Tests and Approvals
Intended operating area and operating conditions
Hazardous areas classified by zones
The device is intended for use in explosion-hazard areas or mines, in which firedamp
classified by zone 0, zone 1 or zone 2 may occur. It is determined 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. For zone 0, the temperature class is limited to
T3.
If used in mines, the device is only to be used in areas known to have a low risk of
mechanical impact.
Hazardous areas classified by divisions
This device is intended to be used in hazardous areas or mines susceptible to firedamp
classified as Class I & II, Div. 1 or Div. 2 within a temperature range of -20 °C to +50 °C
and where gases or dusts of groups A, B, C, D and temperature class T3 or T4
(depending on battery pack and batteries) may be present.
For applications in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association), the
following should be observed:
Only the performance of the detector part of this instrument for flammable gases has
been tested. The instrument has not been approved for use in mines by the CSA.
WARNING:
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 % O2).

Tests and Approvals
WARNING
High off-scale readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
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.


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 25
to page 28, must be taken.
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.
 In case of measurements in oxygen-deficient atmosphere (<8 vol. % O2) the CatEx
sensor may show incorrect displays; in this case, a reliable measurement with a
CatEx sensor is not possible.
 In an oxygen enriched atmosphere (>21 vol. % O2), the explosion protection cannot be guaranteed; remove instrument from the Ex area.
 High values outside the display area indicate an explosive concentration where applicable.
13
Operation
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:
»
« (concentration too high) or
»
« (measuring range not reached) or
»
« (blocking alarm).


Excess concentrations of flammable materials can lead to a lack of oxygen.
At O2 concentrations below 8 Vol.-%, on the Ex channel instead of the measured
value a fault is displayed with »
« if the measured value is below the pre-alarm
threshold and the device is equipped with an O2 sensor (not with setting CH4 with
measuring range >100 %LEL).
In the event of an alarm, the corresponding displays, including the visual, audible and
vibration alarms, are activated – see “Identifying Alarms” on page 18.
NOTICE
Special states in which there is no measuring operation (quick menu, calibration
menu, warm-up of sensors, password input) are indicated by a visual signal (slow
flashing of the alarm LED
).
If the measuring range is exceeded significantly on the CatEx channel (very high
concentration of flammable materials), a blocking alarm is triggered. This CatEx
blocking alarm can be acknowledged manually by switching the device off and back on
again in fresh air.
In configuration setting CH4 with measuring range 100 vol. %, no blocking alarm is
triggered as the heat conductance measurement principle is used.
14
Operation
CAUTION
The measuring range 0 to 100 vol. % CH4 is not suitable for monitoring explosive
mixtures in the measuring range from 0 to 100%LEL.
WARNING
When using a CatEx sensor in the Dräger X-am 5000, a calibration of zero point and
sensitivity must be carried out after an impact load that results in a fresh air display
not equal to zero.

The required waiting time when flushing the hose probe:
Before 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 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 phase depends on various factors, e.g., type and concentration of the
gas or vapor to be measured, material, length, diameter, and age of the sampling
hose or probe. Generally, when using a sampling hose (new, dry, clean), a typical
flushing time of approx. 3 seconds is required for each meter. This flushing time applies in addition to the sensor response time (see the Instructions for Use of the gas
measuring device used).
Example:
In the case of a sampling hose with a length of 10 m, the flushing time is approx.
30 seconds and the sensor response time is in addition approx. 60 seconds. Therefore, the total time before reading the gas measuring device is approx. 90 seconds.
The flow rate alarm is delayed by 10 to 30 seconds depending on the length of the
hose.
