Operation

Before entering the workplace

CAUTION

Check and, if necessary, adjust the calibration before carrying out safety-relevant measure­ments. A function test with gas (bump test) must be carried out in accordance with local
regulations.

● Switch on the device. The current measured values are shown in the display.

● Observe any warning » « or fault » « messages.

The device can be operated normally. If the warning message does not go out auto­matically during operation, the device must be maintained after the end of use.

The device is not ready to measure and requires maintenance.

If one of these special symbols is displayed, appropriate measures, refer to page 23 to
page 25, must be taken.

● Check that the gas inlet opening on the device is not covered.

WARNING

The presence of catalyst poisons in the measured gas (e.g., volatile silicone, sulfur, heavy
metal compounds or halogenated hydrocarbons) can damage the DrägerSensor CatEx
125 PR. If the sensor cannot be calibrated to the target concentration anymore, the sensor
must be replaced. The display of the CatEx 125 PR sensor may be incorrect in an oxygen­poor atmosphere. Electrical operating safety (Ex protection) is not guaranteed in an oxygen­enriched atmosphere. Danger of explosion!

During operation

During operation, the measured values for every measured gas are displayed.
If a measuring range is exceeded or a negative drift occurs, the following displays are shown
instead of the measured value display:

» « (too high concentration) or » « (negative drift).

— If the concentrations of combustible materials are too high, this may result in a lack

of oxygen.

— If the O

In the event of an alarm, the corresponding displays, including the visual, audible and vibra­tion alarms are activated – refer to “Identifying Alarms” on page 18.

When the measuring range on the CatEx channel is significantly exceeded (very high concen­tration of flammable substances), a latching alarm is triggered. This CatEx latching alarm is
acknowledged either automatically by a functioning (i.e. free of warnings and malfunctions)
oxygen channel or by manually switching the unit off and on again in fresh air.

concentrations are under 8 vol. %, a fault with » « is displayed for the

2

Ex channel instead of the measured value, if the measurement is below the pre-alarm
threshold.

WARNING

After exposition to concentrations above 100 %LEL, the indication displayed at the CatEx
channel may be incorrect. Before any further use of the device within the concentration
range from 0 to 100 %LEL, check and, if necessary, adjust the zero point and the sensitivity.

After the measuring range of the TOX measuring channels has been exceeded temporarily
(up to one hour), checking the measuring channels is not necessary.
When using a CatEx sensor in the Dräger X-am 2000, the zero point and sensitivity must be
adjusted after any extreme impact loading.

Identifying Alarms

An alarm is displayed visually, audibly and through vibration in a specific pattern.

Concentration pre-alarm A1

The alarm is indicated by an intermittent alarm message:

Display »A1« and measured value alternating: not for O

— The pre-alarm A1 is not self-latching and stops when the concentration has dropped below

the alarm setpoint A1.

— In the case of A1 a single tone is audible and the alarm LED flashes.
Acknowledging a pre-alarm:

● Press the key. Only the audible alarm and the vibration alarm are switched off.

Concentration main alarm A2

The alarm is indicated by an intermittent alarm message:

Display »A2« and measured value alternating:
In the case of A2 a double tone is audible and the alarm LED flashes twice.

: »A1« and measurement value alternating = oxygen deficiency

For O

» A2 « and measurement value alternating = oxygen surplus

DANGER

Leave the area immediately. Danger to life! A main alarm is self-latching
and cannot be acknowledged or cancelled.

After leaving the area, if the concentration is less than the alarm setpoint A2:

● Press the key. The alarm messages are switched off.

● A latching alarm on the CatEx channel (due to the measuring range being significantly ex-

ceeded) cannot be acknowledged by the key. The CatEx latching alarm is acknow­ledged either automatically by a functioning (i.e. free of warnings and malfunctions) oxygen
channel or by manually switching the unit off and on again in fresh air.

Pump Operation

Pump Operation

With Dräger X-am 125 pump

Accessories:

page 53

Commissioning and performing the measurement:

● see the Instructions for Use of the Dräger X-am 125.

With hand pump adapter and rubber ball pump

Accessories:
Hand pump adapter, rubber ball pump, sampling hose and probes, see Order List, see
“Accessories” on page 53.

Commissioning and performing the measurement:

● see the Instructions for Use of the used accessories.

Observe the following during pump operation mode

● The required waiting time when flushing the extension hose or probes.
Prior to every measurement, flush the Dräger sampling hose or the Dräger probes with the
air sample to be measured.

— It is absolutely necessary to flush the extension hose for a period of time to eliminate or

minimize the effects which may interfere with measurements when using a sampling hose
or a probe, e.g. memory effects, dead volume.

