USER MANUAL Gas Trainer
1. General description
The Gas Trainer has been specially developed to safely simulate situations where the use of
a four gas meter needs to be trained. No use is made of real gases; instead, transmitters
(electronic beacons) are used to simulate a cloud of gas. As the transmitters are equipped
with a field strength regulator, it is possible to simulate both large and small clouds of gas.
The system is capable of simulating four different types of gas:
- explosive gas (%LEL)
- Oxygen (O2)
- Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)
- Carbon Monoxide (CO)
The trainee’s gas meter (Student Unit) measures the strength of the signal of the
transmitters, thus simulating one of the four gases (selectable). An alarm sounds if the
measured value exceeds the preset alarm value. Per gas type, two alarm levels can be set
by the Instructor. The instructor also receives an alarm signal if one of the alarm values is
exceeded.
One gas type (user selectable on the Instructor Unit) will be simulated by the transmitters,
the other three gases can be adjusted on the Instructor Unit.
The Student Unit and Instructor Unit communicate with each other using a wireless link.
The Student Unit will always follow the Instructor Unit’s settings for the three gases that are
not simulated by the transmitters.
The set consists of:
1 Gas Trainer Instructor Unit
1 Gas Trainer Student Unit
3 Gas Trainer transmitters
1 Gas Trainer measuring probe
1 AC/DC Power Supply
1 DC Power splitter cable

3. Use
3.1 Transmitters
The transmitters form the source of the simulated cloud of gas.
In order to control the size of the cloud of gas, all transmitters are equipped with a field
strength regulator, allowing the range to be set.
Positioning
Position one or more transmitters in the area in which the gas cloud is to be
simulated.
The control unit can be positioned out of sight, and the much smaller transmission points can
be positioned inconspicuously, as long as the Student Unit can receive information from the
transmission points. The best effects are achieved when all three transmitters are positioned
in such a way that they combine to form a circle within which the gas cloud can be detected
(figure 3.1).

Operation
Controls and indicator on the transmitter (figure 3.2):
(1) Power indicator (Red)
(2) Charger indicator (Green)
(3) High setting (large gas cloud)
(4) Low setting (small gas cloud)
(5) Charging connector
(6) Power switch
figure 3.2: Controls of the Transmitter
Switching on
Push the left-hand switch upwards (6).
The power indicator (1) will flash, and the set signal will be emitted.
Field Strength
The transmitter has two different field strengths, to be able to make larger and smaller gas
clouds.
High field strength
- Push the right-hand switch upwards (3).
The transmission points now have a range of approx. 8 meters (10% LEL) in an open space.
The range is greatly dependent on reflections in the area. It is therefore possible for the
range to vary in the vicinity of obstacles.
Low field strength
- Push the right-hand switch downwards (4).
The transmission points now have a range of approx. 5 meters (10% LEL) in an open space.
The range is greatly dependent on reflections in the area. It is therefore possible for the
range to vary in the vicinity of obstacles.
Switching off
Push the left-hand switch downwards (6).
The indicator (6) will stop flashing, and the transmitter will stop emitting signals.
PROTOTYPE!

USER MANUAL Gas Trainer
Charging
Connect the transmitter’s charging connector (5) to the battery charger and plug the
wall adaptor in the wall outlet.
The transmitter will then be switched off electronically, irrespective of the position of the onoff switch. The green charging indicator will start blinking. When the battery is full, the
charging indicator lights continuously.
When a battery is completely empty before recharging, the device will start a trickle charge
cycle to prevent battery damage. The green charging indicator will immediately light
continuously. Leave the charger connected, the charger will recover the battery in a safe
way. After approximately four to six hours, the battery will be fully charged.
A normal full charging cycle will take approximately 4 hours.
The charging circuit continuously monitors the battery status and switches to trickle charge
when the battery is fully charged.
Generally speaking, it is sufficient to charge up all the transmitters at the same time as the
Instructor Unit and Student Unit, to always have a working set. If the range of a transmitter
becomes significantly weaker before the batteries of the Instructor Unit or Student Unit are
empty, the battery power level is very low and must be charged up before continuing with the
training.
The transmitter is not equipped with a dedicated battery indicator. However, when the battery
is empty, the power indicator will light continuously. The transmitter will not operate reliable
anymore, the battery needs to be recharged.

Measuring
Use the device to “search” for gases, as one would do with a normal gas meter.
The meter will display a reading if the holder enters the area of range of a transmitter, or if
the Instructor has manually changed a value.
If one of the measurements exceeds the preset lowest alarm level A1, the meter will give a
normal alarm signal; the optical alarms will flash in red and a sound will be emitted.
If one of the measurements exceeds the preset highest alarm level A2, the meter will give a
fast alarm signal; the optical alarms will flash fast in red and a faster sound will be emitted.
The text of the gas causing the alarm will blink to indicate the cause of the alarm.
An alarm will continue as long as one of the measurements is beyond the alarm limit.
Taking measurements using an external measuring probe
The supplied measuring probe can be used to take spot measurements. The built-in sensor
is deactivated automatically when the probe is connected to the Student Unit’s connector (2).
Measurements are then only taken using the probe.
Take the probe and connect the probe’s connector to the connector (2) of the Student
Unit.

