Discharge of Liability
Before operating and installing please read this manual carefully. This manual is an integral part of the
DE-OX®SAFE Carbon Monoxide analyzer. The use of this instrument implicates total acceptance of the
present section.
All warranties relevant to this instrument are void if is not operated and maintained in accordance with
this manual.
TEMC®disclaims every responsibility for the improper, wrong or incorrect use of this measurement
instrument. Before use, it is necessary to receive a proper training on mixed gas diving and gas
mixtures analysis for diving applications. It is dangerous to breathe mixed gas containing Carbon
Monoxide. Sport and mixed gas diving is a potentially hazardous and dangerous activity that may lead
to death if practised incorrectly. Manipulating mixed gas with oxygen is dangerous and requires special
training and oxygen dedicated equipment. The present instrument does not replace the necessary
notional and practice training for these activities. The data displayed are a mathematical elaboration
based on physical laws but they are not representative of the complexity of human physiology and of
the different psycho-physical situation of use by customers.
Carbon monoxide is a colourless and odourless toxic gas, that could be yielded from engine exhalation
or from bad maintained compressor filters. If breathed it bonds with blood haemoglobin affecting the
oxygen transport to the body tissues. Carbon Monoxide poisoning is extremely dangerous and could be
only treated with immediate medical cares and could even lead to death.
TEMC®is not liable for any damage or injury including death which may result from DE-OX® SAFE
utilisation.
The operator of this instrument is responsible for any damage or injury resulting from improper use,
unauthorized repair, improper maintenance, or damage by anyone other than TEMC®. Use always
another instrument for data cross checking.
TEMC®, whose policy is one of continuous quality improvement, reserves the right to modify the
technical characteristics of the instrument and manual without prior notice.
