Description
2.2 Functional description
2.2.1 Principle of operation of the DrägerSensor® 1EC
The electrochemical DrägerSensor EC are electrochemical
transducers for measuring the partial pressure of a gas under
atmospheric conditions.
The ambient air diffuses through a membrane in the liquid
electrolyte of the sensor. A measuring electrode, a counter-
electrode and a reference electrode are in the electrolyte.
An electronic potentiostat circuit maintains a constant electrical
voltage between the measuring electrode and the reference
electrode. The voltage, the electrode and the electrode material
are selected to enable the monitored gas to be electrochemically
converted at the measuring electrode. The electrons flowing
during the reaction are a gauge for the gas concentration.
There is an electrochemical reaction with oxygen from the
ambient air at the counter electrode at the same time.
2.3 Intended use
The Dräger Polytron 8000 is an explosion-proof device for
continuous monitoring of toxic gases or oxygen in the ambient
air, corresponding to the integrated DrägerSensor. The housing
for the device consists of robust, non-corroding stainless steel
or aluminum and is suitable for indoor or outdoor applications.
The unit can be connected to a Dräger monitoring system or
a programmable logic controller (PLC) by means of a sealed
conduit or an appropriately approved cable gland. With the
optionally integrated relay module, the device can be operated
without a central controller (with additional local alarm
signaling). The device is designed for fixed installation and is
approved for use in potentially explosive atmospheres,
see chapter 2.5 on page 6.
2.4 Intended area and conditions of use
Hazard areas classified into zones:
The device is only designed for use in Zone 1 or Zone 2
potentially explosive atmospheres for which a temperature range
as specified on the device must be observed and in which gases
of Explosion Groups IIA, IIB or IIC and Temperature Classes T4
or T6 (depending on maximum ambient temperature) or dust of
Groups IIIA, IIIB or IIIC may occur. The temperature range
specified for the device must be observed.
Hazard areas classified into divisions:
The device is only designed for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres of Classes I&II, Div. 1 or 2, in which gases or
dust of Groups A, B, C, D or E, F, G and Temperature Classes T4
or T6 (depending on maximum ambient temperature) may occur.
The temperature range specified for the device must

3 Installation
3.1 General information for the installation
The selection of a suitable mounting location is crucial for the
effectiveness and performance of the entire system. Every detail
of the installation must be thoroughly thought out. The following
must be noted in particular:
zThe local and national rules and regulations for the
installation of gas measuring systems.
zThe applicable regulations for running and connecting
power and signal cables to gas measuring systems.
zThe full extent of environmental influences to which the
device will be subjected.
zThe physical properties of the gases and vapors to
be measured.
zThe details of the particular application (e.g., potential leaks,
air movements/flows, etc.).
zaccessibility for required maintenance activities.
zThe geometric of the accessories that are used with
the system.
zAll other limiting factors and stipulations that may affect
the installation of the system.
zFor installation without a conduit, an approved cable gland
(e.g. Hawke A501/421/A/¾" NPT or equivalent) must be
used (see chapter 12 on page 31). To increase the RF
interference immunity, it may be necessary to connect the
cable screen to the cable gland and to the control unit.
zThe explosion proof enclosure has three ¾" NPT
connections, which can be used for field wiring, the direct
attachment of a sensor or wiring an external sensor.
Unused openings must be closed off with a plug. For the
correct tightening torques for cable bushings, plugs,
sensors and connectors, see chapter 12 on page 31.
zThe secondary circuit is supposed to be supplied from an
isolating source (does not apply to relay contacts).
zThe optional e-Box has up to four 20 mm connections,
which can be used for field wiring or wiring an external
sensor. The permissible cable diameter is 7 to 12 mm.
zIf the device is installed in locations where ambient
temperatures of over 55 °C prevail, appropriate cables
which are specified for use at temperatures of 25 °C above
the maximum ambient temperature must be used.
zStrip back the insulation on conductors by 5 to 7 mm.
zConnect the cable as shown in chapter 3.5 on page 8
(shown here also with protective ground) or chapter 3.6 on
page 9.
zThe connecting wires for the optional relay module must
be selected and fused according to the rated voltages,
currents and environmental conditions.
zWhen stranded conductors are used, an end ferrule must
also be used.
3.2 Restrictions on the installation
zThe device requires a DC voltage between 10 and 30 V.
The minimum supply voltage of 10 V and the cross-section
of the conductors used determine the distance of the
device from the supply or the central controller
(see chapter 12 on page 31). The device is designed for
cables of size 12 to 24 AWG (0.2 to 2.5 mm2). Use a three-
wire, screened cable as a minimum.
zThe device must not be subjected to any radiant heat
(e.g. direct sunlight) as this will result in a temperature rise
above the specified thresholds (see chapter 12 on page 31).
The use of a reflective screen is recommended.
zThe housing is weather resistant and suitable for outdoor
applications. The use of the optional splash guard is
recommended to protect the sensor from water and dust.
zThe device must be installed and operated in an environment
which conforms to the stated specifications (see chapter 12
on page 31).
zTo insure proper operation of the device, the impedance of the
4 to 20 mA signal loop must not exceed 500 ohms.
Depending on the operating voltage and according to the
application (e.g. HART operation), certain minimum
impedances must be adhered to (see chapter 3.3 on page 7).
The conductors for the power supply must have an
adequately low resistance to insure the correct supply voltage
at the device.
3.3 Impedance range of the signal loop
Devices with a HART interface can be operated with HART
communication or in HART Multidrop mode.
NOTICE
A dust cap can be fitted to the cable entry of the device.
This cap is only used for transport purposes and must
be removed before the device is connected to a sealed
conduit.

