Monitoring Monitoring without pump (diffusion)
Monitoring with pump (with pump adapter)
Capture range The capture range refers to a measured value range
within which minor variations in measured values (such
as signal noise, variations in concentration) do not cause
variations in the display. Measured values outside the
capture range will be displayed with the actual measured
value.
Confined space entry
wizard
Measurement with pump and any accessories (e.g.
hose, probe) for clearance measurements of specific
areas (X-am 8000 only).
Leak search wizard Leak search measurement (X-am 8000 only)
Benzene/pre-tube wiz-
ard
Benzene/pre-tube measurement (X-am 8000 only)
Peak Peak value
Quick bump test Test for alarm triggering.
Extended bump test Test for accuracy and alarm triggering.
Special state If a special state is signalled, the user is not warned of
gas concentrations which may be dangerous.
The following device features are special states:
First set-up / configuration with the PC menu, prepara-
tion phase of the wizards, maintenance wizard bump test
and calibration, warm-up 1 of the sensors.
D-Light The D-Light feature allows the user to check and indicate
compliance with certain settings.
Physical sensors The CatEx, IR, and PID sensor types are designated as
physical sensors. There are also the electrochemical
sensors.
