For Your Safety For Your Safety Strictly follow these Instructions for Use Any use of this gas transmitter requires full understanding of the information provided and strict adherence to the instructions given. The gas transmitter is only to be used for the purposes specified here. Maintenance Maintenance jobs may only be carried out by trained service personnel.
An analogue, 4 to 20 mA output signal is used as measuring value output. The Dräger PIR 3000 infrared gas transmitter is designed for use in rough ambient conditions and is suited for installation in hazardous areas of zones 1, 2, 21 and 22 according to the device categories 2G, 3G, 2D, 3D or Class I &...
Explosion-Protection Approvals Explosion-Protection Approvals The explosion-protection approvals are valid for use of the device in gas/vapour-air mixtures of combustible gases and vapours under atmospheric conditions. The explosion-protection approvals are not valid for use in oxygen-enriched atmospheres. Unauthorised opening of the enclosure invalidates the explosion-protection approval. —...
Installing the Gas Transmitter Only trained service personnel (e.g. of Dräger) may install the gas transmitter under observation of relevant regulations. Installation and commissioning are described in the "Dräger PIR 3000 Installation Instructions" which are supplied with the gas transmitter. Mounting Location The protecting effect of the gas transmitter depends on the selection of the mounting location.
Installing the Gas Transmitter The splash guard is held by a fixture provided with screw-thread, which is also used as calibration adapter. Make sure that the calibration adapter is correctly seated. To this end, manually tighten the calibration adapter to a point where the sealing line leaves a permanent mark on the splash guard.
Installing the Gas Transmitter Electrical Installation NOTICE If present: If the connector of the gas transmitter is not required, it must be removed prior to the electrical installation. To do so, cut the cables with a suitable tool directly in front of the connector, strip the insulation, and attach suitable ferrules. The entire wiring must correspond with applicable local regulations concerning the installation of electrical devices in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Installing the Gas Transmitter — The leads between central device and gas transmitter must have a sufficiently low resistance to ensure the correct supply voltage at the gas transmitter. The maximum resistance per core is calculated as follows: 2.5 x U –...
Installing the Gas Transmitter Commissioning The Dräger PIR 3000 infrared gas transmitter is preconfigured and ready for use after installation. Deactivate the alarm call to the central device to avoid false alarms. When the supply voltage is applied, the gas transmitter automatically performs a self check (10 seconds), then automatically uses the factory-preset calibration (see page 11) and gas category.
Zero gas and test gas are to be applied for functional check and calibration of the infrared gas transmitter Dräger PIR 3000. To this end, the gas is applied either with — the calibration adapter in connection with the splash guard (see page 5, part of the scope of delivery) or —...

(methane, propane, ethylene). The highest accuracy is achieved using test gas concentrations of 40 to 70 percent of the measurement span. The infrared gas transmitter Dräger PIR 3000 can also be used to measure other gases than mentioned above. For detailed information, refer to "Substitute Gas Calibration"...
Operational Characteristics Configuration of the Gas Transmitter via Magnetic Pin A magnetic pin can be used to change the settings of the Dräger PIR 3000 infrared gas transmitter (see "Accessories/Spare parts" on page 27) as follows: — Automatic zerosetting. — Manual zero calibration of the output signal.
Operational Characteristics Manual Zero Calibration of the Output Signal. Deactivate alarm activation of the central device. 1 Expose the gas transmitter to nitrogen, synthetic air, and/or fresh air via calibra- tion adapter and wait until measurement value stabilises. 2 Place the magnetic pin onto the transmitter surface area marked by the " "...
Operational Characteristics Manual Span Calibration of the Output Signal. The span calibration of the gas transmitter is only possible under the following conditions: — The last zero calibration of the device was less than one hour ago. — The span gas concentration is sufficiently high to effect a display on the device of at least approx.
Operational Characteristics Substitute Gas Calibration The infrared gas transmitter Dräger PIR 3000 can also be used to measure other gases and vapours. The following table shows the required information (see also "Calibration" on page 11). Measured gas CAS-No. Measuring range...
Operational Characteristics Checking the Signal Transmission, Checking the Alarm Trigger and Display- ing the Gas Category The gas transmitter can create an output signal of 80 % of the full scale value, even without exposure to test gas. This 80% signal can be used to —...
Operational Characteristics — This signal is maintained for 30 seconds. The gas transmitter will then switch back to normal operation. — The central device display now matches the output signal of the gas transmitter. Reactivate alarm activation of the central device. NOTICE Using the 80% signal to match central device and transmitter signal without test gas is no replacement for the span calibration of the gas warning system.

The gas transmitter changes to an output signal which displays the currently set gas category according to the following table: Gas category Display [%LEL] methane propane 10.4 ethylene 13.6 This signal is maintained for 30 seconds. Within this period of time, the magnetic pin can be placed upon the area marked by the "...
Maintenance Maintenance Regular intervals are to be determined for the following tasks by the persons responsible for the gas warning system while taking local regulations into account: Visual inspection to look for damage and contamination. Special attention is required for gas entrance to the gas transmitter. Anything that blocks the gas entrance to the transmitter, e.g.

Technical Data Cross Sensitivities The gas transmitter measures the concentration of hydrocarbons. Factory-preset calibration parameters are available for methane, propane and ethylene gases. However, other hydrocarbons can also be measured. The following text has examples of typical display values for some types of hydrocarbon, with the gas transmitter calibrated in the respectively stated gas category.
Description of Design Description of Design The Dräger PIR 3000 infrared gas transmitter is a gas transmitter designed to determine the concentration of gases and vapours in the ambient air. The principle of measurement is based on the concentration-dependent absorption of infrared radiation in measured gases.
