General safety statements
Before using this product, carefully read the associated Instructions for Use. This
document does not replace the Instructions for Use.
Definitions of alert icons
The following alert icons are used in this document to provide and highlight areas of
the associated text that require a greater awareness by the user. A definition of the
meaning of each icon is as follows:
DANGER
Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death
or serious injury.
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
physical injury, or damage to the product or environment. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
Indicates additional information on how to use the product.
Intended Use
Portable gas detection instrument for the continuous monitoring of the concentration of
several gases in the ambient air within the working area and in explosion-hazard areas.
X-am 5000, depending on the device type and configuration of DrägerSensors:
independent measurement of one up to five gases.
4
Tests and Approvals
Tests and Approvals
Copies of the name plate and the declaration of conformity are provided in the
enclosed supplementary documentation (order no. 90 33 890).
The BVS 10 ATEX E 080 X technical suitability test is based on the adjustment with the
target gas.
Do not stick anything on the name plate on the gas detector.
The technical suitability tests are valid for the X-am 5000 gas detector and the
calibration cradle. The explosion-protection approvals are only valid for the X-am 5000
gas detector; the calibration cradle must not be used in the Ex zone.
5
Tests and Approvals
Intended operating area and operating conditions
Areas subject to explosion hazards, classified by zones
The instrument is intended for the use in explosion-hazard areas of Zone 0, Zone 1 or
Zone 2 or in mines at risk due to fire damp. It is intended for use within a temperature
range of -20 °C to +50 °C, and for areas in which gases of explosion groups IIA, IIB or
IIC and temperature class T3 or T4 (depending on the batteries and rechargeable
battery) may be present. If used in mines, the instrument is only to be used in areas
known to have a low risk of mechanical impact.
Areas subject to explosion hazards, classified by divisions.
The instrument is intended for use in explosion-hazard areas according to Class I&II,
Div. 1 or Div. 2 within a temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C, and for areas where
gases or dusts of groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G and temperature class T3 or T4 may be
present (depending on the rechargeable battery and batteries).
WARNING:
CSA requirement: The sensitivity must be tested on a daily basis before first use with
a known concentration of the gas to be measured in accordance with 25 to 50 % of
the concentration limit value. The accuracy must be 0 to +20 % of the actual value.
The accuracy can be corrected via calibration.
Safety instructions
WARNING
To reduce the danger of explosion, do not mix new batteries with old batteries and do
not mix batteries made by different manufacturers.
WARNING
Always disconnect the device from the power pack before carrying out any
maintenance operations.
WARNING
Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
CAUTION
Not tested in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere (>21 % O
WARNING
High off-scale readings may indicate an explosive concentration.

Tests and Approvals
CAUTION
Use only supply units ABT 0100 (83 22 237), HBT 0000 (83 18 704) or HBT 0100
(83 22 244). Check the supply unit for approved batteries and applicable temperature
class.
Note the following for CSA (Canadian Standards Association) applications:
For the CSA approval only the functions of the device component that is used to
measure flammable gases are tested. The device is not approved by CSA for use in
mining.
WARNING:
Before daily use, test the sensitivity with a known concentration of the applicable gas
corresponding to 25 to 50% of the maximum concentration. The accuracy must be
within a range of 0 to +20% of the actual value. Perform a calibration to correct the
accuracy if necessary.
Only applies for class II certification. CSA standard C22.2 no. 152 does not contain
any requirements for class II hazard areas. Therefore this device was not tested for
class II by the CSA. The sensor may become blocked and not measure the gas
correctly or not warn the user that gas measurement is not possible.
WARNING
CSA requirement: Measured values over the full scale value are displayed as an explosive concentration.
NOTICE
CSA requirement: a measurement suitability test must be conducted for flammable
gases.

WARNING
Before any measurements relevant to safety are made, check the adjustment with a
bump test, adjust if necessary and check all alarm elements. If national regulations
apply, a bump test must be performed according to the national regulations. Faulty
adjustment may result in incorrect measuring results, with possible serious
consequences.

Operation
Check that the gas inlet opening on the device is not covered.
WARNING
Explosion hazard! To reduce the risk of flammable or explosive atmospheres igniting,
it is essential that the warning notices below are observed:
Fractions of catalytic poisons in the measuring gas (e.g. volatile silicon, sulphur,
heavy metal compounds or halogenated hydrocarbon) can damage the Cat Ex
sensor. If the CatEx sensor can no longer be calibrated to the target concentration,
the sensor must be replaced.

If a measuring range is exceeded or a negative drift occurs, the following displays
are shown instead of the measured value display:

Concentration pre-alarm A1
The alarm is indicated by an intermittent alarm message:
Display »A1« and measured value alternating: not for O

below the alarm setpoint A1.
In the case of A1 a single tone is audible and the alarm LED flashes.
Acknowledging the 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:
