Dräger X-zone 5000 Dräger CC-Vision is used to configure the Dräger X-zone 5000. The current configuration can be read out and parameters for the following functions can be altered here: - Alarms, - Life signal, - Status signal, - Radio. Alarms Pattern Optional pattern, from which one can be selected, are held here. The corresponding pattern for the triggering device and the receiving devices are also indicated. If a sample is to be tested under Test Options, an alarm type must be selected and the Save and test button pressed. The test is ended by pressing the button again. After the Save and test button is pressed, the last sample selected is in each case the one used. Volume The alarms can be switched on and off and the volume changed and tested for operation here. The volume can be adjusted with the slide control. Pressing the Save and test button stores the new value and allows the test alarm signal to be heard. The test is ended by pressing the button again. After the Save and test button is pressed, the last volume level selected is in each case the one used.

Forwarding (triggering Dräger X-zone 5000)

Note A distinction is made between A1 and A2 alarm types and alarms due to equipment faults. A further distinction is made as to whether the alarm is acknowledged (confirmed) or not. Here it is possible to determine which alarms are to be forwarded from the triggering Dräger X-zone 5000 to the receiving units. Combination (receiving Dräger X-zone 5000)

Note A distinction is made between A1 and A2 alarm types and alarms due to equipment faults. A further distinction is made as to whether the alarm is acknowledged (confirmed) or not. Here it is possible to determine how the receiving Dräger X-zone 5000 should respond to forwarded alarms. The horn and the LEDs are used as the outputs for this. Alarm contact Here it is possible to determine how the alarm contact should respond to forwarded alarms (see also alarm types).

17

Life signal Settings The LED and horn function can be switched on or off here. When the function is switched on, the time interval (in seconds) can be set. Pattern A predefined sample can be selected here. Additionally, the length of the life signal in milliseconds can be displayed or changed. The volume can also be adjusted. Pressing the Save and test button stores the new value and allows a test life signal to be seen and heard. The test is ended by pressing the button again. After the Save and test button is pressed, the last parameters selected are in each case the ones used. Volume The life signal can be switched on and off and the volume changed and tested for operation here. The volume can be adjusted with the slide control. Pressing the Save and test button stores the new value and allows the test alarm signal to be heard. The test is ended by pressing the button again. After the Save and test button is pressed, the last volume level selected is in each case the one used. Status signal Volume The volume of the status signal can be changed here. The value can only be changed by means of the Send button on the program button bar on the unit. The status signal is used during a pump calibration, among other things.

Radio The radio settings display whether the radio mode is activated or not, the transmit power, which network number is set and what frequency is being used to transmit. The radio mode, the network number and the transmit power can be changed and can be transmitted to the unit by means of the Send button. The standard setting for the network number is 0, so that each unit will receive all the alarms. If different networks are to be set up so that they are not alarmed with respect to one another, the units must be provided with their own network numbers in each case. An alarm will only be forwarded between units with the same network numbers. Up to 255 different networks can be set up.

Note More detailed information on the radio mode and network numbers can be found in the Dräger X-zone 5000 Instructions for Use, in the chapter "Establishing a wireless connection".

18

Calibrating with Dräger CC-Vision The calibrate functions in Dräger CC-Vision can be accessed from the instrument window menu (also see chapter "The Instrument Window"). You can choose between two function groups: a) To calibrate several sensors which belong to one measuring

instrument, select: Calibrate sensor(s).

b) Should you prefer direct access to certain sensor, select: Sensor (Description of Sensor) - Calibrate.

b) Not possible with Pac Vision The various calibrating options can be selected under these function groups. Calibrating Options Depending on the functionality of the gas detection instrument, Dräger CC-Vision offers four calibrating options: Calibration Parameters (Dräger X-am 5000 only) - Warning following calibration interval timeout:

If this option is activated, a warning will be issued after a calibration interval has timed out at the instrument.

- Fault following calibration interval timeout: If this option is activated, a fault message will be issued with a delay after a calibration interval has timed out at the instrument. The sensor then switches to channel error and will no longer display a measurement value.

- delay to fault: Delay in days until the sensor switches to channel error.

