Maintenance Maintenance Maintenance intervals The device should be inspected and maintained by suitably qualified persons every six months (consult: EN 60079-29-2 – Gas measuring device - Selection, installation, use and maintenance of apparatus for the measurement of combustible gases or oxygen, EN 45544-4 –...
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 flow must be 0.5 L/min and the gas con- 0.5 L/min centration must be higher than the alarm setpoint concentration to be tested.
Maintenance Menu implementation with the docu- men-tation of results in the device memory The "Quick bump test" or the "Extended bump test" is selected using the Dräger CC Vision PC software. The "Quick bump test" checks whether the gas concentration has exceeded the Alarm 1 threshold (with oxy- gen, the check is whether the concentration has fallen below the Alarm 1 threshold).

Maintenance — The current gas concentration values and the special symbol » « (for bump test) flash. ● Press the key to start the function test with gas. ● Open the test gas cylinder valve to let test gas flow over the sensor. —...
Page 32
Maintenance For the automatic bump test: After the set bump test concentration is reached: — The display containing the current gas concentration changes with the display » OK «. — The bump test that was carried out is do- cumented with the result and date in the device memory.
Maintenance Automatic implementation with the Bump Test Station Prerequisite: The device must first be configured for the automatic function test with gas (bump test) using the PC software "CC Vision". — Activate the device for the automatic function test. — Composition of test gas (mixed gas) – standard on delivery: 50 ppm CO, 15 ppm H S, 2.5 vol.
Page 34
Maintenance ● Remove the device from the Bump Test Station. — If the concentration values have now fal- len under the A1 alarm setpoints, the de- vice returns to the measuring mode. — If during the function test no alarm occurs and the current measured values do not reach the set target concentration, the er- ror alarm is activated to indicate failure.
