard exists.

Move away from hazardous area immediately.

•Do not use the ALTAIR 5 Multigas Detector to test for combustible or toxic

gases in the following atmospheres as this may result in erroneous readings:

•Oxygen-deficient or oxygen-rich atmospheres

•Reducing atmospheres

•Furnace stacks

•Inert environments

•Atmospheres containing combustible airborne mists/dusts.

Measurement in the above atmospheres (except oxygen-rich

atmospheres) can be done with the infrared sensor in the ALTAIR 5 IR.

•Do not use the ALTAIR 5 and ALTAIR 5 IR Multigas Detectors to test for

combustible gases in atmospheres containing vapours from liquids with a high

flash point (above 38 °C, 100°F) as this may result in erroneously 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 utilised (see chapter 5.5, "Performance

Specifications"). Additionally, when using a sample pump, allow a minimum of

1 second per foot (3 seconds per metre) of sample line to allow the sample to

be drawn through the sensors.

•Sampling lines made from 1.57 mm (0.062 inch) inner diameter tubing provide

fast transport times to the instrument; however, they must be limited to 15 m

(50 feet) in length.

INSTRUMENT SAFETY MSA

10 ALTAIR 5 - Operating Manual

•MSA does not recommend the use of sampling lines in monitoring for reactive

toxic gases (Cl2, ClO2, NH3).

•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.

Risk of explosion: Do not recharge instrument in hazardous area.

Do not replace batteries in hazardous area.

Observe proper battery maintenance

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 in

accordance with local health and safety regulations.

Be aware of environmental conditions

A number of environmental factors may affect the oxygen sensor readings,

including changes in pressure, humidity and temperature.

Pressure and humidity changes affect the amount of oxygen actually present in

the atmosphere.

Be aware of the procedures for handling electrostatically sensitive

electronics

The instrument contains electrostatically sensitive components. Do not open or

repair the unit without using appropriate electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection.

The warranty does not cover damage caused by electrostatic discharges.

Be aware of the product regulations

Follow all relevant national regulations applicable in the country of use.

Be aware of the warranty regulations

The warranties made by Mine Safety Appliances Company with respect to the

product are voided if the product is not used and maintained in accordance with

the instructions in this manual. Please protect yourself and others by following

them. We encourage our customers to write or call regarding this equipment prior

to use or for any additional information relative to use or service.