- Activation of span calibration for CO compensation in the H2 sensor: This option is only available with the Dräger Sensor XXS CO H2-CP. In this case, the span calibration for the H2 compensation electrode is activated.

Calibration History Calibration results are saved in the calibration history. Calibration date, name of tester and the sensors are listed with their calibration results. The individual results of the calibration history can be accessed with the arrow keys. Zero Calibration For the zero calibration, sensors of a connected gas detection instrument are calibrated with so-called zero gas to the values that correspond to their exact display at 0% measured gas. Please observe: During zero calibration, the sensor that needs to be calibrated may be loaded only with zero gas and not with measurement gas, this also applies for the O2 sensor!

Notice Not possible with Pac Vision. Span Calibration For the span calibration, the sensors are calibrated to display the exact target value of the stipulated calibration gas. Before the span calibration of a sensor, a zero calibration must be carried out. To run a span calibration of the catalytic sensor (CAT Ex Sensor) with the thermal conductivity measuring method, you need CH4 measuring gas at a level that is not relevant to LEL. Fresh Air Cal Fresh Air Cal is used for ambient air calibration of the sensors. The ambient air must be free of measuring gases and any other disturbance variables. The span of the EC-O2 sensor is set to 20.9 Vol.%, the zero point of the CO2 sensor is set to 0.03 Vol.%, the zero point of all other sensors is set to 0. One Button Calibration The one button calibration is used to trigger the span calibration for all instrument sensors.

Notice Not possible with Pac Vision.

Calibration Gas Settings Select one of the calibration options (zero calibration, span calibration, Fresh Air Cal, one button calibration) to display a window with the calibration gas settings of the sensors.

19

Besides selecting the sensors to calibrate and the span gas concentrations, it is possible to make the following settings: Mixed Gas Activate this option when using mixed gas. Dräger CC-Vision will now calibrate all relevant sensors at the same time. The concentration curve of the selected sensors is displayed simultaneously. Automatic Valve Activate this option when using an automatic valve. You will not be prompted to expose the sensor to gas, nor to stop exposing the sensor to gas.

Notice The automatic valve can only be used with a gas detection instrument which is equipped with a pump. Expert Mode You will not be prompted to expose the sensor to gas, nor to stop exposing the sensor to gas. The minimum calibration time setting is not taken into account. Tolerance The measurement value can deviate for the minimum calibration time only by this tolerance value, otherwise a calibration is not possible. Minimum Calibration Time The permissible period is between 3 and 420 seconds. At the earliest, a calibration is possible after the set period has elapsed.

Important Notes on Calibration

CAUTION Danger to health! Never inhale calibration or test gas! Use commercially available calibration gas.

CAUTION Danger to health! To minimise the danger to health, select adequate span gas concentration.

Notice Observe date and time setting in the measuring instrument: Calibration is only possible when date and time are set correctly in the instrument.

Notice Before any calibration, the relevant sensor must have gone through a sufficient warm-up! Sufficient sensor warm-up time has passed when the Notice icon in the measuring instrument display winks out.

Notice Observe sequence: Always calibrate zero point before span. Always calibrate EC sensors first, then CAT-Ex sensors.

Notice Use non-condensing calibration gases.

Calibration Procedure

CAUTION Before you begin with the calibration, observe the safety advise and notes in "Important Notes on Calibration"!

20

First, one of the calibration options is selected from the instrument window menu, then the calibration gas settings are made. The calibration procedure is started by pressing the Start button in the instrument window. The measurement values for the time for all sensors selected before are now displayed in a diagram. The presentation of many selected sensors takes place one after the other except when using mixed gas. In addition to the signal course graph, for each sensor, there is a field that contains the set points and actual values as numerical value. Over it is the Confirmation control panel respectively. This field can be activated only when the minimum calibration time set before lapses (does not apply for expert mode). Activate the confirmation field only when the measured value is stable over a specific period. The OK button starts the calibration of the confirmed channels. The calibration of sensors is carried out and is displayed through corresponding messages. The message showing which sensors were calibrated successfully or where errors occurred is displayed.

