2.2 Function description
The Dräger X-act 5000 is an automatic pump. It is used with tubes or
sample-taking tubes and systems. The pump control provides the
required flow characteristics of the tubes. Tubes are used to determine
gases, vapors, and aerosols in air or technical gases. Sample-taking
tubes and systems are used for the active sampling of volatile organic
substances in the air at workplaces, indoor air, and environmental
areas.
The Dräger X-act 5000 is protected against the effects of common
workplace solvents.
The instrument is equipped with an SO3 filter. The filter refines SO3
exhaust gas, which can occur with some tubes during the
measurement.
The Dräger X-act 5000 has a bar code laser that is classified as a
Class 3R device in accordance with the requirements of IEC 60825-1.
Operation of the Dräger X-act 5000 is menu-driven. The following
operating modes are available:
Measurements using tubes
Air measurements
- "BARCODE OPERATION AIR"
- "MANUAL OPERATION AIR"
Measurements in technical gases
Sample taking
The user selects the operating mode at the beginning of the
measurement. For the short-term tube mode, tubes or simultaneous
test sets, which can be used to measure five substances
simultaneously, can be used. For the sample taking mode, sample
taking tubes and systems will be used.

OPERATION AIR" mode of operation, the icon will be
indicated in the matrix display.
Caution when opening the tube, and be aware of any
detached glass splinters. The ends of the tube may have
sharp edges; risk of injury!
Do not look into the bar code reader and do not view the laser
output with optical instruments (e. g. eye loupes, magnifiers,
and microscopes), because this may pose an eye hazard.
CAUTION
Make sure that any detached glass splinters do not enter the
Dräger X-act 5000 to avoid a contaminated or clogged tube
socket (gas inlet). When you use interfaces or make
adjustments or perform procedures that are not specified in
these instructions for use, this may result in hazardous
radiation exposure.

CAUTION
For measurements in technical gases using tubes, only the
menu “MEASUREMENT TECHN. GAS” shall be used.
Otherwise it will result in considerable measurement errors.
NOTICE
The "MEASUREMENT TECHN. GAS" mode is designed to
consider the different viscosity of a technical gas compared to
the viscosity of ambient air. Prior to this measurement, the
user must adjust the volume flow needed for the
measurement in technical gases.

Use
3.2.3 Measurement with tubes in technical gases
Perform the adjustment and measurement as follows:
1. Connect the resistance tube (6527562) to the tube socket (gas-
inlet) of the Dräger X-act 5000.
2. Connect the resistance tube to the technical gas using an
extension hose of max. 1 m (3 ft) length.
3. Follow the instructions on the display.
4. Remove the resistance tube after adjustment.
5. Connect the extension hose to the tube socket (gas-inlet) of the
Dräger X-act 5000.
6. Connect the tube to be used both to the extension hose (max. 1m
(3 ft)) and the technical gas.
7. Follow the instructions on the display.
For measurements in technical gases, the standard deviation (refer to
the instructions for use of the used tube) can be increased by
additionally approx. 10 to 15 %. The tubes listed in Chap. 10 can be
used for measurements in the technical gases.
3.2.4 Performing a sample taking measurement
1. Select "SAMPLE TAKING" from the menu.
2. Follow the instructions on the display.
3.2.5 Additional option to adjust the flow rate for a single
sample taking measurement
Additionally, it is possible to adjust the set flow rate for sample taking
if needed.
1. Connect the opened sample tube or system to the tube socket
(gas-inlet) of the Dräger X-act 5000.
2. Connect a flow meter to the sample tube or system.
3. Follow the instructions on the display.
4. When the “SET OK & START” prompt occurs on the display, press
the green “OK” key to start the measurement.
5. Compare the flow rate shown on the display with the flow rate
indicated on the external flow meter. If needed, adjust the flow rate
using the blue "UP" and "DOWN" keys.
The effects of the adjustment last only for the duration of the present
sample taking measurement. However, if the present sample taking
measurement is interrupted because the depleted battery must be
replaced, this set flow rate will be saved and restored along with the
other sample taking data that is already saved and restored until the
battery is replaced and the present sample taking measurement is
finished.
CAUTION
The tubes are calibrated for measurements in air. For
measurements in technical gases using tubes, only the menu
“MEASUREMENT TECHN. GAS” shall be used. Otherwise it
will result in considerable measurement errors.
NOTICE
The "MEASUREMENT TECHN. GAS" mode is designed to
consider the different viscosity of a technical gas compared to
the viscosity of ambient air. Prior to this measurement, the
user must adjust the volume flow needed for the
measurement in technical gases.
