Thermal exposure alarms
WARNING
Thermal exposure alarm 1 indicates that the wearer has been
subjected to a high level of thermal exposure. Evacuate to a safe
area immediately when the alarm sounds, and do not return to the
operation area once the alarm has activated.
The thermal exposure alarms are configured to meet the operational
needs of the user. The equipment owner must provide safe working
procedures based on the chosen thermal alarm settings.
When thermal exposure alarm 1 sounds, acknowledge and silence the
alarm by pressing the right-hand button ( ) and evacuate to a safe area
immediately. The red LEDs will continue to flash until the surrounding
temperature drops below the set start temperature.
Thermal exposure alarm 2 activates the full alarm signal, to indicate a very
high level of thermal exposure. Continue to evacuate as an emergency.
Once in a safe area, cancel the full alarm as normal.
3.3
After use
Do not remove or switch off the unit until in safe area clear of hazards.
1. Disconnect the unit from the harness strap or from protective clothing if
necessary.
○ To disconnect the harness clamp, use a flat-bladed screwdriver,
with a blade width of 3 mm or wider (Fig 9 or Fig 10).
○ To disconnect the adaptor from the universal accessory clip use a
2.5 mm hexagon key (Fig 11).
2. Carry out a functional test (see Section 3.4.1).
3. Clean the unit if necessary (see Section 5.1).
4. Store the unit in accordance with the storage instructions (see
Section 6).

Common user tasks
3.4.1
Functional test
WARNING
Failure of the equipment to meet any of the standards or
parameters in the functional test, or any visible signs of damage,
indicates a possible system fault. Report the fault to trained
maintenance personnel or contact Dräger. Do not use the
Bodyguard
®
1500 unless it is fully serviceable.
CAUTION
Sounder volume is very high. Warn personnel in the immediate
vicinity and wear suitable hearing protection to prevent hearing
damage when testing the Bodyguard
®
1500.
1. Check that the Bodyguard
®
1500 is clean and undamaged. Typical signs
of damage that may affect the operation of the unit include impact,
abrasion, cutting, corrosion and discolouration.
2. Switch on the unit. (How to switch on the unit is described in
Section 3.2.1 and how to cancel alarms is shown in Fig 8.)
3. Ensure start-up signal occurs (four beeps, and brief illumination of all
LEDs) and then the green (active) LED and the blue (buddy-beacon)
LEDs operate.
4. Immobilize the unit and check that the pre-alert starts in
21 to 25 seconds. Move the unit to cancel the alert.
5. Immobilize the unit again and ignore pre-alert, check that the full alarm
starts approximately 8 seconds after the pre-alert.
6. Cancel the alarm.
7. Operate the manual alarm.
8. Cancel the alarm.
9. If the Bodyguard
®
1500 is to be used with a TX Gauge, ensure that the
unit and gauge are paired (see Section 3.4.3) and carry out the
following:
a. Ensure that the TX Gauge and Bodyguard
®
1500 are switched off.
b. Open the breathing apparatus cylinder valve. Check that the
Bodyguard
®
1500 turns on within 10 seconds of the TX Gauge
passing the self check.
c. Simultaneously press the left ( ) and right-hand ( ) buttons of the
Bodyguard
®
1500. The unit should remain active (switched on)
while the TX Gauge is switched on.
d. Press and hold the TX Gauge illumination button ( ) button for
10 seconds. Check that paired Bodyguard
®
1500 emits a long
beep.

Battery installation or replacement
WARNING
Danger of explosion or fire. Do not remove or install the batteries
in an explosive or flammable atmosphere.
Explosion, fire or chemical hazard. Do not expose the batteries to
heat sources, do not attempt to recharge any non-rechargeable
battery and do not short out the battery terminals.
Risk of explosion if a battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Use
only the recommended battery type.
CAUTION
Environmental hazard. Dispose of used batteries in accordance
with national or local regulations.
● Use only the recommended battery type: Panasonic
®
CR123A (3 V
lithium). Other batteries may not provide the same operating life, and
will invalidate approvals.
● Replace the batteries with a matching set. Do not mix new and used
batteries.
● Remove discharged batteries from the product.
● To preserve the accuracy of the datalog clock, install new batteries within
30 seconds of removing the discharged batteries.
1. Remove the rear cover using a 2.5 mm hexagon key, and remove the
discharged batteries (Fig 12).
2. Note the polarity shown in the battery compartment and install the new
batteries.
3. Check the cover and sealing ring. Lightly coat the sealing ring with
silicone grease (as a guideline, the grease should be felt on the fingers
but not seen).
4. Align and refit the cover. Gently tighten (nip up) the screws. Dräger
recommend a torque of 0.5 Nm (0.4 lbf ft) – do not
over tighten.
5. Carry out a functional test (see Section 3.4.1).
3.4.3
Pairing with a TX Gauge
1. Ensure that the TX Gauge and Bodyguard
®
1500 are switched off.
2.
Bodyguard
®
1500:
Press and hold the left-hand button ( ) of the
Bodyguard
®
1500 for approximately 3 seconds until the green (active)
LED illuminates continuously. Release the left-hand button ( ).
3.
TX Gauge:
Press and hold the gauge illumination button ( ) of the TX
Gauge. After approximately 6 seconds the green (active) and white
LEDs illuminate continuously and the red LED starts flashing.
4.
Both devices:
Immediately
bring the gauge face and
yellow
button ( )
into
contact with each other (see
Fig 13) and then release the
gauge
illumination
button ( ).
If pairing succeeds, the
following signals occur before
the devices automatically
switch off:
○ Bodyguard
®
1500 – blue
LEDs flashing and the unit
emits 4 long beeps.
○ TX Gauge – alternating
white and green/amber flashing LEDs.
If pairing is not successful, the following signals occur before the
devices automatically switch off:
○ Bodyguard
®
1500 – red LEDs flashing and the unit emits 8 short
beeps.
○ TX Gauge – alternating flashing red and amber LEDs.
If pairing does not occur within 25 seconds, the following signals occur:
○ TX Gauge – alternating flashing red and amber LEDs, and the unit
automatically switches off.
○ Bodyguard
®
1500 – enters active mode as described in
section 3.2.2.
NOTICE
If pairing is not successful, restart the pairing procedure. Any pre-
existing pairing information is retained by the Bodyguard
