For Your Safety
General safety statements
 Before using this product, carefully read the associated Instructions for Use. This
document does not replace the Instructions for Use.
Definitions of alert icons

The following alert icons are used in this document to provide and highlight areas of the
associated text that require a greater awareness by the user. A definition of the
meaning of each icon is as follows:
WARNING
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death
or serious injury.
CAUTION
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
physical injury, or damage to the product or environment. It may also be used to alert
against unsafe practices.
NOTICE
Indicates additional information on how to use the product.
Intended Use

gas detector; the calibration cradle must not be used in the Ex zone.
Intended operating area and operating conditions

Areas subject to explosion hazards, classified by zones (MQG 01**)
The instrument is intended for the use in explosion-hazard areas of Zone 0, Zone 1 or
Zone 2 or in mines at risk due to fire damp. It is intended for use within a temperature
range of –20 °C to +50 °C, and for areas in which gases of explosion groups IIA, IIB or
IIC and temperature class T3 or T4 (depending on the batteries and rechargeable
battery) may be present. If used in mines, the instrument is only to be used in areas
known to have a low risk of mechanical impact.
Areas subject to explosion hazards, classified by divisions

The instrument is intended for use in explosion-hazard areas according to Class I&II,
Div. 1 or Div. 2 within a temperature range of –20 °C to +50 °C, and for areas where
gases or dusts of groups A, B, C, D, E, F, G and temperature class T3 or T4 may be
present (depending on the rechargeable battery and batteries).

from –20 °C to +50 °C
and for gases of temperature class T3 or T4 (depending on the batteries and
rechargeable battery).
For applications in accordance with CSA (Canadian Standards Association), the

following should be observed:
Only the performance of the detector part of this instrument for flammable gases has
been tested. The instrument has not been approved for use in mines by the CSA.
WARNING
Only applicable to Class II certification. CSA Std. C22.2 No 152 does not have any
requirement for Class II hazardous locations and therefore this device has not been
performance tested by CSA for Class II. The sensor may become clogged and not
detect gas properly or warn the user of its inability to detect gas.

Safety instructions
WARNING
To reduce the danger of explosion, do not mix new batteries with old batteries and do
not mix batteries made by different manufacturers.
WARNING
Always disconnect the instrument from the power pack before carrying out any
maintenance operations.
WARNING
Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
CAUTION
Not tested in an oxygen-enriched atmosphere (>21 % O2).
CAUTION
Only the combustible gas detection portion of this instrument has been assessed by
CSA for performance. The instrument is not classified by CSA for use in mines.
WARNING
CSA requirement: A sensitivity test should be conducted before each use at a
concentration between 25 and 50 % of the maximum concentration of the measured
gas. The accuracy here must be between 0 and +20 % of the actual value. The
accuracy can be corrected via calibration.
WARNING
High off-scale readings may indicate an explosive concentration.
WARNING
Only use power packs ABT 0100 (83 22 237), HBT 0000 (83 18 704) or HBT 0100
(83 22 244). See marking on power pack for approved batteries and related
temperature class.
WARNING
Increased hydrogen concentrations within the measuring range of the Dräger Sensor
XXS H2 HC may result in false alarms due to the additive effect on the Dräger
sensors XXS H2S, and XXS CO, XXS H2S (LC) and XXS CO (LC) as well as due to
the negative effect on the Dräger Sensor XXS O2.

Operation with pump
Observe the following when performing measurements using the pump
 Perform visual inspection of the probe, if necessary.
 Wait for the flushing time to end.
Flush the Dräger sampling hose or Dräger probes prior to each measurement with
the air sample to be measured.
The flushing phase is necessary to minimize or eliminate any effects associated with
the use of a sampling hose or a probe, e.g. memory effects, dead volume.
The duration of the flushing phase depends on factors such as type and concentration
of the gas or vapour to be measured, material, length, diameter and age of the
sampling hose or probe. As a rule of thumb, a typical flushing time of 3 seconds per
metre can be assumed for a sampling hose (factory-new, dry, clean). This flushing time
applies in addition to the sensor response time (see instructions for use of the gas
detector used).
Example:
The flushing time for a 10 m hose is approx. 30 seconds. The sensor response time is
approx. 60 seconds in addition. The overall time before reading the gas detector
therefore is approx. 90 seconds.
The flow alarm is delayed by 10 to 30 seconds, depending on the hose length.

