Application Description The kit enables gas monitoring with a deployed MSHA-approved refuge chamber, and equipment service during periods of storage.

Refuge Chamber Kit Chamber Supplies The kit contains three cases. All three cases are to be stored in the refuge chamber’s storage area and all three are to be used with a deployed chamber.

Two of the cases each contain a gas-monitoring instrument and supplies. One contains a without-pump instrument to monitor for gases in the “interior atmosphere”, the livable space inside the chamber. The other contains a with-pump instrument. This unit is used – in the livable space – to periodically sample for gases in the “exterior atmosphere”, the air outside the chamber.

The third case contains spare batteries.

Service Supplies The kit also contains two accessory containers. The accessory containers are not used with a deployed chamber. They are used for equipment service during periods of storage (see “Service”).

Storage

Place all kit contents into the approved cases. Close the cases and ensure they are properly sealed. Return the cases to the chamber.

Notes

Warning and Cautionary Statements

Use one with-pump instrument and one without-pump instrument together as instructed.

Both instruments must be equipped with these sensors: CO/H2-low, O2, CH4, and CO2.

Warnings and Cautionary Statements

18

Alarms must be set as follows:

Without pump

Alarm settings

Gas Low High TWA STEL

O2 18.5% 23.0% N/A N/A

CO 25 ppm

CO2 1%

CH4 1.0% N/A N/A

With pump

Alarm settings

Gas Low High TWA STEL

O2 18.5% 23.0% N/A N/A

CO 999 ppm

CO2 1%

CH4 1.0% N/A N/A

Note: Because the with-pump unit can be used to monitor the interior atmosphere for gases (should the without-pump unit become inoperable), instrument operators should be aware of the differences in alarm settings as shown above.

Service the instrument using the following gas concentrations:

Gas concentration by task

Sensor Zero Calibration Bump test

O2 Zero Air Zero Air 18%

CO Zero Air 250 ppm 250 ppm

CO2 Zero Air 2.5% 2.5%

CH4 Zero Air 2.5% 2.5%

After the instrument leaves the factory, the MSHA approval is negated when any change is made to any of these settings, components, or requirements:

Use only these AA alkaline batteries: Duracell MN1500. The following apply to the alkaline battery replacement task:

Replace all three batteries at the same time. The replacement task can be completed in a

gassy area. Do not allow dust to enter the battery

compartment.

The battery pack must be replaced in fresh air only.

Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety and may cause an unsafe condition.

Always store and transport case contents in the supplied and approved dust-tight case.

The pull tab is factory installed. Do not reinstall a pull tab that has been removed from the instrument; contact ISC.

Remove the pull tab only for instrument use with a deployed refuge chamber.

The MX6 refuge chamber instruments do not meet IP64 or IP65 ratings.

Replace the instruments after they are used with a deployed chamber.

Specifications are subject to change without notice. Refer to the ISC website for the most current information.
