Approved Models of the Multi-PID 2 This manual provides operational information for all models of the Multi-PID 2. The Multi-PID 2 is intrinsically safe and approved for use in hazardous locations. Refer to the Notices and Warnings section of this manual for details of each approval.
The Multi-PID 2 automatically displays and can record these concen- trations. In the TVOC mode the Multi-PID 2 does not distinguish between individual compounds. The reading displayed represents the total concentration of all pho- toionizable chemicals present in the sample.

Multi-PID 2 is turned off. A pump continuously pulls the air under test through the Multi-PID 2’s PID. The Multi-PID 2 converts the concentration of photoionizable compounds in the sample into an electrical signal. The microproces-...
Multi-PID 2 would display its concentration directly. The Multi-PID 2 responds more or less readily to other chemicals than it does to isobutylene. Because it has a medium sensitivity to isobuty- lene, this gas has been chosen as a reliable means of reporting an average concentration of total ionizable compounds present.
Introduction Unpacking Instrument Remove the Multi-PID 2 from its shipping box. The following accesso- ries are included with the Multi-PID 2: 1. Sample Probe 2. Instrument Manual 3. Multi-Tool 4. AC Adapter or AC Adapter with AC Line Cord 5. Wrist Strap 6.
The Multi-PID 2 may also be connected to a computer. The computer must be a Windows -based PC. Use the cable kit (Part No. 83 17 667) to connect the Multi-PID 2 to the computer. Stored datas are evaluated using the Dräger GasVision software (Part No.
Do not remove or recharge the battery pack in a hazardous location. danger of an explosion! To remove the battery pack: 1. If the Multi-PID 2 has been turned on, turn it off by pressing the ON/OFF key for five seconds and then releasing it. NOTE:...
Using the Multi-PID 2 Charging the Battery Pack NOTE: Only use the AC adapter specified for use with the Multi-PID 2. Using another AC adapter will result in damage to the battery pack, the Multi-PID 2 or the adapter itself.
Page 28
Leaving the AC adapter connected to the Multi-PID 2 will not harm the battery or the AC adapter in any way. If the Multi-PID 2 is to be left unused for an extended period of time, leave it connected to the AC adapter so that the battery will be fully charged and ready for opera- tion.
Multi-PID 2 will be reported on the display. Graphic Display The Multi-PID 2 uses an 8 line graphic display. The display will always be used for reporting detected concentration. In order to accommo- date the range of concentrations the Multi-PID 2 can detect, the meter reading will be reported using one of two resolutions.

The Multi-PID 2 updates the instantaneous concentration once every second. Following every update, the instantaneous concentration is compared to the REAL alarm level, and if exceeded, an alarm is triggered.

Pre-filters and Sample Collection Tubes Dräger Safety provides a variety of pre-filter tubes for the Multi-PID 2. The tubes are custom developed for Dräger Safety AG & Co., and address clean air calibration and humidity reduction to facilitate more accurate sampling.
Adjust the strap length as necessary. DC Power Cord The Multi-PID 2 can be connected to a car battery through the ciga- rette lighter with the DC power cord. While the Multi-PID 2 is connec- ted to the car battery, the Multi-PID 2 battery is being charged.
Connecting Accessories 11.7 eV UV Lamp General Information The Multi-PID 2 is equipped with a standard 10.6 eV UV lamp. An 11.7 eV UV lamp (Part No. 83 18 317) is available for special applica- tions. Install this lamp as outlined in Removing and Replacing the UV Lamp on page 80.

The " Passcode " function can be used to change the passcode as well as to activate or de-activate the menu function block. The " lock " function is used to prevent access to the Multi-PID 2’s sensitive options. Sensitive options are those which can affect the Multi-PID 2’s readings.
Multi-PID 2 was calibrated using that specific single compound. In situations where only a single pure compound is present in air, the Multi-PID 2 should be calibrated with a standard of that specific com- pound as span gas.

The " Download to PC " function starts the download of data from the Multi-PID 2 onto the PC. The Multi-PID 2 computer cable, Part No. 83 17 667, must be connected between the Multi-PID 2 and the PC before beginning the data download. The Dräger GasVision software must be installed and running on the PC prior to download.

(zero) signal is generated. This zero signal is stored by the micropro- cessor. The Multi-PID 2 is next exposed to span gas. This span gas signal is stored by the microprocessor. The microprocessor subtracts the zero signal from the span gas signal and divides the difference by the user- entered span gas concentration.
Routine Maintenance Calibration Introduction The Multi-PID 2 must be calibrated in order to display concentration in ppm units equivalent to the calibration gas. First, a supply of zero air, which contains no ionizable gases or vapors, is used to set the Multi-PID 2’s zero point.
Page 74
Routine Maintenance Compressed Gases Cylinders of compressed gas, such as calibration gas, must be hand- led with extreme care. For safety, the calibration gas cylinders must be secured before use. Please observe the following handling procedures: Mark each new regulator with its intended gas service and never use a regulator for more than one service.
Page 75
Adjust the delivery pressure and then open the regulator outlet valve. Calibration Gas Adequate ventilation must be provided when the Multi-PID 2 is being calibrated. If compound threshold limit values (TLV) are exceeded, you should use a gas bag for sampling and calibration.
4. Connect the adapter tubing to the regulator. 5. Check if the Multi-PID 2 is sucking in the gas pressure free, e.g. by means of a T-piece; paying attention the fact that the flow from the gas cylinder is higher than the inlet flow of the Multi-PID 2.

If the Multi-PID 2 is not used for long periods of time, recharge the battery for a few hours every 30 days to avoid loss of data. See Battery Charging on page 26 for instructions on charging the battery.
You must turn the instrument off before removing the lamp cover. 2. Remove the lamp housing cover. 3. Tilt the Multi-PID 2 slightly and remove the UV lamp. WARNING: Do not touch the wire grid inside the detector cell. Any dust or dirt in the detector cell can be blown out with a gentle jet of compressed air.
Figure 19 – Removing the UV Lamp NOTE: Do not force the lamp into the lamp holder. 5. Replace the lamp housing cover. Tighten the cover down. Do not over tighten. 6. Calibrate the Multi-PID 2 and then continue normal operation.
Page 82
Routine Maintenance Cleaning the UV Lamp Window During the course of normal operation, a film builds up on the window of the UV lamp. The rate at which the film develops depends on the type and concentration of the gases and vapors being sampled and results from the UV light interacting with them.
Page 83
Routine Maintenance To clean the UV lamp: 1. Remove the lamp as outlined in Removing and Replacing the UV Lamp on page 80. 2. Allow the lamp to cool to room temperature to avoid thermal shock, which could crack the window. 3.
PID 2 is used in a dusty or wet environment. You must replace the fil- ter if the Multi-PID 2 has been exposed to water. If you are sampling hot gases or vapors, condensation in the sample line may also affect the filter.

The following formula is used for calculation of response factors: Actual Concentration Response Factor Multi-PID 2 Response A response factor less than 1.0 indicates a compound response bet- ter than that of isobutylene. A response factor greater than 1.0 indica- tes a lower response than that of isobutylene.
