Safety and Precautionary Measures
WARNING!
These instructions must be provided to users before use of the product and retained for ready reference by the user. Read this manual carefully before using or maintaining the device. The device will perform as designed only if it is used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Otherwise, it could fail to perform as designed, and persons who rely on this device could sustain serious injury or death.
The warranties made by MSA with respect to the product are voided if the product is not installed and used in accordance with the instructions in this manual. Please protect yourself and your employees by following the instructions.
Please read and observe the WARNINGS and CAUTIONS inside. For additional information relative to use or repair, call 1‑800‑MSA‑2222 during regular working hours.
WARNING!
The User must be trained and thoroughly familiar with proper operation and limitations of the device. Use in controlled live-burn exercises is suggested before using the device in actual emergency situations.
Do NOT rely on the device as the sole means of navigation, search and rescue, or alarm of a Target in distress. Do NOT deviate from standard firefighting navigational, search and rescue, or operating procedures and best practices during use. Radio-frequency based search and rescue technology is not a replacement for these procedures. Although the system provides an image in dark and smoky environments, the User may become disoriented or lost in such environments if the system becomes inoperative.
If a local alarm network or LTE network interruption occurs, or communication of devices or Cloud connectivity is slowed or prevented, standard firefighting navigational, search and rescue, and operating procedures must be followed.
Wireless and Bluetooth Operation is dependent upon signal availability of the wireless service(s) necessary to maintain the communication link. Loss of wireless signal will prevent communication of alarms and other information to linked devices and will prevent the use of LUNAR search capabilities. Take appropriate precautions in the event a loss of wireless signal occurs.
The search functionality is dependent upon the Target of the search having an operational, connected LUNAR device that is powered on, connected through wireless signal, and on the Target’s person. If the LUNAR device is not operational, powered on, and connected through wireless signal, the Target will not be able to be searched. If the LUNAR device is not on the Target’s person, the search function will lead searchers to the LUNAR device rather than the Target.
If the LUNAR device does not operate correctly as described in these instructions, remove the LUNAR device from service. Make sure an MSA trained and certified repair technician corrects the unsatisfactory condition before returning the LUNAR device to service. This device is NOT field serviceable.
Repair or alteration of the device beyond the procedures described in this manual or by anyone other than a person authorized by MSA could cause the unit to fail to perform properly. Use only genuine MSA replacement parts when performing any maintenance procedures described in this manual. Substitution of components can seriously impair performance of the unit, alter intrinsic safety characteristics, or void agency approvals.
Before and after each use, inspect the device to determine if servicing is required. Do not use if the device does not power on successfully or if device is bent, cracked, modified, or otherwise compromised.
Exposure to high temperature environments for an extended period of time may cause degradation or loss of thermal image. Avoid heat saturation or overexposure of the equipment. If degradation of the thermal image is observed, immediately remove the equipment from the high heat environment and allow it to cool until the thermal image returns to normal; otherwise, the system may become inoperative.
Do NOT mark the device with stamps, labels, paint, or other method. Use of such markings may interfere with camera use or may constitute a flammability hazard.
Do NOT charge LUNAR in explosive atmospheres.
Only charge LUNAR and LUNAR battery packs indoors.
Only charge the LUNAR battery in temperatures between 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F).
Only charge LUNAR or LUNAR batteries with the Single-Point Charger or Universal Multi-Bay Charger with power supplies provided by MSA at time of purchase.
Do NOT use a rechargeable battery charging system, which includes the Single-Point Charger or Universal Multi-Bay Charger, power supply and power cords, if any component of the system shows damage. Replace the components if they show cracks or distortion, or if the cord shows damage or wear.
Keep LUNAR and rechargeable battery charging system dry. Do NOT disassemble, repair, or alter LUNAR or charging system. Do NOT immerse in water or other liquids.
Do NOT expose the rechargeable battery or charging system to high temperature or heating equipment including, but not limited to, direct sunlight and water heaters. Overheating may cause an explosion.
Do NOT drop, crush or puncture the rechargeable battery or charging system. Damage from such occurrences can lead to short-circuit and overheating of the equipment.
To prevent electric shock or fire, do not remove the cover or tamper with the case of the power supplies provided in each charging system. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. The power supplies contain hazardous voltages and must not be opened. Do not use if any damage to the power supply is observed, including bent prongs, cracked case, modified or compromised. To avoid the possibility of electric shock, disconnect electric power to the power supply before connecting or disconnecting the power supply to the charger clip or charger bay.
POWER SUPPLIES for Universal Multi-Bay Charger: AC Mains voltage must be provided to the power supply by a power supply cord approved to the national standards in which it will be used.
FUSING: Internal fuse for Line is provided in the power supply. A blown internal fuse is an indication of critical condition of circuit component(s). If you suspect a blown fuse, do NOT use the device. Return to MSA for service.
Do NOT dispose of batteries in a fire. Batteries can explode. Dispose of in accordance with local regulations and requirements.
Do NOT replace the battery with another type of battery. Use only LUNAR battery packs. Use of an incorrect battery type creates a risk of explosion.
Do NOT use a rechargeable battery pack that shows signs of damage such as bulging, swelling, leaking fluid, a cracked housing, or broken contacts.
Do NOT attempt to open the housing of the rechargeable battery pack. The rechargeable battery pack does not have replaceable cells.
Failure to follow these warnings can result in serious personal injury or death.
WARNING!/Avertissement!
