Description
3.2 Intended use
Dräger X-am 3500/8000 is a portable gas detector for clearance measurements
and for the continuous monitoring of the concentration of several gases in ambient
air in the workplace and in explosion-hazard areas.
The X-am 3500 allows measuring up to 4 gases in accordance with the
DrägerSensors (XXS O
2, XXS H2S LC, XXS CO LC, XXS NO2, XXS SO2 and
CatEx 125 PR) which are installed. The gas detector can be operated in pump
mode or in diffusion mode.
X-am 8000 can measure up to 7 gasses in accordance with the installed
DrägerSensors (EC, IR, CatEx, PID). The gas detector can be operated in pump
mode (if it is equipped with a pump) or in diffusion mode.
3.3 Limitations on use
The gas detector is not suitable for measuring process gasses.
Operation of the gas detector in the charging cradle in a vehicle is only permitted
under the following conditions:
– Acoustic signalling must be deactivated (with the help of the PC software CC-
Vision).
3.4 Approvals
A copy of the rating plate and the declaration of conformity are provided in the
enclosed supplementary documentation (order no. 90 33 655).
CSA-specific information:
Only the combustible gas portion of this instrument has been tested for measuring
accuracy.
Radio approval (X-am 8000 only):
The information for radio approval can be viewed in the menu. For further
information, see the following chapter: "Opening information", page 24.
3.5 Label
The energy supply label has a mark for a service label. Here, a maximum of one
service label and one year-point label may be attached one on top of the other.
Further labels, conductive labels or labels with conductive material or parts can
have a negative effect on inductive charging.
The rating plate on the gas detector must not be concealed.
