It is easy to exchange, upgrade or calibrate the sensors to other gases. The ability to customize the Dräger X-am 5000's sensors makes more applications possible, including rental equipment.
For improved safety when facing unknown and potentially explosive hazards – the Dräger X-am 5000 provides dependable warnings in the event of explosive atmospheres thanks to the high level of sensitivity of the innovative catalytic Ex sensor. It not only responds quickly to explosive gases and combustible organic vapors, but is also highly resistant against sensor poisons such as silicone and hydrogen sulfide. In combination with its long term stability this offers an extraordinary long expected sensor lifetime of more than 4 years. This reduces your operational costs.
The Dräger X-am 5000 is equipped with powerful and durable Dräger sensors.
The Dräger X-am 5000 is water and dust resistant according to IP 67 standards. This means that the detector remains fully functional and ready for use even after being dropped into water. The integrated rubber protection and shock-proof sensors provi de additional resistance to impact and vibration. Moreover, the Dräger X-am 5000 is resistant to electromagnetic interference.
The optional external pump, which operates with a hose up to 45 meters long, makes it possible to use the detector for pre-entry measurements into confined spaces such as tanks, shafts, etc. The pump starts automatically when the detector is attached .
In combination with the Dräger X-zone 5500/5800 the gas detector can be used for various area monitoring applications. Up to 25 Dräger X-zone 5500/5800 units can be automatically interconnected to form a wireless fenceline. This interconnection of th e area monitoring devices allows fast securing of larger areas, e.g. pipelines or industrial tanks – even within the scope of industrial shutdowns.
Simple, fast and professional: from a function or bump test to complete documentation, users can choose from a range of practical, on-site solutions that offer maximum safety for every application. The automatic test and calibration station Dräger X- dock 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.