5 Calibration
Repeat the calibration of the device at regular intervals as
specified in the respective sensor data sheet.
5.1 Calibrating the device
1. Connect the pressure regulator to the test gas cylinder.
2. Attach the calibration adapter to the sensor.
3. The gas flow should be approx. 0.5 L/min.
4. Connect the tube to the calibration adapter.
1 Pressure regulator
2 EC sensing head
3 Calibration adapter
4Tube
5 Test gas cylinder
5.1.1 Zero point calibration
1. Select Calibration > Zero Calibration and confirm.
The Maintenance signal is transmitted.
The message Apply zero gas appears.
2. Apply zero gas (synthetic air or nitrogen) to the sensor.
3. Select Next and confirm.
The current measured value is displayed.
CAUTION
Danger to health! Do not inhale the test gas.
Observe the hazard information in the corresponding
safety data sheets. Provide venting into a fume hood
or outside the building.
Always calibrate the zero point first before the sensitivity.
Otherwise the calibration will be faulty!
NOTICE
Calibration is not possible if the date and time are not
set (see chapter 8.2.3 on page 20).
Dräger recommends calibrating devices with target gas.
This method of target gas calibration is more accurate
than a surrogate gas calibration. A surrogate gas
calibration may only be performed as an alternative if
a target gas calibration is not possible.
!
i
i
NOTICE
Ambient air can also be used instead of nitrogen or
synthetic air to zero the sensor, provided it is insured
that the ambient air contains no target gas or any other
gas for which the sensor may be cross-sensitive to
(see the details in the sensor data sheet). In this case,
neither a test gas cylinder nor a calibration adapter is
required for the zero point calibration.
The zero point cannot be calibrated for the O2sensor
and exclusively Nitrogen must be used for testing.

NOTICE
Not all of the available sensors and gases support auto
calibration. If the function is not available, a manual
calibration must be performed.
WARNING
It must be insured that during the zero point calibration,
no target gas is present in the supplied test gas.
Particularly with a fresh air calibration, Dräger
recommends performing a second, independent
measurement. Some sensors may only be calibrated
with synthetic air or nitrogen (see respective sensor
data sheets).
NOTICE
After 10 minutes, without confirmation the device
reverts to measurement mode without performing
a calibration.
