Introduction
Warnings and Safety Practices
Please read the Notices and Warnings section of this user’s manual
before operating the Multi-PID 2.
Approved Models of the Multi-PID 2
This manual provides operational information for all models of the
Multi-PID 2. The Multi-PID 2 is intrinsically safe and approved for use
in hazardous locations. Refer to the Notices and Warnings section of
this manual for details of each approval.
Throughout the manual, notes are provided to inform you of any limita-
tions of usage for the Multi-PID 2 models.
Excessive Heat and Cold
WARNING:
If the Multi-PID 2 you are using is not specifically
identified as intrinsically safe with a label on the
Multi-PID 2, do not use it in a location where
flammable concentrations of gases and vapors may
exist.
WARNING:
Do not expose the instrument to intense sunlight for
prolonged periods.
Exposure to excessive heat or cold may result in
erroneous readings.

18
Introduction
Intended Use
The Multi-PID 2 measures the concentration of airborne gases and
vapors that can be ionized by a photoionization detector.
The Multi-PID 2 automatically displays and can record these concen-
trations.
In the TVOC mode the Multi-PID 2 does not distinguish between
individual compounds.
The reading displayed represents the total concentration of all pho-
toionizable chemicals present in the sample. The Multi-PID 2 is fac-
tory-set to display concentration in units of ppm.
Benzene is selectively measured in GAS mode.
This measurement requires the use of the PID pre-filter tube benzene.
The pre-filter tube adsorbs all substances with the exception of ben-
zene. Only benzene passes into the detector.

Introduction
The Multi-PID 2 operates automatically. The Multi-PID 2 display
updates itself once per second. You can read concentrations directly
from the display.
The Multi-PID 2 will perform short-term exposure limit (STEL), time-
weighted average (TWA) and REAL calculations when it is in INTER-
VAL mode. You can view any of these results in INTERVAL mode.
The Multi-PID 2 has two datalogging options, TAG and INTERVAL
mode. TAG mode allows the user to manually tag and store readings
during a walkthrough. Interval mode allows the user to datalog at sel-
ectable intervals of 3 seconds to 900 seconds.
In INTERVAL mode, the STEL, REAL and TWA are calculated. If you
select INTERVAL mode, these values are automatically recorded in
the Multi-PID 2’s memory. The Multi-PID 2 can log up to 12,000 ent-
ries.
In TAG mode operation, the Multi-PID 2 prompts you to locate a site
and then to record a background and sample readings for the site.
You can record up to 12,000 manual entries. There is no averaging of
data in TAG mode. Tags are set via the PC using the Dräger GasVi-
sion software.
Recorded data can be reviewed on the display or downloaded to a
computer. Data are recorded by date and time.
The Multi-PID 2 has 5 keys for instrument operation. The keys are
used to set up and calibrate the Multi-PID 2. All information entered
with the keys and stored in the Multi-PID 2’s memory is retained when
the instrument is switched off. The clock and calendar continue to
operate and do not need to be reset when the Multi-PID 2 is turned
on.

Introduction
General Operation
The Multi-PID 2 is a microprocessor-controlled air monitor for measu-
ring the presence of photoionizable compounds in air at parts-per-mil-
lion levels. The block diagram in Figure 2 shows the main
components of the Multi-PID 2.
Figure 2 – Multi-PID 2 Block Diagram
The microprocessor controls the components of the instrument and
interprets and records the signal generated by the photoionization
detector (PID). Recorded data and setup information entered into the
microprocessor’s memory are retained when the Multi-PID 2 is turned
off.
A pump continuously pulls the air under test through the Multi-PID 2’s
PID. The Multi-PID 2 converts the concentration of photoionizable
compounds in the sample into an electrical signal. The microproces-
sor subtracts any background from the signal and divides this signal
by a sensitivity obtained by calibrating with a standard gas of known
concentration. This concentration appears on the Multi-PID 2’s dis-
play and, depending on the values entered through the Multi-PID 2’s
keypad, an alarm status may be displayed and an audio signal may be
heard.
The Multi-PID 2 can detect thousands of different types of airborne
gases and vapors and its response depends on the characteristics as
well as the concentration of each compound.
The Multi-PID 2 does not distinguish one type of compound from
another, but displays a number indicating the total concentration
of all photoionizable compounds in the sample.
