!
2.2 Intended use
The Dräger Polytron 8000 is an explosion proof instrument for
continuous monitoring of toxic gases or oxygen in the ambient
air. The instrument is housed in a rugged stainless steel or
aluminum enclosure for indoor and outdoor applications. The
instrument can be connected through a sealed conduit or
approved cable gland to a Dräger monitoring system or a
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). With the optional alarm
relay configuration, the instrument can be operated as a standalone unit. The instrument is designed to be installed in
permanent locations and is approved for use in hazardous,
classified areas, see Section 10.1 on Page 37. With the
optionally integrated relay module, the instrument can be
operated without a central controller (with additional local
alarm signaling).
For safe operation, the connection to a central controller is
necessary. This also applies if all relays are connected
because the fault relay is not activated during maintenance. In
any case, the analog output must be monitored because it
might indicate a special status by a current between 0 and 3.5
mA.
CAUTION
Not tested in oxygen enriched atmospheres
(>21% O2). High off-scale readings may indicate an
explosive concentration.
2.3 Intended operating area and conditions
Hazardous areas classified by zones:
The device is intended to be used only in hazardous areas
classified Zone 1 or Zone 2, within a temperature range as
marked on the device, where gases of explosion Groups IIA,
IIB or IIC and temperature class T4 or T6 (depending on the
maximum ambient temperature) or dusts of Groups IIIA, IIIB or
IIIC may be present.
Hazardous areas classified by divisions:
The device is intended to be used only in hazardous areas
Class I or II, Div. 1 or Div. 2, within a temperature range as
marked on the device, where gases or dusts of Groups A, B,
C, D or E, F, G and temperature class T4 or T6 (depending on
the maximum ambient temperature) may be present.
2.4 Design
The instrument is powered by 10 to 30 VDC (see Section 10.4
on Page 41). Gas concentrations, status messages, and menu
choices are displayed on a backlit graphic LC-display and 3
colored LEDs. The measured gas concentration is converted
to a 4 to 20 mA analog (per NAMUR recommendation NE43)
or a digital HART output signal. The instrument can be
operated as current source or sink.
Navigation through the menu is done by taping a magnetic
wand on the glass at the appropriate indicator.
WARNING
Danger of explosions. Not to be used in oxygen
enriched atmospheres. None of the Polytron 8000
instruments are certified and approved to be operated
in oxygen enriched atmospheres.
The instrument can be configured, calibrated and maintained
non-intrusively without declassifying the area.

Installation
3 Installation
3.1 General information for installation
To ensure overall system performance and effectiveness, the
selection of an installation site for the instrument is one of the
most important factors. Strict compliance where possible and
considerable thought must be given to every detail of
installation, particularly:
the local, state, national codes and regulations that govern
the installation of gas monitoring equipment.
the electrical codes that govern the routing and connection
of electrical power and signal cables to gas monitoring
equipment.
for non-conduit installations, an approved cable gland must
be used, see Section 10.1 on Page 37 (e.g. Hawke A501/
421/A/¾” NPT or equivalent). It might be necessary to
connect the shield of the cable to the cable gland and to the
controller in order to improve RFI immunity.
the full range of environmental conditions to which the
instruments will be exposed to.
the physical data of the gas or vapor to be detected.
the specifics of the application, (e.g. possible leaks, air
movement/draft, etc.).
the degree of accessibility required for maintenance
purposes.
the types of optional and accessory equipment that will be
used with the system.
any other limiting factors or regulations that would affect
system performance or installations.
the flameproof / explosion proof enclosure provides three
¾" NPT openings, which can be used for field wiring, direct
attachment of a sensor or wiring of a remote sensor.
unused openings must be closed with a plug. For correct
tightening torques of conduit hubs, cable glands, plugs and
sensor see Section 10.8 on Page 42.
secondary circuit intended to be supplied from an isolating
source (N/A for relay circuits).
the optional increased safety terminal box provides up to
four 20 mm openings, which can be used for field wiring or
wiring of a remote sensor. The permissible cable diameter
range is 7 to 12 mm.
when installed at locations exceeding ambient
temperatures of 55 °C, use only appropriate wiring,
specified for at least 25 °C above the maximum ambient
temperature.
strip wire insulation by 5 to 7 mm.
connect the wires as indicated in wiring figure Section 3 on
Page 8 (also showing grounding conductor terminal).
the wiring for the optional relay module must be selected
and fused according to the rated voltages, currents and
environmental conditions.
if stranded conductors are used, a ferrule must be used.
3.2 Installation restrictions
The instrument must have between 10 to 30 VDC at the
instrument. This ultimately determines the distance the
instrument can be mounted from the controller or power
supply. The instrument accepts wire sizes of 12 to 24 AWG
(0.2 to 2.5 mm2). Use at least a three-conductor, shielded
cable.
The instrument must not be exposed to radiant heat that
will cause the temperature to rise beyond the limits stated
in see Section 10.6 on Page 41. The use of a reflecting
shield is recommended.
The enclosure is weatherproof within environmental
parameters and suitable for outdoor installation. The use of
the optional splash guard (6812510) is recommended to
protect the sensor from water and dust.
Each instrument must be installed and operated in an
environment that conforms to the specifications, see
Section 10 on Page 37.
To insure proper operation of the instrument, the
impedance of the 4 to 20 mA signal loop must not exceed
500 Ohms. Depending on the operating voltage and
according to the application (e.g. HART operation), certain
minimum impedances must be observed (see Section 3.3
on Page 8). The conductors for the power supply must
have an adequately low resistance to insure the correct
supply voltage at the instrument.
NOTICE
i
i
The instrument may be equipped with a dust plug at
the conduit entry. This plug is not explosion proof nor
meant to be watertight, and must be removed before
connecting the instrument to a sealed conduit or
installation of a flameproof cable gland.

