Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
According to the product documentation, regular calibration is essential for correct operation. SAMON generally recommends a 6-month calibration interval, though this may vary based on environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and exposure to corrosive gases.
SAMON transmitters, such as the X5, feature a non-intrusive calibration method using a supplied magnetic wand. This allows one-man calibration to be performed within ATEX zoned areas without opening the enclosure.
SAMON detectors are designed to monitor a wide range of gases including refrigerants, flammable gases (like Methane, Propane, Hydrogen), and toxic gases such as Ammonia (NH3), utilizing various sensor technologies like pellistors and IR sensors.
Yes, many SAMON products, including the Glaciär X5, are approved to European and UK ATEX standards as well as international IECEx standards for use in explosive atmospheres (Zone 1, 2, 21, or 22).
