Ensure you use the correct fixings to suit the wall. Once you have installed the back plate mount the F8104 in place and connect the power supply. It is important the unit is free from vibration during use. The F8104 Safe-Air Monitor requires a 230V/1ph/50Hz mains power supply.

3. Continuous Monitoring Display By tapping the calibration date screen, the instrument will then display the home screen. In the top right hand corner a countdown will commence for a commissioning delay during which time the sensor readings are stabilising and the alarms will be disabled.
3.1 Completing an oil test using a Dräger Impactor or tube The instrument displays the date and result from the last oil Impactor or tube test. To undertake a new test tap the result button. Choose between using a Dräger oil Impactor or Dräger chemical reagent tube in the test port.
To change the test standard, from the home screen, press on the current standard. Enter user log in password “installer”. The standards menu will then display the available test standards. As well as medical standards the F8104 can also test breathing-air to EN12021:2014. This standard different requirements depending if you are testing an airline system <40 bar;...
Enter user log in password “installer”. The F8104 has 2 configurable alarms, a main and pre alarm. Both of the configurations pages are located in the settings pages.

If Power Fail is selected, then in the event of a failure of the mains power supply, it will activate the alarm. To function correctly the F8104 requires a minimum 2 barg supply pressure (10 barg maximum). In the event the supply pressure falls below 2 barg, the unit will activate its alarm.
Page 14
An Alarm delay (in seconds) may be set, between the sensor values exceeding their minimum/maximum values and when the alarms will be triggered. A commissioning delay may be set to prevent the unit activating the alarms when the instrument is first turned on, allowing time for the sensors to acclimatise.
20mA parameters, for the sensors need to be set to match the external device(s). It is also possible to program 4-20mA outputs for 2 of the F8104 sensors. These can be used if you need remote indication for these sensor values.

4.5 Sensors The order in which sensors are displayed on the home screen can be set, you can also choose which sensors you want to be displayed. Any changes need to be saved to take effect.

Appendix 2 - Reading the Dräger Oil Impactor and Oil Chemical Reagent Tube Oil Impactor The Oil Impactor’s protective seal must be kept in place for the duration of the test and only removed after the test has been completed. With a standard measurement range of 0.1 to 1.0 mg/m the Impactor has a limit of detection of 0.05 mg/m...

Air Quality Testing – Why? Compressed air for breathing normally originates from a compressor system installed or operating at the place of use and there are various factors that can affect the quality and safety of this air. The air intake to the compressor can ingest airborne contamination from local processes and vehicle exhaust fumes which are not removed by standard breathing air filtration.