H2 added signal
WARNING
After activating or deactivating the H2 added signal check the set alarm thresholds.
WARNING
In the case of a manual function test the effect of the H2 added signal must be taken
into account accordingly.
The functionality of the H2 added signal is only supported provided a Dräger
Sensor XXS H2 HC is operated in conjunction with a Dräger Sensor DUAL IR Ex/CO2
or a Dräger Sensor IR Ex sensor in the Dräger X-am 5600. Both units must be set to
LEL.
An added signal can be activated and deactivated via the Dräger CC-Vision PC
software.
If the H2 added signal feature is activated, ch4+ appears in the measured value display.
By activating the H2 added signal, the LEL gas concentration of the activated Dräger
Sensor XXS H2 HC (68 12 025) is added to the LEL gas concentration of the activated
Dräger Sensor DUAL IR Ex/CO2 (68 11 960) or of the activated Dräger Sensor IR Ex
(68 12 180) and shown on the display at the position of the IR Ex display.
NOTICE
Maintain the set alarm thresholds as they are to ensure that in the presence of
hydrogen (H2) the alarm of the IR Ex Channel is triggered earlier if required.
NOTICE
A potentially activated H2 added signal is automatically temporarily deactivated
during a manual calibration, a PC calibration or an automatic Bump Test for the
relevant duration.
39
ToxicTwins
When the ToxicTwins feature is activated, the measuring channels of the XXS CO
sensor and the XXS HCN sensor are offset against each other in such a manner that
the device issues an alarm before the respective A1 alarm threshold is reached if both
gases are detected at the same time.
Prerequisites:
— The XXS CO and XXS HCN sensors are installed.
— The ToxicTwins feature is activated (using the Dräger CC-Vision PC software).
If the ToxicTwins feature is activated, HCN+ appears in the measured value display.
CO H2 compensation
Carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H2) can occur simultaneously in workplaces in
the steel industry, refineries, sewage works, etc. Hydrogen affects the CO signal in
ordinary commercially available sensors, which leads to false alarms. The XXS CO
H2-CP sensor uses two sensing electrodes. One of these electrodes measures CO and
H2, the other one measures only H2. The difference between the two signals is
calculated, so that only the CO value will be displayed. For example, a hydrogen
concentration of 1000 ppm (2.5 %LEL) will only result in a maximum of 15 ppm CO
being displayed, but the CO alarm will not be triggered.
This feature is automatically available and activated if the XXS CO H2-CP sensor is
installed. Deactivation is not possible.
Prerequisites:
— XXS CO H2-CP sensor is installed.
If this feature is used, CO+ appears in the measured value display.

Carry out manual bump test
WARNING
In the case of a manual function test the effect of the H2 added signal must be taken
into account accordingly.
NOTICE
A potentially activated H2 added signal is automatically temporarily deactivated during a
manual calibration, a PC calibration or an automatic Bump Test for the relevant duration.

Do not charge underground or in explosion-hazard areas! Danger of explosion!
The chargers are not designed in accordance with the regulations for firedamp and
explosion protection.
Charge the type HBT 0000 or HBT 0100 power pack using the relevant Dräger
charger. Charge NiMH rechargeable batteries for battery holder ABT 0100 in
accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Ambient temperature during the
charge process: 0 to +40 °C. See marking on power pack for approved batteries and
related temperature class.
Even if the instrument is not used, we recommend that you store the instrument in the
charger (Charging module X-am 1/2/5000, order no. 83 18 639)!
To maintain the lifetime of the batteries, charging is temperature controlled and only
performed in a temperature range of 5 to 35 °C.
When this temperature range is left, the charging process is automatically interrupted
and automatically continued after the temperature range has been reached again.
The charging time is typically 4 hours.
A new NiMH power pack reaches its full capacity after three complete charging/
discharging cycles. Never store the instrument for extended periods without being
connected to a power source (maximum of 2 months) because the internal buffer
battery will drain.
Charging with the multiple charging station

— A maximum of 20 instruments can be charged at the same time on the power pack
(order no. 83 18 805) of the multiple charging station.
 When attaching the charging modules, disconnect the power pack from the mains
supply!
59
Attaching charging modules
1 Turn the slots of the interlock into a horizontal position by using a screwdriver or
coin.
2 Insert the projecting tongue of the charging module (at the same time, current entry)
until it engages.
1 Close the interlock with a quarter turn (slot is positioned vertically).

 Attach additional charging modules in the same way.
— Always connect or disconnect the charging modules individually and not in groups
in order to prevent the charging station from becoming damaged. During
transportation, the power pack and the charging modules should also always be
handled individually and without inserted instruments.
 Position the instrument on an even and level surface.
 Connecting the power pack to the

mains.

If a fault occurs: 0
Remove the instrument from the 13 2

charging module and insert it again.
00833072_01_en.eps
If the fault still occurs, have the charging

module repaired.
It takes approx. 4 hours to fully charge an

empty rechargeable battery.
A short circuit of the charging contacts in the charging modules, e.g., by metallic
objects that have fallen in, does not result in damage to the charging station. It should,
however, be avoided due to possible heating hazards and incorrect displays on the
charging module.
60
In the event of a short circuit or if the power pack is overloaded:
3 The red "Overload" LED lights, and an audible alarm sounds.
— After the fault has been corrected, the alarm is switched off automatically and the
charging process is restarted.
— In the event of a power failure, the instruments already charged will be protected
from discharging.
Charging with charging module and plug-in power pack or vehicle charging
adapter
— When using the power pack (order no. 83 16 994), up to 5 instruments can be
charged at the same time, with power pack (order no. 83 15 635) up to 2 instruments.
— The power pack contained in the rechargeable battery and charging set (order
no. 83 18 785) is suitable for charging an instrument.
— When using the vehicle charging adapter (order no. 83 17 754) it is recommended
that you supply every charging module separately.
