6.1
The Dräger DrugTest 5000 Analyzer is a sturdy device
requiring a minimum of maintenance and care.
6.2
!
If necessary, clean the external surfaces of the unit with a soft
cloth moistened with a gentle detergent or a commercially
available lab detergent.
6.3
For optimal care of the battery, the unit should always be
connected to the charger and the mains power supply. The unit
itself automatically takes care of the battery (trickle charge).
Recharge battery immediately after use and avoid storing the
unit with an incompletely charged battery.
The Analyzer is equipped with an integrated lead storage
battery. The unit consumes a small standby current even when
switched off, which may discharge a fully charged battery in
approx. 2 months. The battery capacity can be retained at an
optimum and for the long term if prolonged periods of low
charge are avoided.
To do so the following measures are required:
Remedy
Connect battery
charging power
supply unit and
establish mains
power supply.
Cause
The door was
opened during the
analysis process.
A test cassette was
detected in the unit
during the
automatic self test.

Cleaning
CAUTION
Do not immerse the unit in liquids, make sure liquids
do not penetrate the connectors.
The inside of the unit must not be cleaned by users.
Battery maintenance
Always operate the Analyzer with the AC adapter while it is
not used in portable mode. A permanent connection to the
mains power is not detrimental to the integrated battery but
maintains its performance.
Connect unit to the 12 V supply cable when using in
vehicles.
For portable operation with low battery indication, connect
the charger and fully charge battery promptly.
Keep the unit connected to the charger when storing.
Remedy
Close the door.