— The flushing time depends on various factors e.g. type and concentration of the gas or va-

por to be measured, material, length, diameter and age of the sampling hose or the probe.
Generally, when using a sampling hose (new, dry, clean), a typical flushing time of approx.
3 seconds is required per meter. This flushing time applies in addition to the sensor re­sponse time (see the Instructions for Use of the used gas measuring device).
Example:

— In the case of a 10 m long sampling hose, the flushing time is approx. 30 seconds and the

sensor response time is in addition approx. 60 seconds. Hence, the total time required to
read the gas measuring device is approx. 90 seconds.

— The flow rate alarm is delayed depending on the length of the hose by 10 to 30 seconds.

national regulations). We recommend that you calibrate all channels after 6 months.

● Depending on device configuration:
Replace the alkaline batteries or charge the battery – refer to page 42 to page 43 – after
each use, at the latest after the battery alarm has been triggered or after 2 weeks.

● Device calibration – page 35.

— In regular intervals, according to the used sensors and the operating conditions. For sen-

sor-specific calibration data, refer to the Instructions for Use of the used sensors

— Before you carry out safety-related relevant measurements, the zero point and sensitivity

of the devices should be tested in accordance with national regulations.

● Inspection by suitably qualified persons – every year.

— The inspection intervals must be established in each individual case and shortened if ne-

cessary, depending on technical safety considerations, engineering conditions and the
technical requirements of the equipment.

— We recommend that a service agreement be concluded with Dräger Safety and that re-

pairs also be carried out by them.

● Replace the sensors, page 46 – if necessary, when it is not possible to calibrate the sen­sors anymore.

CAUTION

Do not inhale the test gas. Risk to health!
Observe the hazard warnings of the rele­vant Safety Data Sheets.

● Switch on the device and insert it into the
calibration cradle – press downwards un­til it engages.

● Open the test gas cylinder valve to let test
gas flow over the sensors.

● Wait until the device displays the test gas
concentration with sufficient tolerance –

O2: 17.4 vol.-% ... 18.6 vol.-%
H2S: 12 ppm ... 18 ppm
CO: 40 ppm ... 60 ppm
If the alarm setpoints are exceeded, the
device displays the gas concentration in
alternation with »A1« or »A2« depen-
ding on the test gas concentration.

● Close the test gas cylinder valve and re­move the device from the calibration cr­adle.

— If the concentration has now fallen under

The "Quick bump test" or the "Extended
bump test" is selected using the Dräger CC
Vision PC software. The "Quick bump test"
checks whether the gas concentration has
exceeded the Alarm 1 threshold (with oxy­gen, the check is whether the concentration
has fallen below the Alarm 1 threshold). The
"Extended bump test" checks whether the
gas concentration has exceeded the Alarm 1
threshold (with oxygen, the check is whether
the concentration has fallen below the Alarm
1 threshold) and whether the gas concentra­tion has reached the preset bump test con­centration.

Charging the Rechargeable Batteries

WARNING

Do not charge underground or in explosion-hazard areas! Danger of explosion!
The chargers are not designed in accordance with the regulations for firedamp and explo­sion protection.

Even if the device is not used, we recommend that you store the device in the charger (Char­ging module X-am 1/2/5000, order no. 83 18 639)!

To maintain the lifetime of the batteries, charging is temperature controlled and only perfor­med in a temperature range of 5 to 35
When this temperature range is left, the charging is automatically interrupted and automati­cally continued after the temperature range has been reached again.
The charging time is typically 4 hours.
A new NiMH power pack reaches its full capacity after three full charging/discharging cycles.

Charging with the multiple charging station

— A maximum of 20 devices can be charged at the same time on the power pack (order no.

83 18 805) of the multiple charging station.

● When attaching the charging modules, disconnect the power pack from the mains supply!

Attaching charging modules
1 Turn the slots of the interlock into a horizontal position by using a screwdriver or coin.
2 Insert the projecting tongue of the charging module (at the same time, current entry) until

it engages.

1 Close the interlock with a quarter turn (slot is positioned vertically).

o

C.

● Attach additional charging modules in the same way.

— Always connect or disconnect the charging modules individually and not in groups in order

to prevent the charging station from becoming damaged. During transportation, the power
pack and the charging modules should also always be handled individually and without in­serted devices.

Fault

Full

If a fault occurs:
Remove the device from the charging
module and insert it again.
If the fault still occurs, have the charging
module repaired.

It takes approx. 4 hours to fully charge an
empty rechargeable battery.

A short circuit of the charging contacts in the
charging modules, e.g. by metallic objects
that have fallen in, does not result in damage
to the charging station. It should, however,
be avoided due to possible heating hazards
and incorrect displays on the charging
module.

In the event of a short circuit or if the power
pack is overloaded:
3 The red "Overload" LED lights, and an

audible alarm sounds.

— After the fault has been corrected, the

alarm is switched off automatically and
the charging process is restarted.

— In the event of a power failure, the devi-

ces already charged will be protected
from discharging.