4. Channel and language setup
In order to use more than one set in the same area, the Gas Trainer set has eight different
channels. Please note that these are so called software channels; every channel uses the
same radio frequency using different Device ID’s. Therefore, using more than one set in the
same area might result in a slightly slower response between Instructor Unit and Student
Unit.
The Gas Trainer set allows the user to set the language for indicating the explosive gas
measurement. These options are available from the setup menu:
•
•
•
%LEL
%LIE
%UEG
All settings are made on the Instructor Unit, and are then transmitted to the Student Unit. All
Student Units within the reach of the wireless link will receive the settings, even if they are on
a different channel. Upon reception of these settings, a Student Unit will ask the user to
accept (press and hold the power button) or decline (press the power button shortly) these
settings. Be sure to set up the settings correctly before accepting or declining them on the
Student Unit.
A Student Unit will only ask for confirmation once. If a user accidentally makes the wrong
decision (e.g. declining instead of accepting), then leave the Instructor Unit in setup mode
and switch the Student Unit off and on. The Student Unit will then ask for confirmation again.
Entering setup menu on the Instructor Unit
Be sure that the Instructor Unit is switched off.
Press and hold the mode button.
With the mode button pressed, switch the device on.
Release the mode button.
The setup menu will appear on the display.
Use the mode button to switch between language and channel.
Use the up and down buttons to change the value.
Leave the Instructor Unit in setup mode until you have confirmed the settings on the
Student Unit
figure 4.1: Setup menu on Instructor Unit
Leaving setup menu on the Instructor Unit
After the settings have been accepted or declined on the Student Unit (see next page), the
user can leave the setup menu and go back to measurement mode.
Leave the setup menu on the Instructor Unit by pressing and holding the power
button.
The device will shortly show the BullEx logo and then return to measurement mode.

Accepting or declining settings on the Student Unit
Whenever a Student Unit receives setup
information from any Instructor Unit in the
neighborhood, the Student Unit will ask for
confirmation by showing a settings menu
on the display (figure 4.2).
Since all Student Units in the neighborhood
will receive this information, the user can either
accept or decline these settings.

5. Inspection and maintenance
In order to ensure trouble-free training sessions, we recommended that you regularly carry
out the following checks, preferably before every training session:
•
Inspect the system for damage to the casing or cables. Do not use the system if the
cables are damaged or if the casing is damaged to such an extent that one could
expect the system not to function properly or to pose a potential safety risk to the
student or instructor. In that case, contact the manufacturer and have the system
repaired.
•
Check the proper functioning of the system. Switch on one transmitter, and use the
Student Unit to check that it is working properly. At the same time, check whether the
measured value is being sent to the Instructor Unit. Then do the same for the other
transmitters.
•
Make sure that the system is adequately charged when starting a training exercise.
Low battery power can give rise to unwelcome training interruptions.
•
The usable lifetime of the batteries is limited. An average battery will last for 1 to 2
years. If the length of time that one can work with the unit on a fully charged battery
diminishes noticeably, then we recommend that you have the batteries replaced. In
order to get maximum benefit from the system, we recommend that all the batteries
are replaced at the same time. The batteries will also last longer if you use the
system regularly, and regularly recharge the batteries. If the system is not used for a
period of one month or longer, you should completely charge the set before using it.

6. Precautions and safety instructions
•
The Gas Trainer system is a simulation system. For reasons of safety, the system does
not detect gas but ultrasonic signals. The system therefore cannot be used as a real gas
meter. Do not use the system in an environment in which you suspect that there
may actually be a potentially explosive mix of gases!
•
The system is not waterproof. Never use it in the rain or in places where fireextinguishing materials are used. Contact with water may permanently damage the
system, in which case any resulting damage will not be covered by the product
guarantee.
•
Never use the system if the casing or cables are damaged and if you suspect a potential
risk for the instructor or trainee. In this event, contact the manufacturer and have the
system repaired.
•
If necessary, clean the equipment with a damp cloth (using a mild all-purpose household
cleaning agent if necessary). The casing is not resistant to chemicals such as alcohol,
thinner or acetone.
•
If no units are being charged, disconnect the battery charger from the mains power.
•
Once the training session has been completed, it is best to store the set back in the
supplied carry case. You can thus be sure that the system will be well protected.
7. Guarantee

This section deals with the most common malfunctions and/or errors and possible solutions.
If you have any doubts, please feel free to contact HAAGEN Fire Training Products.
Problem:
The Student Unit is not detecting anything
from the transmitters
The Instructor Unit cannot detect the Student
Unit, although both devices are switched on.
The Instructor Unit is not showing the
measured values on the Student Unit.
Possible solution:
Check whether all the transmitters set out are
switched on. Check whether all the power
LEDs on the transmitters are flashing. If the
LED is not flashing but the device is switched
on, the transmitter’s battery power is probably
too low. Charge the transmitter and try again.
If the problem persists, contact the
manufacturer.

same channel.
