8. Performance of tightness and stress tests
During the test an info text informs about the current progress.
Each tightness and stress test consists of a stabilisation phase for the
temperature compensation, and following measurement. Test pressure
and duration of stabilization phase and measurement depend on the
corresponding norms. (TRGI, TRF, TRWI, …).
At the beginning of a tightness or stress test, the particular test pressure
has to be applied.
If the test pressure has been applied, or the pressurization has been
stopped prematurely, the stabilization phase starts with 'Ready'.
During the stabilization phase the actual pressure, the start pressure of
the stabilization phase, the pressure drop and the elapsed stabilization
time are displayed.
A negative pressure drop (e.g. -0.1 mbar) means an increase in pressure. A possible reason for that is influence of temperature.
If the stabilization time has elapsed or the stabilization phase has been
ended prematurely with 'Continue', the measurement starts.
During the measurement the actual pressure, the start pressure of the
measurement, the pressure drop during the measurement, the stabilization time and the elapsed measuring time are displayed.
After the measuring time is elapsed or the measurement has been
ended prematurely, the results are displayed.
The start pressure of the measurement, the end pressure of the measurement, the pressure drop during the measurement, the stabilization
time and the measuring time are displayed.
Instruction manual Dräger P4000

12. Water pipe checks
12.1 General Information
According to DIN EN 806-4 water pipes have to be pressure tested after new installations,
modification and repair. Demanded is a hygienically proper tightness test. The stipulated
tests can be performed with water, oil-free clean air or inert gas.
The tightness test with inert gas (e.g. Nitrogen) has to be performed where increased hygienic requirements, e.g. in hospitals, retirement homes, kindergartens or medical practices.
The tightness test with air has to be performed, when a prolonged downtime period is expected.
The tightness test with drinking water can be performed, when the water exchange starts up
according to its dedicated operation latest 72 hours after the tightness test.
Tests of drinking-water installations may only be performed via the optional external
high-pressure sensor EP250. If these tests were performed via the internal pressure
sensor or with the external high-pressure sensor EP35, the instrument can be seri-
ously damaged!

The stress test of drinking-water installations has to be performed after the tightness test, in
combination with a visual inspection of all pipe connections.
The measuring pressure for nominal diameters up to DN 50 is maximally 3 bar, and for
nominal diameters up to DN 100 maximally 1 bar.
The test time is stipulated with 10 minutes. The duration of the stabilization phase shall be
adequate. A duration of 10 minutes is empirically appropriate.
For safety reasons higher pressures than 3 bar are not permitted for tests with air.
1. Select stress test 1 bar (up to DN 100) or 3 bar (up to DN 50).
2. Increase pressure in pipe to test pressure. For that connect a pump via a valve to the
drinking-water installation and increase the pressure.
3. Remove the pump and confirm the pressure increase by tapping 'Ready', the stabilization time starts.
4. After the stabilization time the measurement time starts automatically.
12.5 Tightness test with water for crimped connections (untight if not crimped)
Untight if not crimped connections have to be tested with a test pressure of 6 bar, or according to their manufacturer’s specifications, before the actual tightness test.
The stabilization time is 10 minutes and the test time is 15 minutes. During the test time a
pressure drop shall not occur, and no leak shall be detectable.
1. Increase pressure in pipe to test pressure. For that connect a pump via a valve to the
drinking-water installation and increase the pressure.
2. Confirm the pressure increase by tapping 'Ready', the stabilization time starts.
3. After the stabilization time the measurement time starts automatically.

12.6 Tightness test with water for metal-, multi-layer composite- and PVC pipings
Drinking-water installations of metal-, multi-layer composite- and PVC pipings have to be
tightness tested with water, at a test pressure of 11 bar.
The stabilization time is 10 minutes and the test time is 30 minutes. During the test time a
pressure drop shall not occur and no leak shall be detectable.
1. Increase pressure in pipe that has to be tested, to 11 bar. For that connect a pump
via a valve to the drinking-water installation and increase the pressure.
2. Confirm the pressure increase by tapping 'Ready', the stabilization time starts.
3. After the stabilization time the measurement time starts automatically.
12.7 Tightness test with water for PP, PE, PE-X- and PB pipes, and with
these combined pipings
The tightness test with water for PP, PE, PE-X- and PB pipes, and with these combined
installations made of metal and multi-layer composite pipings, consists of a stabilization
phase and a measuring phase.
The stabilization time is 30 minutes, the test pressure is for that test 11.0 bar.
During these 30 minutes the test pressure has to be kept up by re-pumping.
After that the test pressure has to be decreased to 5.5 bar. With the decreased pressure a
test time of 120 minutes has to be kept. During the test time a pressure drop shall not occur
and no leak shall be detectable.
1. Increase pressure in pipe that has to be tested, to 11.0 bar. For that connect a pump
via a valve to the drinking-water installation and increase the pressure.
2. Confirm the pressure increase by tapping 'Ready', the stabilization time starts.
3. Keep up the test pressure within the 30 minutes of the stabilization phase by repumping.
4. Decrease after the stabilization time the test pressure to 5.5 bar and start the measuring time.

18. Power supply
18.1 General information about the power supply
A built-in lithium-ion battery allows a mains independent use.
The run time with a fully charged battery is up to 10 hours, but depends to kind of measurement and display lighting.
Measurements can be proceeded during charging.
18.2 Battery charging
The charge level is permanently monitored and displayed by the instrument.
The battery symbol on the display indicates the charge level. Red flashing of the charge
control indicator on the side of the instrument indicates a discharged battery.
The instrument should be charged from this moment. Charge the Dräger P4000 only with
an USB power supply with 5V DC / 1 A. If the instrument will not be used for a longer time,
we recommend a monthly charging for at least 8 hours. The included USB power supply is
designed for a mains voltage of 100 – 240 Volts AC. For safety reasons the proper condition
of the USB power supply should be checked regularly.
The charging takes, depending on its charge level, 1 to 4 hours. During the charging, the
LED of the charge control indicator, on the instrument's side, is flashing red. After the end
of charging, the flashing of the LED turns into a steady light. That means that the battery is
from now on charged with a trickle charge.
If charging has been forgotten, the instrument switches off automatically. If it is impossible
to switch on the instrument, because of low voltage, plug in the charger and switch on the
instrument again!!
Avoid a deep discharge, because that can shorten the lifetime of the battery.
