Operation
4.3 Signalling concept
4.3.1 Acoustic operation signal
A periodic acoustic signal indicates that the device is functional. The acoustic
operation signal can be deactivated. For further information, see the following
chapter: "Activating silent mode", page 33
4.3.2 Visual operation signal
A periodic pulse (increasing and decreasing intensity) of the green LED indicates:
– Monitoring, confined space entry, leak search or benzene/pre-tube
measurement application active
– There is no device or channel error, no gas alarm and no special state
4.3.3 Visual operation signal with activated D-Light
An activated D-Light feature allows the user to also check and indicate compliance
with certain settings:
– Evaluation of bump test intervals activated and complied with (factory setting) or
evaluation of the calibration intervals active and complied with
– Usage interval complied with
The D-Light feature can be activated using the Dräger CC-Vision PC software.
Signalling visually corresponds to the operating signal.
If one of the conditions listed is not fulfilled and the D-Light is activated, the greed
LED will switch on briefly at regular intervals (short flash approx. every 60 s) instead
of pulsing periodically.
