Identifying Alarms; Concentration Pre-Alarm A1; Concentration Main Alarm A2 - Dräger X-AM 5000 Technical Manual

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 the pre-alarm:
•
Press the key. Only the audible alarm and the vibration alarm are switched off.
OK

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.
For O :» A1 « and measured value alternating = oxygen deficiency
2
» A2 « and measured value alternating = oxygen surplus
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.
OK
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.
