6.3.4 Functional testing
WARNING
Failure of the product to meet any of the standards or parameters during
functional testing, or any visible signs of damage, indicates a possible
system fault.
► Do not use the product and report the fault to trained maintenance
personnel or contact Dräger.
6.3.4.1 Electronic monitoring system testing
If the system fails to operate as described in this section or if any fault
indication appears, stop testing. Investigate and repair the fault before
proceeding (see section 5 for remedy information).
The functional test is carried during preparation for use and periodic or
post-repair testing of the product. To test only the electronic monitoring
system, start the test at step 1. To carry out a full functional test, prepare
the breathing apparatus as detailed in preparation for use (see section 4.1)
and start the test at step 2.
1. Press the left-hand button.
– The self-test and start-up sequences run and the system adopts
the active mode.
2. Allow the screen to deactivate.
3. Press the left-hand or right-hand button.
– The screen activates.
4. Press the manual alarm button.
– The full alarm activates (see section 4.2.1.2) with the manual
distress alarm symbol on screen.
5. Cancel the alarm.
– Key configuration. Remove and refit the key.
– Button configuration. Simultaneously hold the left-hand and right-
hand buttons until the alarm stops.
6. Remove the key.
7. Immobilize the Connect ECU UI module.
– After 27 to 30 seconds, the pre-alarm activates (see
section 4.2.1.2).
8. Move the Connect ECU UI module to cancel the alarm.
9. Immobilize the Connect ECU UI module again and ignore the pre-
alarm.

6.3.4.2 High-pressure leak test
1. Press the reset button of the lung demand valve.
2. Start the leak test.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions, and observe the following:
– Leak test pass . The system automatically progresses to the next
stage.
– Leak test fail . Close the cylinder valve, fully vent the system, and
investigate and repair the leak (see section 5).
– Timed out . On-screen instructions not carried out within the
permitted time. Recommence the test.
– Cylinder pressure too low . Recommence the test using a
cylinder that has a pressure above the minimum leak test start
pressure.
The breathing apparatus cylinder pressure must be above the
minimum leak test start pressure of 165 bar.
– Leak test error . The error is due to system pressure failing to
stabilize sufficiently within the permitted time. Re-attempt the test.
If the error re-occurs, do not use the breathing apparatus and
contact service personnel or Dräger.
6.3.5 Charging a compressed air cylinder
WARNING
Air quality for compressed air cylinders must meet the requirements for
breathable air according to EN 12021.
