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:
Intended Use
Portable gas detection instrument for the continuous monitoring of the concentration of
several gases in the ambient air within the working area and in explosion-hazard areas.
X-am 5600, depending on the instrument type and configuration of DrägerSensors:
independent measurement of one up to six gases.
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.

5
Tests and Approvals
Copies of the name plate and the declaration of conformity are provided in the
enclosed supplementary documentation (order no. 90 33 890).
The BVS 10 ATEX E 080 X technical suitability test is based on the adjustment with the
target gas.
Do not stick anything on the name plate on the gas detector.
The technical suitability tests are valid for the X-am 5600 gas detector and the
calibration cradle. The explosion-protection approvals are only valid for the X-am 5600
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).
It is intended for use in a temperature range
when using power pack ABT 0100:
of –20 °C to +50 °C or –20 °C to +40 °C depending on the batteries used
when using power pack HBT 0000/HBT 0100:
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.
