Intended Use

Intended Use
Dräger PSD 3000
— Sampling unit for the continuous
sampling of gas/air mixtures and ap-
plying it to a gas transmitter.
PSD 3000
WARNING
The sampling unit is not suitable for the
installation in classified, hazardous
areas. Danger of explosion!
Gas/air mixtures may only be sampled
from a classified, hazardous area if a
flame arrestor is installed in–line bet-
ween the sampling unit and the hazar-
dous areas.
Observe that the volume of the potentially
explosive gas behind the flame arrestor
(outside the explosion-proof area) is small

00223894_01.eps
enough so that no hazardous explosive
atmosphere can develop. All relevant
parameters, e.g. the type of the potentially
sampled flammable gas, its explosion limit
and the volumes of the gas-carrying ele-
ments, which are behind the flame arrestor, must be included in the risk analysis.
Other than the gas-carrying parts inside the PSD, the hoses and fittings, through which the
gas flows to and away from the sampling unit, also have to be taken into account. Moreover,
possible gas accumulation in case of an error (e.g. due to leakage of the hoses inside and
outside of the sampling unit) is to be comprised.
The internal volumes of the sampling unit PSD 3000 are:
Gas-carrying volume in normal operation: 10.7 cm³
Housing cover volume, which will fill up with gas in case of an error of leakage of the hoses
inside the PSD 3000: ca. 720 cm³

When used in connection with a central controller unit, e.g. Regard:

— a fault alarm is triggered if the minimum flow rate falls below the set value.

Design concept
The sampling unit is integrated into the wiring to the gas transmitter. Two cable entries are
provided. One cable entry is for the cable from the central controller. The other cable entry is
for the cable to the transmitter.
The cable leading to the central controller unit provides the necessary power supply, the 4 to
20 mA measuring signal of the gas transmitter as well as the fault signal (if the minimum flow
rate in the sampling line falls below the set value). If the minimum flow rate falls below the set
value, either:
— the load impedance for the 4 to 20 mA signal of the gas transmitter is short-circuited in the
central controller unit,
— switched to ground or
— switched to zero potential.
An internal potentiometer can be used to adjust the flow rate in the sampling line to the
respective local requirements.

 Installing the Sampling Unit

Installing the Sampling

Unit
WARNING
If dust or moisture enters the sampling
unit, the flow control unit may no longer
function properly. The same applies to
chemicals that produce crystalline
deposits or other products as a result of
prolonged exposure.
Install the sampling unit in a location
where it is not possible for dust and
moisture (or condensation) to enter the
unit. Use a condensate trap if necessary.

 The sampling unit should be installed, if

possible, in close proximity to the gas
transmitter, in an area which is low in
vibration and where the temperature is as
stable as possible (not exposed to direct
sunlight).
 Avoid external influences such as splash
water, oil, dust, etc. as well as potential
sources of mechanical damage.
To avoid the formation of condensate, do
not use the sampling unit in excessively
hot and/or humid environments. If this is
unavoidable, a condensate trap of suffi-
cient capacity must be installed.
 Dust must not be allowed to enter the in-
ternal pneumatic path of the PSD 3000. A
suitable sampling point filter must be fit-
ted to protect the path.

 Unscrew the four screws holding the

housing cover in place.
1 Mount the sampling unit by fixing the four
1
screws through the housing.

 Drilling dimensions: see “Dimensions” on

page 22.
Ensure that there is sufficient space ar-
round the unit for cable/sample-line
connections and maintenance.
NOTE
00323894_01.eps

The connections must be facing down-

wards.
The maximum deviation from the verti-
cal is 20o.

5
Installing the Sampling Unit

Installing the gas lines

 Take into account any possible absorption effects when selecting the gas lines (material,
length).
 When measuring the sampling line length, the extension of the alarm delay time must be
taken into account.
 Recommended hose material: PTFE or PE depending on the chemical resistance to the
target gas. If other hose materials or diameters are used, use the supplied PTFE hoses as
a transition piece.
 Insert the hose into the hose connection as far as it will go! Ensure that the hose inserted
is past the internal O-ring seal.
 To open the hose connection, press the black ring on the coupling upwards, while simul-
taneously removing the hose downwards.

