Application instructions for the Dräger Gas Detection Training App The Dräger Gas Detection Training App simulates various gas measuring devices in a trainer/trainee situation. The devices must be on the same WLAN (e.g. "hotspot" of a smartphone) to conduct training. Use with one mobile device: If you only have one mobile device available, use demo mode to simulate gas alarms from gas measuring devices on a mobile device. Use with multiple mobile devices: To start trainer or student mode, you first need to enter a username. You should be logged on to one of the devices as a trainer. The other devices should be started in student mode. After the trainer has logged on, a selection of various gas detectors is displayed. The training begins once a device has been selected. From this point on the students can log on with the trainer. The trainer can then send gas values to the student devices for the various gas detector sensors by selecting the current gas value. There is then the option of changing the value or using one of three preset values. Two of these values correspond to an alarm situation (A1, A2). These values are sent directly to the student devices. The students view the gas detector on the display once they have started the training. They are shown a simulation of the gas detector alarm status on their mobile device with sound and vibration. The visual display (LEDs and display) of the gas detector is shown on the device display. The trainer can also trigger device alarms (warning, fault and battery alarm) by tapping the values field of the “Device error”. The student can clear alarms on the display if permitted. Within the app it is possible to create customized instrument settings (sensors, alarm levels and alarm acknowledgement) and customized scenarios for defined instruments for training.

About

Gas Meter Training Simulator

Features
Read full description

Gas Meter Simulator puts a working simulated multi-gas instrument in your pocket so firefighters, HazMat technicians, and instructors can build realistic air-monitoring judgment without burning calibration gas or tying up a live meter. Run it solo to learn the instrument, or connect two devices: one trainee holds the meter as the Sampler while an instructor drives the atmosphere as the Controller. BUILD A SCENARIO Generate a brand-new training mission on demand. Pick an incident type, chemical, quantity, container, cause of release, and conditions, and the app builds a full mission complete with chemical properties, weather, decon guidance, notifications, and distractors. Every mission you generate is saved automatically. SPATIAL SCENARIOS Preprogram how every gas reads as a crew moves from the street to the source. The trainee drags a position slider, or an instructor advances them stop by stop, and the meter tells the story of the atmosphere in real time. A library of 23 built-in incidents ships with the app: carbon monoxide, ammonia, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, phosphine, ozone, fuel and solvent vapor, confined-space asphyxiants, clandestine labs, a working fire, and a worst-case unknown atmosphere. REAL EXPOSURE ALARMS STEL and TWA alarms track true time-weighted exposure the way a real multi-gas detector does, not a simple threshold. An Accelerated TWA toggle lets instructors compress the averaging window for a classroom demonstration without waiting out a full shift. BUILD YOUR METER Before a run, the trainee chooses which sensors their instrument carries, from quick presets to any custom array. A crew on a standard 5-gas rig and a crew on a corrosive loadout see the very same incident in completely different ways, driving home the lesson that your sensor array has to match the call. TRUE SENSOR BEHAVIOR Every incident is modeled as a full atmosphere. Cross-sensitivity artifacts read on the channels they actually affect, so trainees learn to spot a false cyanide reading driven by an acid gas, a carbon monoxide ghost from hydrogen, or a chlorine number that is really an oxidizer. Readings also shift with sampling height, so heavier-than-air gases climb with the nozzle down and lighter-than-air gases with the nozzle up. ALSO INSIDE A sensor training library covering the full detector suite. Guided scenarios with stop-and-think coaching and debriefs. A meter operation guide and diagnostic pattern reference. Scenario import from a simple text file. Alarm lights, peak and min capture, fresh-air calibration, and pump-fault drills. Built by working responders for the way monitoring is actually taught. Not a game. A trainer.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Dräger Gas Detection Training at Free against Gas Meter Training Simulator's $0.99. Dräger Gas Detection Training also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.0). Gas Meter Training Simulator's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 7 months). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
