Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance intervals The device should be inspected and maintained by suitably qualified persons every six months (consult: EN 50073 – Guide for the selection, installation, use and maintenance of apparatus for the detection and measurement of combustible gases or oxygen, EN 45544-4 – Electrical apparatus used for the direct detection and direct concentration measurement of toxic gases and vapours - Part 4: Guide for selection, installation, use and maintenance and national regulations).
Maintenance Carrying Out the Function Test with Gas (Bump Test) Manual implementation without the documentation of result in the device memory Prepare a test gas cylinder, the volume 0.5 L/min flow must be 0.5 L/min and the gas concentration must be higher than the alarm setpoint concentration to be tested.
Maintenance Menu implementation with the documen- tation of results in the device memory The setting whether the bump test is to be carried out manually or automatically is made using the PC software Dräger CC Vision. Setting on delivery: automatic bump test. Prepare a test gas cylinder, the volume flow must be 0.5 L/min and the gas concentration must be higher than the...