Carry Out Gas Test The gas test is used to check the proper function of measuring instrument sensors. To this end, the sensors need to be loaded with test gas so that the gas concentration measured by the sensor can be compared with the test gas concentration. In Dräger CC-Vision, the function 'exposure to gas' can be accessed from the instrument window menu (also see chapter "The Instrument Window"). Select Gas Test. The data window for test gas settings which is now displayed has the same configuration and the same options as the window for the calibration gas settings (for more information, refer to chapter "Calibration Gas Settings").

Mobile Printer The Dräger Mobile Printer can be used to save the gas test results coming from a Dräger Bump Test Station. The menu entries can be used to load, display and save this data. When communicating, make sure that the Dräger Mobile Printer has either been connected to the corresponding external mains power supply or has been switched to battery operation!

Notice If you want to connect the Dräger Mobile Printer with a network, you need to use a compact ConLine V24 device server. Device Window (Mobile Printer List) - Add: A new Mobile Printer can be added here, and the Edit

dialog (see below) is called up. - Edit: The existing configuration of a Mobile Printer can be

edited here, and the Edit dialog (see below) is called up. However, the printer must be selected from the mobile printer list in advance.

- Delete: A Mobile Printer can be deleted here. However, the printer must be selected from the mobile printer list in advance.

- Read: The available data can be read here. If the data is saved in a file, the file name and the corresponding directory will be displayed. But the printer will also display the fact that no data is available, and that hence no data will be saved. The CC-Vision folder is used as default directory.

- Test: Communications check with Printer without Data Transfer. We recommend this test every time you install a new printer.

- DB Save: Instead of saving a file, the data is sent to a database, provided that one is available.

- Save & Close: The current Dräger Mobile Printer List is saved and the dialog is closed.

Dialog: Edit Instrument Data (Edit Mobile Printer) - Serial and part number are used to identify the instrument.

This data will be automatically corrected as soon as a line of communication is open.

- Interface: There are two ways of communicating with the printer. Either via RS232 (via USB interface) or via Ethernet (compact ConLine V24 device server).

- Interface Settings: If you want to use an RS232 interface, you need to select the printer baud rate and its COM port (verification via Windows device manager with "Dräger Mobile Printer") . The default baud rate is 115200 baud. If you are using an Ethernet interface to go through a network, you will need to assign an IP address for the compact device server (for more information, refer to "Network Configuration") and the port address, which has a standard setting of 3000.

Show Data Select File A file which was read out in the "Device Window (Mobile Printer List)" can be selected here. Format: "serialnumber_time_date.TXT".

Working with Dräger CC-Vision E-Cal To facilitate and automate the calibration of a large amount of gas detection instruments, Dräger offers a calibration station which can be equipped with up to 10 different calibration modules and a purge module. To this end, the Dräger CC-Vision E-Cal software version has an additional menu item called Autocalibration. In addition, a sequence of functions can be assigned to a configurable Go button, which is provided in this software version. For each E-Cal module, a measuring device button is displayed in toolbar. The Dräger CC-Vision software will detect a measuring device on an E-Cal module. The corresponding button is activated and can then be selected to transmit instrument data.

0222

3615

.tif

The instrument configuration procedure is the same as with basic version of the Dräger CC-Vision software. Therefore, please remember to read the corresponding chapter in the Dräger CC-Vision manual. During autocalibration, an instrument file is created for each instrument, or - if the instrument in question already has a file - the data in that file is updated. The automatically assigned file name is made up of: "instrument_type_fabrication_date.gdt".

30

Checklists A regular inspection of the most important instrument components of the E-Cal Station is necessary to ensure a faultless verification and calibration of portable gas detection instruments. The following checklists indicate the components which need to be checked during installation and prior to commissioning. Checks when Installing or Recommissioning the E-Cal Station 1. Is the instrument equipped with power plugs approved by

Dräger? 2. Were the power plugs correctly connected? 3. Is the system operated in unpressurised condition? (Only if

"on demand" control valves were not used.) 4. Are the hoses between gas cylinders and master station less

than 10 meters long? 5. Are the hoses used to connect gas cylinders and master

station made of PVC, Viton, Tygon or Teflon and do they have an inside diameter of 4 mm?

