Warning - Appropriate positioning of the detector/ sensor is imperative to the operation of the detector. Good positioning will give rapid alarm response to a gas leak or low oxygen level. Improper positioning can delay or prevent warning of a hazardous condition.
FX-1 Gas Detectors may not be heard or seen. The loudness of the alarm in the FX-1 Gas Detector meets (or exceeds) current standards. However, if the FX-1 Gas Detector is placed in a closed room, it may not be heard or seen by personnel, especially if the door does not have a window to see the visual alarm. Even normal noise such as traffic, motors running, radios, and air conditioners may prevent personnel from hearing the audible alarm. FX-1 Gas Detectors may not be heard or seen by persons who are hard of hearing or visually impaired. It is recommended that the remote warning device be installed to alert personnel before entering a room. Several detectors are recommended both outside the building or in any room that contain personnel, where toxic gas or low oxygen can develop.