 In areas where the air is contaminated with dust, a sampling point filter (order no.
68 06 743) must be provided at the sampling point in order to protect the pump and the
sensor. Avoid external influences like splashing water, oil etc., and potential sources of
mechanical damage.
 When installing the sampling point filter (order no. 68 06 743), fully open the flow control
valve in the sampling point filter.

 Observe the ventilation conditions!

Ensure the sampling point is in the airflow.

 Observe the density of the gas!

For gases with a density lower than that of air, the sampling point must be located above
any possible leak or at the highest point at which large concentrations of gas may occur.
For gases and vapors with a density greater than that of air, the sampling point must be
located below a possible leak or at the lowest point at which such gases and vapors may
occur.

 Ensure the gas connections do not contain any leaks, because these could cause consi-
derable measuring errors to occur at the transmitter. During the leak test, no positive or
negative pressure must be created at the EC sensor!

 Determine where the sampling unit should be arranged in the gas path, depending on the
respective application, and proceed in accordance with the corresponding section.
 Ensure that the desired flow direction is correct and adjust it if necessary.

6
 Installing the Sampling Unit

Blowing arrangement
The spatial proximity of gas transmitter and sampling unit in this arrangement offers the
advantage that the pressure of the environment and that of the inside of the gassing adapter
is virtually identical. This means that the sensor is not exposed to a pressure difference. For
information on the maximum pressure difference, refer to the data sheet of the respective
sensor.

PSD 3000

Polytron

IN OUT

00423894_01_en.eps
from the sampling point to the outlet

In the case of electrochemical sensors, the maximum permitted pressure difference at the
gassing adapter is generally 30 hPa, related to the ambient pressure at the gas transmitter.
An unpermitted positive pressure can also be created, for example, by closing the outlet air
connection.

Exhaust arrangement
This arrangement is to be preferred when conveying gases which are absorbed on the sur-
face of the gas line especially easily (e.g. Cl2). In addition, this arrangement may be neces-
sary if the pressure difference between the outlet air line and ambient pressure at the gas
transmitter is high as a direct result of the installation.

to the outlet
from the sampling point

Install the sampling connection at the measuring point in such a way that the line cannot be
closed accidentally (e.g. by using the sampling point filter, order no. 68 06 743).

For gas transmitters with electrochemical sensors

The sampling point must never be closed to test the system for leaks! The resulting negative
pressure would damage the electrochemical sensor.

Installing the Sampling Unit

Installing electrical connecti-

ons
 The wiring may be installed and
connected only by a qualified electrician
and in accordance with the local regulati-
ons.

 Unscrew the four screws holding the

housing cover in place.

 Installing the Sampling Unit

Flow rate alarm due to short circuit of the

analog 4 to 20 mA signal against GND

— The sampling unit is already factory con-

figured for this type of installation:
all jumpers stay in the positions 1, 3, 5
and 7.
NOTE 1
A replacement jumper is located on the 3
inside of the cover.
5

00923894_01.eps
To ensure a flow rate alarm can still be 7
uniquely detected with an assumed value of
3 mA of RB , the following condition must be
met for the output resistance RGND:
RB x 3 mA
RGND =
ITR.max + 250 mA

Here ITr.max + 250 mA is the maximum cur-

rent on the GND line to the central controller
unit. ITr.max is the maximum transmitter cur-
rent.

If a flow rate alarm occurs, no digital commu-

nication is possible between the gas trans-
mitter and the central controller unit.
If the flow rate alarm is not recognized by the
central controller unit, configuration 2 or 3
can be selected.

 Maintenance

Maintenance
Maintenance intervals
Before starting operation:
 Check the flow rate and flow rate monitoring, page 17.
 Set the flow rate if necessary, page 17.
 Check for leaks, page 19.
 Check the selected switching function on the connecting terminals.

