Operation with pump
Notice for the adjustment of the ex-channel to nonane as
a measuring gas:
During the calibration of the ex-channel, propane can be
used as a substitute calibration gas.
When using propane to adjust the ex-channel to nonane, the
display must be set to twice the used test gas concentration.
Notice for the use in subsurface mining:
For the calibration of the ex-channel to the measuring gas
methane, the display of the instrument must be set to
a value of 5 % (relative) higher than the used test gas
concentration.
Automatic fresh air calibration in the charging cradle
(CatEx sensor only):
Calibrate the gas detector to fresh air, free of measured gases
or other interfering gases. If the function is selected, a fresh air
calibration of the CatEx sensor is performed automatically as
soon as the gas detector is inserted in the charging cradle.
This function can be selected or disabled using the CC-Vision
PC software.
No calibration takes place if the warm-up is not yet complete:
Alarm LED is illuminated red.
The acoustic signal sounds twice followed by three short
tones and the gas detector switches off.
Once the fresh air calibration has been successfully
completed:
Alarm LED is illuminated red.
The acoustic signal sounds once followed by three short
tones and the gas detector switches off.
The duration of the flushing phase depends on factors such as type
and concentration of the gas or vapour to be measured, material,
length, diameter and age of the sampling hose or probe. As a rule
of thumb, a typical flushing time of 3 seconds per metre can be
assumed for a sampling hose (factory-new, dry, clean). This
flushing time applies in addition to the sensor response time (see
instructions for use of the gas detector used).
Example:
The flushing time for a 10 m hose is approx. 30 seconds. The
sensor response time is approx. 60 seconds in addition. The
overall time before reading the gas detector therefore is
approx. 90 seconds.
The flow alarm is delayed by 10 to 30 seconds, depending on
the hose length.

5.5Calibration with the X-dock maintenance
station
The modular X-dock 5300/6300/6600 maintenance station
(see order list) can be used to automatically perform
calibrations and bump tests of several gas warning devices in
parallel and independently of each other. More detailed
information can be found in the corresponding instructions for
use (see the X-dock product page at www.draeger.com).
6Operation with pump
Observe the following when performing measurements
using the pump
Perform visual inspection of the probe, if necessary.
Wait for the flushing time to end.
Flush the Dräger sampling hose or Dräger probes prior to
each measurement with the air sample to be measured.
The flushing phase is necessary to minimize or eliminate any
effects associated with the use of a sampling hose or a probe,
e.g. memory effects, dead volume.
