New version gas detector available from Draeger Safety Pacific
Dräger X-am 5000 gas detection instrument
The small gas detection instrument for up to 5 gases, the Dräger X-am 5000 available from Draeger Safety Pacific belongs to a new generation of gas detectors, developed especially for personal monitoring applications.
This 1 to 5-gas detector reliably measures combustible gases and vapours as well as oxygen and harmful concentrations of CO, H2S, CO2, Cl2, HCN, NH3, NO2, PH3 and SO2. It is the big brother of the Dräger X-am 2000 which does the standard four gases explosives, oxygen, H2S and CO.
For the Dräger X-am 5000 a variety of special calibrations for the catalytic ex sensor allow even more sensitivity when detecting specific combustible gases and vapours.
Utilising durable XXS sensor technology, the Dräger X-am 5000 offers maximum security combined with low operational costs.
Despite its advanced functionality, the Dräger X-am 5000's practical, mobile phone design and light weight, make it comfortable for users to carry.
Reduced to its essentials, the two button control panel and easy to follow menu system allow for intuitive use.
The Dräger X-am 5000 is equipped with the latest in the miniaturised XXS generation of high performance electrochemical DrägerSensors which are faster and longer lasting than other sensors. It is easy to exchange, upgrade or calibrate the sensors to other gases.
The ability to customise the Dräger X-am 5000's sensors makes it a versatile detector for many applications.
The catalytic ex sensor measures 0-100 % LEL and 0-100 vol.- % methane concentration. The calibration concept simplifies a calibration to vapours. When set for maximum sensitivity, the detector is even more reliable to warn about unknown hazards.
The Dräger X-am 5000 is tough: water and dust-resistant according to IP 67, the detector remains fully functional even after falling into water.
The integrated rubber protection and shock-proof sensors ensure additional resistance to impact and vibration. Moreover, the Dräger X-am 5000 is insensitive to electromagnetic interference.
The optional external pump, which operates with a flexible hose up to 20 M long, makes it possible to use the detector for pre-entry measurements for tanks, shafts, etc. The pump starts automatically when the detector is inserted.
Optimum solutions for function (bump) tests and calibrations are performed simply with a fast and professional function (bump) test.
The function test completes the documentation, users can choose from a range of practical, on-site solutions that offer maximum safety for every application.
The Dräger E-Cal automatic test and calibration station and the Dräger bump test station are ideal system extensions that save time and reduce workload.
Fresh air, mixed gas and single gas calibrations can be done directly using the Dräger X-am 5000 menu.
The Dräger X-am 5000 can be used with either the standard alkaline or rechargeable NIMH batteries.
In addition, it can be fitted with a T4 battery that can be charged while still inside the instrument. There is also a new energy saving function mode that allows the normal operation time of 12 plus hours to extend to over 48 hours.
The Dräger X-am 5000 is equipped as standard with a data logger for a massive 1000 hours of data storage. The data can be transmitted via infrared interface to a PC and analysed using the Dräger GasVision software which can also be used to customise reporting.
Gas inlets on two surfaces make it twice as reliable: the functional design ensures that gas can enter the instrument from the top and the front, so even if the Dräger X-am 5000 is accidentally put in a jacket pocket, it will still provide a reliable warning against gas hazards.
In alarm situations, the Dräger X-am 5000 provides three different types of warning: the audible multi-tone alarm is impossible to miss, while a visual 180° alarm helps ensure the warning is not ignored. Finally, the instrument also features a built in vibration alarm.
