Polytron 3000 is designed for connection to the Dräger Polytron, Regard, QuadGard or Unigard central units. The Polytron 3000 transmitter may also be connected to other central units if the fol- lowing conditions are met: — Industrial standard 4 to 20 mA input signal —...
In explosion-hazard areas: Observe the national regulations concerning electrical equipment in explosion-hazard areas. The Dräger Polytron 3000 transmitter consists of two main components: — Dräger docking station This can be pre-installed anywhere and contains the electrical installation compo- nents.
Installing the transmitter Installing the docking station — If the transmitter is to be installed in a Zone 2 explosion-hazard area, select a lo- cation with low exposure to mechanical risk. — Docking station is installed vertically (transmitter with sensor facing down) in an area with low vibrations and stable temperatures –...
Shorten the shield (if installed) to prevent short-circuiting: ● Connect cable 1 2-pin terminal for Polytron 3000 – check polarity (marking in the docking station). Cut excess wires short or 2 Fasten in 4-pin terminal. 1 Slide connecting terminal back into holder.
Installing the transmitter Installing the transmitter in areas subject to explosion hazards of zone 0 or zone 1 ● Install a safety barrier with the appropriate explosion protection approval (catego- ry 1, 2 or Div. 1) between the transmitter and the control unit. ) ≤...

2 Open the front cover of the service port with an Allen key by turning anticlockwise (approx. 60 Attention: Polytron Use only a 5 mm Allen key without a ball head. 3 Only use the DrägerSensor specified on the sticker on the Polytron 3000 meas- uring unit. ● Remove sensor from packaging. ●...
— A current between 4 and 20 mA flows through the transmitter during normal op- eration. This current is proportional to the gas concentration. — Polytron 3000 uses various current values to indicate the operating status of the transmitter: Current...
Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance intervals Before starting operation: ● Check the calibration, see page 14. ● Check the transmission of signals to the control unit and the triggering of alarms. At regular intervals, to be defined by the person responsible for the gas warning installation: ●...
Attention! Use only a 5 mm Allen key without a ball head. Note: The Dräger Polytron 3000 does not support the storage of calibration data in the sensor data base. Measuring / maintenance mode 1 Maintenance switch with two positions.

Maintenance Output for calibration 4 Connect voltmeter (mV setting, Ri > 10 M) to test points TP1 and TP2 (required for the version without display). Caution: – — For operation in explosion-hazard areas: Only use intrinsically safe voltmeters with electrical parameters to the fol- lowing specifications: ) 7.6 V;...
Maintenance Calibrating the zero point For all sensors except oxygen sensor: The zero point can be calibrated without the use of nitrogen (zero gas) when the ambient air is free from measuring gas and other interfering gases. Alternatively: Polytron 1 Use the calibration adapter. ●...