6. Were the hoses used to connect modules and master station supplied by Dräger?

7. Are the gas outlet hoses less than 2 meters long? (Only if no purge module is installed.)

8. Are the device module gas outlets all equipped with connection pieces which have a transversal hole? (Only if a purge module is installed.)

9. Have all parts of the packaging and adhesive films been removed from the system?

If all questions listed above were answered with Yes, there should be nothing to prevent proper operation.

Carry out the following checks before commissioning the E-Cal Station: 1. Visual inspection of sensor gasket in individual modules. In

case of heavy contamination or visible defects, the gasket must be replaced.

2. Visual inspection of all installed hoses. Hoses with visible defects must be replaced.

3. Visual inspection of gas outlet hose. This hose must be properly connected and unclogged.

Menu with E-Cal Station The E-Cal version of the Dräger CC-Vision Software comes with an additional menu item called 'Autocalibration'. The toolbar has an additional, configurable button.

Autocalibration Menu This menu item has all functions and settings for the automatic calibration and configuration of the Go button. 1 System Configuration Initialisation of the system interfaces. The serial numbers of the E-Cal modules (upper label) are entered in the corresponding fields. The COM ports for master and modules are determined. 2 Gas Configuration Gas configuration for the available valves. Gas, concentration and unit are entered using the selection lists. 3 Setup Go-Button The Go button is configurable. A window is displayed showing a selection of functions which can be assigned to this button. 4 Sensor List List of all possible sensors with tolerance specification for the gas test in %. The tolerance value can be edited here. 5 Sensor List (Quicktest) List of all sensors which can be assigned to the Quicktest. Here, sensors can be added and deleted, incl. tolerance and time values. 6 Zero Calibration An automatic zero calibration is carried out for the sensors of all powered up instruments in the E-Cal station. 7 Fresh Air Cal An automatic Fresh Air Cal is carried out for the sensors of all powered up instruments in the E-Cal station. 8 Span Calibration An automatic span calibration is carried out for the sensors of all powered up instruments in the E-Cal station.

9 Gas Test A gas test is carried out for the sensors of all powered up instruments in the E-Cal station. 10 Quicktest The quicktest is a simple sensor function test (for more information, refer to "Quicktest Configuration"). 11 Datalogger Readout Used to read out the contents of the datalogger. 12 Datalogger Reset Used to delete the contents of the datalogger. 13 Switch Off All Instruments Following the calibration, all measuring instruments in the modules are switched off. 14 Date/Time Synchronisation Synchronisation of date and time between measuring instrument and PC. 15 Ex Cal. Gas You can use this function with instruments which normally only display "Ex" (for 'EX sensor') to have them show the default calibration test gas for the EX sensor.

33

Commissioning of Dräger CC-Vision E-Cal System and gas configuration must be completed prior to calibration and gas test automation. System Configuration The system configuration can be accessed using the menu Autocalibration - System Configuration. Enter the COM ports for master and modules. Enter the serial numbers of the E-Cal modules (upper label) in the corresponding fields. While doing so, pay attention to the sequence of entry to ensure that the button position on the toolbar and the position of the E-Cal module in the E-Cal station correspond. The "adapter mode" must be selected when using a module adapter. It is then only possible to configure a single instrument module. It is not possible to configure master and purge module in "adapter mode". Purge modules need to be activated and configured prior to use. USB interfaces need to be activated prior to use with the E-Cal station. A test button is used to test the communication with all configured E-Cal modules.

Notice The communication with gas detection instruments which might be inserted is not tested.

Configuring Gases The Autocalibration - Gas Configuration menu can be used to access calibration and test gas configuration settings. Enter gas, concentration and unit for the available valves. State if you are using mixed gas and if the gas is intended for gas test and/or span calibration.

Go-Button Configuration Various functions can be assigned to the Go button, so that actuation of the button will trigger an automatic cycle. The configuration of the Go button can be accessed using the Autocalibration - Setup Go-Button menu.

