The Titan Combustible Gas Detector is for use by trained andqualified personnel. It is designed to be used when performing ahazard assessment to:

• Assess potential worker exposure to combustible gases and vapors• Determine the appropriate combustible gas and vapor

monitoring needed for a workplace.

The Titan Combustible Gas Detector is equipped to detectCombustible gases and certain combustible vapors.

» H2C?:?8

• Read and follow all instructions carefully.• Bump check before each use.• Calibrate when bump check fails.• Check calibration more frequently if exposed to silicone,

silicates, lead-containing compounds, hydrogen sulfide, or highcontaminant levels.

• Recheck calibration if unit is subjected to physical shock.• Check sample system (if used) for proper operation before each days use.• Use only to detect gases/vapors for which sensor is installed.• Do not use to detect combustible dusts or mists.• Make sure adequate oxygen is present.• Do not block sensors.• Do not place end of sampling line (if used) in liquids.• Response times vary, based on gas/vapor and length of

sampling line (if used).• Have a trained, qualified person interpret instrument readings.• Do not replace alkaline cells in a hazardous area.• Do not recharge NiMH battery packs in a hazardous area.• Do not alter or modify instrument.

INCORRECT USE CAN CAUSE SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURYOR DEATH.

DRWVej =Z^ZeReZ`_d R_U AcVTRfeZ`_dCarefully review the following safety limitations and precautionsbefore placing this instrument in service:

• The Titan Combustible Gas Detector is designed to detectcombustible gases and vapors in air only.

• Perform the following checks before each day’s use to verifyproper instrument operation:

• Bump check (see Chapter 3, "Using the TitanCombustible Gas Detector"). Calibrate if the readingsare not within the specified limits.

• Check sampling system (if used) for proper operation.To check for leaks in the flow system, close inlet of theinstrument with one finger of the left hand; then,depress the aspirable bulb. Immediately seal theaspirator bulb outlet with one finger of the right hand. Aslong as both fingers are held in place, the bulb shouldremain deflated. If the bulb fills, there is a leak in theflow system which includes: the filament, aspirator bulb,or inlet and outlet fitting gaskets. To check the aspiratorexhaust valve for leakage, close inlet of the instrumentwith one finger of the left hand; then depress theaspirator bulb. The bulb should not completely inflate inless than six seconds.

• Check calibration more frequently if the unit is subjected tophysical shock or high levels of contaminants. Also, checkcalibration more frequently if the tested atmosphere containsthe following materials, which may desensitize the combustiblegas sensor and reduce its readings:

• Organic silicones

• Silicates

• Lead-containing compounds

• Hydrogen sulfide exposures over 200 ppm orexposures over 50 ppm for one minute.

• The minimum concentration of a combustible gas in air that canignite is defined as the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL). Acombustible gas reading of "100" indicates the atmosphere isabove 100% LEL and an explosion hazard exists. In suchcases, the instrument LockAlarm feature activates. Move awayfrom contaminated area immediately.

• Do not use the Titan Combustible Gas Detector to test forcombustible gases in the following atmospheres as this mayresult in erroneous readings:

• Oxygen-deficient or oxygen-rich atmospheres

• Reducing atmospheres

• Furnace stacks

• Inert environments

• Atmospheres containing combustible airborne mistsor dusts.

• Do not use the Titan Combustible Gas Detector to test forcombustible gases in atmospheres containing vapors fromliquids with a high flash point [above 100oF (38oC)] as this mayresult in erroneously low readings.

• Do not block sensor openings as this may cause inaccuratereadings. Do not press on the face of the sensors, as this maydamage them and cause erroneous readings. Do not usecompressed air to clean the sensor holes, as the pressure maydamage the sensors.

• Allow sufficient time for unit to display accurate reading.Response times vary based on the type of sensor being used(see Chapter 7, "Performance Specifications"). Additionally,when using a sampling pump, allow a minimum of 0.7 secondsper foot of sample line to allow the sample to be drawn throughto the sensors.

• Keep the probe tip (if used) above liquid surfaces; otherwise,liquid may enter the system and block the sample flow, causinginaccurate readings and/or internal damage.

• All instrument readings and information must be interpreted bysomeone trained and qualified in interpreting instrumentreadings in relation to the specific environment, industrialpractice and exposure limitations.

• Replace alkaline cells or recharge NiMH battery-pack innon-hazardous area only. Use only battery chargers listed inthis manual; other chargers may damage the battery pack andthe unit. Dispose of batteries in accordance with local healthand safety regulations.

• Do not alter this instrument or make any repairs beyond thosespecified in this manual. Only MSA-authorized personnel mayrepair this unit; otherwise, damage may result.

When Battery Shutdown condition sounds, stop using theinstrument; it can no longer alert you of potential hazardssince it does not have enough power to operate properly.You must:

1. Leave the area immediately.2. Turn OFF the instrument if it is ON.3. Report to the person responsible for maintenance.4. Replace or recharge the battery pack.Failure to follow this procedure could result in seriouspersonal injury or death.

For Alkaline Battery packs, replace batteries when the"Battery Low" or "Battery Shutdown" alarms occur. Whenreplacing alkaline batteries, replace ALL batteries with freshones at the same time. Do not mix new and partially-discharged batteries. If the batteries are improperly replacedor improperly mixed, the "Battery Low" and "BatteryShutdown" alarms may fail to function, which could resultin serious personal injury or death.

Do not use rechargeable batteries in Alkaline Battery Packs.The Alkaline battery warning and alarm set points are notoptimized for rechargeable batteries. The low battery warningand alarm could occur too quickly to be noticed. Usingrechargeable batteries in the Alkaline battery pack couldresult in serious personal injury or death.
