Latest version.

(a) Whenever the use of an air contaminant detector is required by this code, the air contaminant detector must automatically cause both an audible signal sufficiently loud to be heard by a person of normal hearing twenty feet from the detector and a readily visible flashing red light upon the emission of an air contaminant of a density which appears darker than number one on the standard smoke chart, or of an opacity which obscures vision to a degree greater than smoke of number one density on the standard smoke chart. (b) The signalling devices of the air contaminant detector shall also be located at the principal work location of the person supervising the equipment. (c) If two or more units of equipment are connected to a single flue, one air contaminant detector may be used if installed to monitor all of the units. (d) If the light source of a photoelectric type of air contaminant detector fails to operate properly, the detector must automatically cause an audible signal sufficiently loud to be heard by a person of normal hearing twenty feet away from the detector and a readily visible flashing red light which shall continue to operate until manually reset. (e) Whenever the use of an air contaminant recorder is required by this code, the air contaminant recorder must: (1) continuously produce a record of the time, duration, concentration and density of an air contaminant of a density which appears darker than number one on the standard smoke chart, or of an opacity which obscures vision to a degree greater than number one; or (2) continuously produce a record of the time, duration, and concentration of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides by volume and particulate matter by weight. (f) Except as provided in section 24-171 of this code, the record made by the air contaminant recorder shall be dated and retained on the premises where the recorder is located for a period of sixty days from the last date appearing on the record.
