1. TIGER is a portable gas detector that uses Photo ionization technology to detect a large range of Volatile Organic Compounds VOC s which can be dangerous from both a poisoning and explosive perspective The TIGER uses a Photo lonization Detector PID to measure gas concentrations The patented fence electrode technology minimises the effects of moisture and contamination avoiding the need for compensation Survey is the default mode of operation This mode is often used in applications such as Head Space Sampling and Leak Detection where several areas or Zones are to be monitored and readings data logged All sensor readings are real time measurements and alarm levels are set manually Like its predecessor the TIGER also has an intuitive graphical interface allowing easy access to instrument settings Two soft keys A and B can be configured to suit the user s application so many functions can be selected without entering the main menu structure This improves efficiency of use particularly with repeatable tasks TIGER PC PC Software maintains the intuitive look and feel by adopting the same graphical symbols TIGER PC also helps manage logged data files and multiple instrument settings in a clear and concise way The TIGER uses a Lithium ion battery pack that not only boasts an impressive running time and short charge time but also allows the battery pack to be replaced in potentially hazardous environments Field replaceable2. Ensure that the Sensor Seal on the inside of the Sensor Cover is not disturbed Carefully lift the MiniPID Sensor from the Instrument Body ensuring that the two Inlet Outlet Seals remain in place in the Instrument Body Using the special Removal Tool MiniPID Stack 846216 provided locate its prongs in the slots in the side of the Mini PID Sensor body Using the forefinger to restrain the sensor the internal parts are spring loaded and careless disassembly will leave you hunting for the spring squeeze the tool to release the lamp housing The lamp may now be removed To replace the lamp or install a new one reverse the procedure ensuring the seals are all in place When replacing the Sensor Cover ensure that the markers are aligned correctly and that the cover is a snug fit The instrument MUST be re calibrated after fitting a replacement or cleaned lamp CAUTION Never refit a damaged lamp Unrivalled Detection Page 35 of 41 www lonscience com TIGER MANUAL lon Science Ltd Maintenance Lamp Cleaning The TIGER PID relies on an ultraviolet light source ionising VOC gases as they pass across the lamp window This process may result in a very fine layer of contamination appearing on the detector window that must be removed on a regular basis CAUTION The TIGER is a sensitive detector Internal components must be handled with clean hands and clean tools The TIGER lamp is fragile Handle with grea
