Operation FCC: The radio license information can be found in the information on the device. For further information see: "Opening device information", page 15. GPL (General Public License) Depending on their configuration, Dräger products which use software use Open Source software. This is regularly subject to special licensing conditions which take precedence in their scope.
Operation Symbol Explanation ® (flashing) Bluetooth connection lost ® Bluetooth connection established (dashes flashing) Gas detector ready for coupling Battery state of charge Signalling concept 4.2.1 Acoustic operation signal A periodic acoustic signal indicates that the device is functional. The acoustic operation signal can be deactivated using the Dräger CC-Vision PC software.
Operation Switch the gas detector on or off 4.3.1 Switching on the gas detector WARNING Incorrect device feature/settings! Incorrect device features/settings may mean that alarms and dangers are not detected. ► Before every use, check whether the display elements, the alarm features and information are displayed correctly.
Operation Preparations for operation WARNING Serious damage to health An incorrect calibration can lead to incorrect measured values, which may result in serious damage to health. ► Before performing safety-relevant measurements, check the calibration by means of a bump test, adjust as necessary, and check all alarm elements. If national regulations exist, the bump test must be performed in accordance with these regulations.
Operation WARNING Risk of explosion The use of an unsuitable smartphone in an explosion-hazard area may lead to the ignition of flammable or explosive atmospheres. ► The smartphone must be suitable and approved for use in explosion-hazard areas. ® The Bluetooth feature is not part of the technical suitability test and may only be used in countries for which approval is available.

Operation WARNING Incorrect measured values! Only for diffusion mode: If water seals the gas inlets on the gas detector (e.g. in heavy rain or if the gas detector is submerged in water), incorrect measured values may be returned. ► With the display facing downward, shake the gas detector to remove the water. WARNING Incorrect measured values! A different reading may be shown if the gas detector experiences a considerable...
Operation 4.6.1 Monitoring measuring mode In normal measuring mode, the measured values are displayed for each measured gas. The operating signal sounds at regular intervals (configurable), and the green LED flashes (e.g. visual operating signal or D-light feature). If a measuring range is exceeded or not reached, the respective symbol is displayed instead of the measured value.
Troubleshooting Possible features: – Fresh air calibration – Bump test – Delete peak values ® – Bluetooth connection To open the Quick menu: 1. Press 3x in measuring mode. 2. Press to scroll through the available features. 3. Press to call the selected feature. Activating silent mode Silent mode for the gas detector can be permanently activated using the Dräger CC-Vision PC software.

Maintenance For inspection and maintenance, see e.g.: – EN/IEC 60079-29-2 – Gas detectors - Selection, installation, use and maintenance of detectors for flammable gases and 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 –...
Maintenance – A bump test can only be carried out if at least one sensor has been configured for the bump test with the Dräger CC-Vision PC software (does not apply to bump test with X-dock). – The gas detector is switched on and warm-up phase 1 is complete. –...
Maintenance X-am 2800 bump test with CC-Vision and Bump Test Station: Alarm triggered approx. 3 s after A1 threshold exceeded, if error already present. The bump test only starts from measuring mode. Not from a menu or similar. Prerequisites – The gas detector is activated for the automatic bump test with the Dräger CC- Vision PC software.
Maintenance a. Connect the test gas cylinder to the calibration adapter and open the valve on the test gas cylinder so that the calibration adapter is purged with test gas. b. Insert the switched-on gas detector into the calibration adapter and press it down until it locks into place.
Maintenance b. Enter and confirm the password. c. Select and confirm fresh air calibration All measurement channels involved in the fresh air calibration flash. 3. Press to start fresh air calibration manually. All measurement channels involved in the fresh air calibration flash. 4.
Maintenance 2. Connect the hose to the second connector on the calibration adapter to direct the test gas to an exhaust or outside. 3. Insert the switched-on gas detector into the calibration adapter and press it down until it locks into place. 4.
Maintenance Dräger recommends selecting a test concentration in the middle of the respective measuring range or close to the expected measured value. WARNING Health hazard from test gas Breathing in of test gas can be harmful to health or lead to death. ►...
Maintenance The buffer battery can be replaced if necessary. WARNING Risk of explosion To reduce the risk of ignition of a flammable or explosive atmosphere, observe the following: ► Do not charge or replace the battery underground or in explosion-hazard areas. ►...

Maintenance 1. Position the instrument on an even and level surface. 2. When attaching the charging modules, disconnect the power pack from the mains supply. 3. Turn the slit of the lock to the horizontal position with a screwdriver or coin. 4.
The power pack for the X-am 2500/5000/5100/5600 gas detectors (order no. 8318704) must not be used for the X-am 2800, as the seal cannot ensure the IP protection for the X-am 2800 and was not approved together with the X-am 2800.

Maintenance a. Place the special tool on the trough. Using the special tool, carefully lift out the EC sensor in question. Do not bend the sensor pins. b. Only if necessary: Exchange the white sensor holder. c. Have the sensor type and code (marked on the new sensor) as well as the sensor position at hand for the new sensor inauguration.
Configuration d. Carefully insert the new sensor. e. Carefully plug the flexstrip into the bushing on the options board. f. Close the sensor damper and make sure that it is positioned correctly. 7. Reattach the front and rear housing cradles and makes sure that the seals and sensor dampers are in the correct positions.