Polytron 8000 uses different current values to indicate various
modes of operation. The factory default settings are user
adjustable for application specific requirements, see Section 7
on Page 34. This follows the NAMUR recommendation NE43.
4.1.2 The display and LEDs
In normal operation, the display shows the measured gas
concentration, the selected gas and the unit of measurement.
The green LED is lit.
The following symbols may also be displayed:
" ", when the measuring range is exceeded
" - - - - " and " X " when a fault has been detected. The
yellow LED is lit, see Section 6.3 on Page 31.
"SIL", when SIL status is activated.
If the optional relay board is installed:
When the first alarm (pre alarm) has been triggered the red
LED blinks in single mode. The A1 relay is asserted.
When the second alarm (main alarm) has been triggered
the red LED blinks in double mode. The A2 relay is
asserted.
If the A2 is configured as acknowledgeable, and the A1 is
configured as non-acknowledgeable, then, when an A2
alarm occurs, the red LED will blink in double blink A2
mode. After the alarm is acknowledged, the red LED will
blink in single blink mode to indicate A1 is still active.

5.7 Settings instrument
5.7.1 Alarm settings
CAUTION
This function is only available if the relay module is
installed.
With factory default settings and during normal operation, the
relays are energized. This provides a “fail-safe” operation.
Switching the alarm On or Off
Select Settings > Instrument > Alarm > Alarm on/off.
Select Enable or Disable and confirm.
CAUTION
If the alarm is set to Off, an alarm condition will not be
shown by the LEDs or assert the relay!
NOTICE
The maintenance signal is transmitted and the symbol
[ ] is displayed.
Configuring Relay A1 or A2
This function defines whether the alarm relay is energized
during normal operation or energized at an alarm condition.
If the configuration of the relay is set to “Normally energized”,
the relay contact is asserted during normal operation and
changes if an alarm is triggered. At a loss of power this will
trigger an alarm (fail-safe). The fault relay is factory-configured
to “Normally energized” and cannot be changed.
Select Settings > Instrument > Alarm > Relay A1 or
Relay A2 and confirm.
Select Normally energ. or Energ. on alarm and confirm.
Configuring Alarm A1 or A2
Latching means that once the alarm level is reached, the
instrument will trigger the alarm. It will remain in alarm status
even if the gas concentration subsequently does not meet the
alarm condition any more. To clear a latching alarm it has to be
acknowledged with [OK].
In non-latching mode, the alarm status clears if the gas
concentration does not meet the alarm condition anymore.
Acknowledgeable means that the alarm relay can be reset
before alarm condition clears.
Non-acknowledgeable means that the alarm relay can not be
reset until the alarm condition clears.
NOTICE
i
i
The hysteresis function defines an interval where a
triggered relay maintains its status until the gas
concentration is outside the defined interval. This
prevents relays from chattering at an alarm set-point.

Explanation of combining latching, acknowledgment and
pre-acknowledgment of alarms:
Since the concepts of latching and acknowledgment can be
confusing, the following six combinations are offered for
clarification:
Latching and
acknowledgeable
Latching and nonacknowledgeable
Latching and preacknowledgeable
Non-latching and
acknowledgeable
Non-latching and
nonacknowledgeable
Non-latching and
preacknowledgeable
NOTICE
For safe operation:
The relays must be set to “Normally energized” and
the A2 alarm (main alarm) must be set to “latching”
and “not acknowledgeable” or “preacknowledgeable”.
The A1 alarm (pre alarm) may only be set to
“acknowledgeable” if it is used for triggering an
acoustic alarm device.

