Confined space precautions
D A N G E R
Explosion hazard. Training in pre-entry testing, ventilation, entry procedures, evacuation/rescue
procedures and safety work practices is necessary before entering confined spaces.
The information that follows is supplied to help users understand the dangers and risks that are
associated with entry into confined spaces.
On April 15, 1993, OSHA's final ruling on CFR 1910.146, Permit Required Confined Spaces, became
law. This standard directly affects more than 250,000 industrial sites in the United States and was
created to protect the health and safety of workers in confined spaces.
English 5
Definition of a confined space:
A confined space is any location or enclosure that has (or has the immediate potential for) one or
more of the following conditions:
• An atmosphere with an oxygen concentration that is less than 19.5% or more than 23.5% and/or a
hydrogen sulfide (H2S) concentration that is more than 10 ppm.
• An atmosphere that can be flammable or explosive due to gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers.
• Toxic materials which upon contact or inhalation can cause injury, impairment of health or death.
Confined spaces are not designed for human occupancy. Confined spaces have a restricted entry
and contain known or potential hazards. Examples of confined spaces include manholes, stacks,
pipes, vats, switch vaults and other similar locations.
Standard safety procedures must always be obeyed before entry into confined spaces and/or
locations where hazardous gases, vapors, mists, dusts or fibers can be present. Before entry into a
confined space, find and read all procedures that are related to confined space entry.
Certification
Canadian Radio Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation, IECS-003, Class A:
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer.
This Class A digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing
Equipment Regulations: CAN ICES-3(A)/NMB-3(A).
Cet appareil numérique de classe A répond à toutes les exigences de la réglementation canadienne
sur les équipements provoquant des interférences.
FCC Part 15, Class "A" Limits
Supporting test records reside with the manufacturer. The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions:
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this equipment not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equipment has been tested
and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a
residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to
correct the interference at their expense. The following techniques can be used to reduce
interference problems:
1. Disconnect the equipment from its power source to verify that it is or is not the source of the
interference.
2. If the equipment is connected to the same outlet as the device experiencing interference, connect
the equipment to a different outlet.
3. Move the equipment away from the device receiving the interference.
4. Reposition the receiving antenna for the device receiving the interference.
5. Try combinations of the above.
Wireless modem certification
The device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada license-exempt RSS
standard(s). Operation is subject to the following conditions:
6 English
1. The equipment may not cause harmful interference.
2. The equipment must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Changes or modifications to this wireless communication equipment not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. Any
change to the equipment will void the Industry Canada certification and FCC grant. Changes and
modifications include any modifications to the wireless modems and associated antennas, including
antenna cables. Follow the manufacturer recommendations for product installation, configuration and
wireless operation.
Cellular devices
N O T I C E
Network and access point security is the responsibility of the customer that uses the wireless instrument. The
manufacturer will not be liable for any indirect, special, incidental or consequential damages caused by a breach
in network security.
WARNING
Pacemaker precautions. If electromagnetic interference (EMI) occurs, it can either:
• Stop the stimulating pulses from the pacemaker that control the rhythm of the heart.
• Cause the pacemaker to supply the pulses irregularly.
• Cause the pacemaker to ignore the rhythm of the heart and supply pulses at a set interval.
Current research shows that cellular devices are not a significant health problem for most pacemaker
wearers. However, persons with pacemakers should use precautions to make sure that their device
does not cause a problem. Keep the device a minimum of 20 cm (7.9 in.) from the user.
CAUTION
Electromagnetic radiation hazard. Make sure that the antenna is kept at a minimum distance of 20 cm
(7.9 in.) from all personnel in normal use. The antenna cannot be co-located or operated in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitters.
CAUTION
Electromagnetic radiation hazard. In portable applications, do not use the modem within 20 cm (7.9 in.)
of the user.

Product overview
The FL900 series flow loggers are used in open-channel flow monitoring studies such as inflow &
infiltration (I&I), combined sewer overflow (CSO), capacity and planning and storm water runoff
monitoring.
Data is collected from attached sensors and logged for future retrieval. The sensors can be added or
changed in the field. Depending on the model, up to four sensors can be connected. The data can be
retrieved directly through a USB or RS232 cable or remotely through a wireless network with
FSDATA Desktop and FSDATA server software. The FL900 Series loggers can also connect to an
external power source, rain gauge or be used to pace a Sigma or Hach sampler.
The wireless option and the number of available connectors varies with the model of the logger.
Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2.

Apply power to the Logger
Install the batteries
WARNING
Explosion hazard. Incorrect battery installation can cause the release of explosive gases. Be sure that
the batteries are of the same approved chemical type and are inserted in the correct orientation. Do not
mix new and used batteries.
WARNING
Fire hazard. Battery substitution is not permitted. Use only alkaline batteries.
N O T I C E
Do not over-tighten the cover. Tighten until the cover just touches the O-ring, then tighten one-quarter to one-half
turn maximum from O-ring contact. Keep the O-ring lubricated with silicone grease.
The instrument can use two or four 6 V batteries for power. Use two batteries for short-term use or
four batteries for long-term use (for battery life, refer to Specifications on page 3). When only two
batteries are used, put both batteries on the same side of the compartment (A-A or B-B). Refer to the
illustrated steps that follow.
Changes in temperature and pressure can cause the battery compartment cover to be difficult to
remove by hand. If this occurs, a tool can be used to remove the cover (Figure 3).
