Introduction
The F8104 Safe Air Monitor is designed to provide continuous monitoring of breathing-air and
compressed-air systems. Once set up the instrument will continue to monitor and data log the air
quality at user defined intervals, validating the air quality against a range of alternative international
standards. For medical, surgical, dental air and medical gas the F8104 is programmed to test against
the requirements of European Pharmacopoeia and in the UK, HTM 02-01.
The F8104, is designed primarily for use on airline systems up to 10 bar but can also test higher
pressure systems up to 20 bar when used in conjunction with the F3005 High Pressure Regulator.
High pressure cylinder air can also be tested with the F3002 HP regulator.
The F8104 is supplied in a plastic protective case with storage provision for accessories.
The test is carried out using built in electrochemical cells for carbon monoxide and oxygen; infrared
LED sensor for the carbon dioxide and a Photo Ionisation Detector (PID) for Volatile Organic
Compounds. The moisture is measured with an electronic dewpoint meter and the instrument also
records pressure and ambient temperature. For measuring oil aerosols, Dräger Impactors are used in
the side mounted test port (or alternatively the Dräger oil chemical reagent tube). The Dräger
Impactors are supplied in packs of 10 and show the degree of oil contamination on the cut glass baffle
plate.