5.9.1 Sensor change
With this function, a sensor can be changed during operation
without triggering a fault signal at the central controller. It also
ensures that all sensor data in the microprocessor can be
saved in the sensor memory (EEPROM) before disconnecting
the sensor.
A sensor can be changed at any time. However, for safety
reasons a fault alarm is generated when the sensor is
disconnected until a new sensor is connected.
1. Select Settings > Sensor > Sensor change and confirm.
The maintenance signal is generated on the analog
interface, the following display shows: “Please remove the
sensor”.
2. Replace the old sensor with a new sensor, see Section 6.4
on Page 33.
When the new sensor is installed:
Display: “Loading data, please wait”.
When the sensor data are loaded:
Display: “Data loaded”.
3. Select Back to menu and confirm.
The maintenance signal on the analog interface remains
pending until the sensor is warmed-up.
The warm-up time depends on the type of sensor and its
history. For example, if the sensor has already warmed-up on
another instrument and the operation was only interrupted for
a short time, the warm-up time can be shorter than the time
specified in the Instructions for Use for the sensor.
Maximum warm-up time of a new sensor: see the Instructions
for Use for the sensor.

6.1 Maintenance intervals
6.1.1 During commissioning
Check calibration.
Check signal transmission to the central controller, LEDs
and triggering of alarm devices.
6.1.2 Every 6 months
Inspection by trained service personnel.
Check signal transmission to the central controller, LEDs
and triggering of alarm devices.
The maintenance intervals must be established for each
individual installation. Depending on safety considerations
and application specific conditions the instrument is used
in, these might need to be shortened.
Contact Dräger Service to contract regular calibration and
maintenance services.
6.1.3 Change sensor on demand
To change the sensor, see Section 6.4 on Page 33.
6.2 Calibration
Calibration of the instrument must be performed at regular
intervals as detailed in the sensor data sheet.
General procedure
Attach the pressure regulator to the calibration gas
cylinder.
Fit calibration adapter to the sensor.
The gas flow should be approximately 0.5 L/min.
If the intended operation is at high altitudes, the reading will
be lower than the reading at sea level (reduced partial
pressure). A new span calibration is recommended if the
altitude or the ambient pressure is changed. The factory
calibration is set to sea level.
Connect the tubing to the barbed fitting.
WARNING
Calibration gas must not be inhaled! See appropriate
Material Safety Data Sheets. Calibration gas should be
vented into a fume hood or to the outside of the
building.
For proper operation, never adjust the span before
completing zero adjustment. Performing these
operations out of order will cause the calibration to be
faulty.
NOTICE
Calibration is not possible if the date and time are not
set (see Section 5.7.3 on Page 20).
Dräger recommends calibrating instruments with target gas.
This method of target gas calibration is more accurate than a
surrogate gas calibration. A surrogate gas calibration may only
be performed as an alternative if a target gas calibration is not
possible.
The sensor should be fully warmed-up (see sensor data
sheet).

Sensor principle
8 Sensor principle
Dräger electrochemical sensors are measuring the partial
pressure of gases under atmospheric conditions. The
monitored ambient air diffuses through a membrane into the
liquid electrolyte in the sensor. The electrolyte contains a
measuring electrode, a counter-electrode and a reference
electrode. An electronic potentiostat circuit ensures a constant
electrical voltage between measuring electrode and reference
electrode. Voltage, electrolyte and electrode material are
selected to suit the gas being monitored so that it is
transformed electrochemically on the measuring electrode and
a current flows through the sensor. This current is proportional
to the gas concentration.
At the same time, Oxygen from the ambient air reacts at the
counter-electrode electrochemically.
The current flowing through the sensor is amplified
electrochemically, digitized and corrected for several
parameters (e.g. the ambient temperature).
9 Disposing the instrument
Disposal of electrical and electronic equipment:

Increased sensor drift could be caused by high
concentrations of acid gases (> 1 Vol%), which might
reduce the calibration interval. The sensor service life
is reduced depending on the exposure time and the
concentration of the acid gases (e.g. lifetime in
atmospheres containing CO
hours).

Organic solvents (e.g. acetone, propyl alcohol, etc.)
can penetrate into the plastic parts of the sensor. If the
sensor is exposed to higher concentrations (> 1 Vol%)
over several days, these substances could cause a
sensor drift which might reduce the calibration interval.
However, these will not reduce the sensor service life.

NOTICE
The table shows the response of the sensor to other
gases than the target gas (cross sensitivities). The
listed values are typical and are valid for new sensors.
The table does not claim to be complete. Gas mixtures
can be displayed as the sum of all components.
Gases with a negative cross sensitivity can cancel out
a positive sensor signal. The influence of the O
displacement is not taken into account (partial
pressure measurement).
