Dräger X-am 2500 Portable Gas Monitor

Question 1

The Dräger X-am 2500 is a 4-in-1 gas detection device

Answer 1

The device accurately detects O2, LEL, CO, and H2S.

Question 2

The Dräger X-am 2500 instrument requires a 5-minute sensor warm-up period before the device can be calibrated and/or the peaks cleared.
While warming up, symbol is displayed in the upper right of the display screen.

Answer 2

True

Question 3

How to turn off device

Answer 3

Press and Hold both “OKon” and “+M“ buttons together for 3 sec

Question 4

How to charge

Answer 4

The Dräger X-am 2500 can ONLY be charged in the vehicle mounted charging dock located on all CFD apparatus.

Question 5

Battery Pre-Alarm

Answer 5

Battery pre-alarm activates when 20 minutes of battery life remains

Question 6

Charging takes approximately how many hours to complete

Answer 6

4

Question 7

Calibrating the Dräger X-am 2500

Answer 7

Fresh air calibration of the Dräger X-am 2500 sets the Oxygen channel to 20.9% by volume and the sensors to zero. Ensure calibration occurs in an area of clean air.

Question 8

How to calibrate

Answer 8

1. Press the blue “+M” (Quick Menu) button three times
2. Press “OKon” button to activate fresh air calibration
3. Press “OKon” button

Question 9

Bump Test

Answer 9

A Bump Test uses a small quantity of test gas over the instrument to warrant that it responds as it should trigger audible and visual alarms. A Bump Test is done at the beginning of every shift. All station X-Dock stations have two calibration bottles attached: one four gas blend with methane (daily bumps) and the other pentane (monthly calibrations). The Bump Test typically takes 60-90 seconds to complete and starts by inserting the Dräger X-am 2500 X Dock station.

Question 10

YELLOW with Caution Triangle

Answer 10

• Indicates that at least one of the tests could not be conducted
• The status LED flashes YELLOW
• Remove the instrument from the
  module and try the test again
• If the problem occurs again, contact
  HazTech

Question 11

Red with an X

Answer 11

• Review Error Message and rectify error if possible
• Repeat the test
• If a problem occurs again, contact
  HazTech

Question 12

Alarms

Answer 12

O2 Sensor- low level alarm (A1) 19.5% and high level alarm (A2) 23.5%
LEL Sensor- low level alarm (A1) 10% and high level alarm (A2) 20%
CO Sensor- low level alarm (A1) 25 ppm and high level alarm (A2) 50 ppm
H2S Sensor- low level alarm (A1) 10 ppm and high level alarm (A2) 15 ppm

Question 13

A1 Alarm - Low Level Alarm

Answer 13

“A1” alarm sounds if the concentration amount is higher than normal, but does not constitute an acute hazard

Question 14

A2 Alarm - High-Level Alarm

Answer 14

“A2” alarm signals danger of death – leave the danger zone IMMEDIATELY!
- Alarm CANNOT be acknowledged until air quality improves to the below the high alarm level

Question 15

Over-Range Alarm

Answer 15

Indicates the ambient air contains concentrations exceeding the measuring range of the sensor used
- The over-range symbol alternates in the display with an “A2” Main Alarm symbol
* Leave the danger zone IMMEDIATELY!
* An “A2” alarm CANNOT be acknowledged

Question 16

Under-range Alarm

Answer 16

Indicates the measuring range is not reached
- The Under-range symbol is shown in the respective measuring field and indicates that the measured value is negative
- This can occur if a fresh air calibration is being carried out in a range in which the concentrations are already present. Perform a fresh air calibration immediately in an area of fresh air
- An “Under-range” alarm CANNOT be acknowledged

Question 17

Error Code

Answer 17

• An “X” symbol in the top right of the display indicates an error
• Press “OKon” for 3 sec; an error code will be displayed
• If an error code cannot be cleared by pressing the “+M” button, call HazTech to report the error code