Gas Test Configuration The gas test is used to verify sensor calibration. The permissible tolerance is specified in the Autocalibration/Sensor List menu. The tolerance settings for each sensor can be edited as needed to meet individual requirements. Quicktest Configuration The quicktest is a simple sensor function test. The only thing tested is whether the measuring instrument exceeds a certain measurement value. If necessary, the quicktest can be carried out using a replacement gas. Provided that it is possible, the gas test is to preferred over the quicktest.

0412

3615

.tif

The quicktest limit value is stated as a percentage of the full scale value (e.g. XS H2S 6809110 full scale value = 100 ppm): With an indicated limit value of 10 %, the sensor must reach or exceed a measurement signal of 10 ppm.

0412

3615

.tif

The default quicktest is carried out using measuring gas. However, you can use Set Gas List to define a replacement gas for the quicktest of certain sensors. As of now, the following replacement gases are approved: methane, propane and pentane (for EX sensors), carbon monoxide (for XS OV and OVA) and ammonia (for XS Amine). For all other sensors, the measuring gas needs to be used for the quicktest.

35

36

Testing and Calibrating with the E-Cal Station The Dräger E-Cal can be used to perform the following functions: gas test, quicktest, calibration of zero point, fresh air and span. The corresponding functions can be launched either using the Go button or via Autocalibration menu. Before launching the autocalibration, make sure: 1. that the system and gas configuration settings are correct. 2. that the measuring instruments are correctly positioned in

the holders of the E-Cal modules. 3. that the measuring instruments are powered up. For more important information on how to calibrate, please refer to chapter "Calibrating with Dräger CC-Vision". After launching the autocalibration, the calibration window is opened to show the current calibration process status.

Display of Calibration Results The green background colour of a result field indicates that all tested sensors were calibrated successfully. The red background colour indicates that an error has occured with the calibration of at least one sensor. A sensor shown in grey in the calibration window indicates that this sensor is not being calibrated. Reasons for this could be: - the sensor is inactive - the sensor is defective - the sensor type is not supported by E-Cal - The calibration gas required for this sensor is not available. The following sensors are currently supported: Sensor Supported Calibration / Test Gas CAT-Ex C CAT-Ex 125 Smart CAT-Ex Smart CAT-Ex HC Smart CAT-Ex FR

Protocols in Dräger CC-Vision E-Cal In addition to the protocols provided by Dräger CC-Vision (see chapter "Protocols in Dräger CC-Vision"), Dräger CC-Vision E-Cal offers further data protocols. Special Protocols in Dräger CC-Vision E-Cal - System Configuration - Gas Configuration - Calibration History

Network Configuration This dialog uses a wizard designed to identify and configure all connected ConLine V24 compact device servers. Should the system fail to detect a connected compact device server, you can alternately enter the MAC address (which is specified on the rear identification tag). If the wizard succeeds in finding the compact device server, you can enter an alternate IP address which will be assigned and valid for the corresponding local area network. A valid IP address is usually provided by the LAN operator, which in most cases will be the internal IT department. Once the IP address has been saved, you can add the Dräger Mobile Printer connected to this compact device server to the mobile printer list, use the IP address for configuration and establish communication.

38

Database Function Instead of using a text file, the calibration and test results can be archived in a database. The preferred archiving method is to be determined during installation. Prerequisites Up to now, the only prerequisite required for database operation is the database software: - MS SQL Server 2000 (incl. MDAC Version 2.6 runtime or

higher on the client) - MS Access Installing Dräger CC-Vision During program setup, database installation will be prompted. If database installation is affirmative, the next query will be to determine if an installation is already available. If this is not the case, a new database will be created. To this end, the so-called "Connection" string is initialised. In this context, it is important to verify that the corresponding database programs have been installed on the computer and that a connection has been established. After installation, it is no longer possible to switch to a version without database without reinstalling the program. Operation Dräger CC-Vision can be launched after the database connection has been established during installation. The connection will be tested every time the program is launched. The results of every calibration or test will be sent to the database. It is not possible to save the entire instrument parameters with this database version. DB Search The search dialog of this database version can be used to select instruments, sensors and calibration and/or test procedures. In addition, there are various search and filter options. Auto-Configuration

Notice Currently only available with Dräger Miniwarn.

The auto-configuration makes monitoring and setting of certain device configurations possible, provided these features have been activated in the GO-Button setup.
