Highlights

Strong performance for maximum safety

You can count on the Dräger Pac 8500 to give you reliable, precise readings at any time even under extreme conditions. Our powerful sensors with a low t-90 response time ensure quick reactions. In addition to the standard alarms, you can define extra alarm thresholds for TLV®/TWA* and STEL*.The Pac 8500 also provides a data and event logger for logging concentrations and events along with the date and time. The data can be loaded on a PC via an interface and processed further there. With the new Gas Detection Connect system – and thus the integrated X-dock stations – you can view and download the logs from a central cloud-based asset management system. Available anytime from anywhere.*TLV®/TWA = Threshold Limit Values / Time Weighted Average, STEL = Short Term Exposure Limit

Convert to two-gas detection device using a dual sensor

Your single-gas detection device can become a two-gas device when a dual sensor is used. The Dräger Pac 8500 series offers the following sensor combinations: hydrogen sulphide with carbon monoxide or oxygen with carbon monoxide. Dual sensors enable d etection of even low concentrations – and all in one and the same handy device. Measuring two gases at the same time reduces downtime as well. You can take vol.% measurements of oxygen and ppm measurements of carbon monoxide simultaneously using just one sensor.

Measurement of carbon monoxide with significantly reduced cross sensitivity

In industries where carbon monoxide needs to be measured with hydrogen as a background gas, the measured value for carbon monoxide may be falsified by cross sensitivity. Thanks to the special hydrogen-compensated CO sensor from Dräger, this cross sen sitivity to hydrogen is significantly reduced in the display of carbon monoxide.

Robust design – even for the toughest conditions

The Pac 8500 can easily handle even extreme conditions. The sensors can tolerate air pressures between 700 and 1,300 mbar. A membrane filter protects the sensor from foreign matter such as dust and liquids. The shock-proof, chemical-resistant housing meets the requirements specified in the IP68 standard rating.

Easy handling thanks to clear user guidance

The D-Light indicates whether functionality of the device has been tested and if it is ready to use. The housing is also designed with your safety in mind: each sensor variant of the Dräger Pac 8500 features clearly visible colour coding, thereby min imising the chance of mistakes.

User-friendly display with all important information

The large display is word-free and clearly indicates the respective gas concentration. Other important information, such as the unit of concentration and battery capacity, is also displayed. The bright backlighting ensures that all values are clearly legible in the dark.

360° alarm with various functions

If the Dräger Pac 8500 measures hazardous gas concentrations, it sets off an audible, visual and perceptible vibrating alarm. Two bright, flashing LEDs on the top and bottom of the device ensure that the alarm is easily visible from all sides. The ac oustic signal reaches a volume of 90 dB. The display can show the peak concentration measured at any given moment. Earlier alarms registered can also be retrieved at a later time even if they have been acknowledged.The Pac 8500 with oxygen sensor has two additional alarm thresholds in addition to the standard alarm threshold settings.

Data logger and event logger for analyses and reports

The Dräger Pac 6500 logs concentrations and events along with date and time. The data can easily be transferred to a computer for further processing. With the new Gas Detection Connect system – and thus the integrated X-dock stations – you can view a nd download the logs from a central cloud-based asset management system. Available anytime from anywhere.