At regular intervals to be defined by the person responsible for the gas warning
system; recommended at least every six months:
 Check external dust filter, clean it or replace it if necessary.
 Check the flow rate and flow rate monitoring, page 17.
 Set the flow rate if necessary, page 17.
 Check for leaks, page 19.
 Check the selected switching function on the connecting terminals.

Every six months:

 Inspection by a qualified person. The inspection intervals must be established in each in-
dividual case and shortened if necessary, depending on technical safety considerations,
engineering conditions and the technical requirements of the equipment.
— We recommend that a service agreement is arranged with DrägerService and that repairs
also be carried out by them.

Checking and setting the flow rate and flow rate monitoring of
Dräger PSD 3000
The sampling unit is preset to a flow rate of at least 0.75 L/min upon delivery.
This value should only be changed in justified exceptions because increasing the flow rate
can reduce the service life of the pump.
The flow rate can be set to approx. 1.0 L/min.

The flow rate alarm setpoint is set to the fixed value of 0.3 L/min.

The flow rate may be reduced slightly due to unusually long or narrow sampling paths or a
strong negative pressure at the sampling point, which could make it necessary to correct the
flow rate settings.

17
Maintenance

 Connect the flow control unit to the

sampling unit connection on the output si-
de.
If non-linear measuring devices are used
(e.g. flow rate pipe, Rotameter) a rigid
compensation reservoir with a volume of
approx. 1 L should be temporarily swit- L/min
ched between the sampling unit and the OUT
flow control unit in order to attenuate the IN
pump surges.

01923894_01.eps
 Checking the flow rate.
1 Adjust the flow rate on the potentiometer
if necessary.

If the flow rate cannot be adjusted to the

desired value anymore:
 Check the external dust filter and replace
it if necessary.
 Check the internal dust filter and replace
the hose set if necessary, page 19. 1

02023894_01.eps
If the flow rate is still not sufficient:
 Replace the pump unit, page 20.

 Put the cover back on (ensure that the

LED window is positioned correctly).

To check the flow rate alarm setpoint when

Dräger PSD 3000 inlet becomes restricted:
 Gradually reduce the line cross section
directly in front of the sampling socket of
the sampling unit until the flow rate alarm
has just started and read the flow rate
alarm setpoint from the flow control unit. L/min
Note that the flow rate recognition occurs

 Maintenance

Checking for leaks

 Measure the flow rate as described under
"Checking and setting the flow rate and
flow rate monitoring", page 17.
 Note the measured flow rate.
 Using the flow control unit at the sampling
point.
If non-linear measuring devices are used
(e.g. flow rate pipe, Rotameter) a com-
pensation reservoir with a volume of
approx. 1 L should be temporarily swit-
ched between the flow control unit and
the sampling unit in order to attenuate the
pump surges.
 Measure flow rate and compare it with the
value from the first measurement. L/min IN OUT
If the value of the second measurement is
greater by more than 10 %:

02223894_01.eps
 Check the hose connections, and replace
the pump unit if necessary, page 20.

Replacing the hose set

 Unscrew the four screws holding the
housing cover in place.

 Remove the hoses from the inlet (IN) and

from the pump unit.
 Remove the hoses from the hose mount.
1 Remove the flow rate switch from the
contact plugs on the printed circuit board
and remove the hose set from the
housing.
 Install the new hose set into the housing
in reverse order.
 Attach the housing cover again. 1
After the hose set has been replaced:
 Check the flow rate and flow rate monito-
ring, page 17.
 Set the flow rate if necessary, page 17.

 Construction and Principle of Operation

Construction and Prin-

ciple of Operation
Basically, the sampling unit consists of a
magnetic piston pump with an adjustable
power supply, whereby the pump flow rate
can be adjusted over a wide area to the
given conditions.
The aspirated gas first passes through a dust
filter to separate particulate matter, before it
passes the integral restrictor screws and the
pump.
The integral restrictor screws with differential
pressure switch and downstream electronics
are used for alarm purposes in the event the
minimum flow rate falls below the set value.
