Compact and maintenancefree detection of 1 to 5 gases
November 1st 2008 Flexible and easily adjusted to
suit the specific requirements
of different personal
monitoring applications, the
Draeger X-am gas detection
instrument provides accurate
measurement of 1 to 5 gases.
Lightweight and as small as a
mobile phone, it is maintenancefree
and ensures fast monitoring of
ambient air. Rugged and easy to
use, the ATEX-approved instrument
is said to offer low operational
costs.
Incorporating the latest
miniaturised XXS generation of
high performance sensors, the Xam
5000 can be fitted with up to
four sensors to detect up to five
gases at once. For example, by
using a catalytic Ex-sensor
together with two electrochemical
sensors and a combination, double
sensor for CO and H2S, it will
provide simultaneous
measurement of explosive gases
and vapours in addition to O2 and
other toxic gases.
As well as a wide range of
sensors to protect against CO,
H2S, CO2, Cl2, HCN, NH3, NO2,
PH3 and SO2, Draeger oxygen
sensors offer a five-year expected
lifetime, and the catalytic Ex
sensor, calibrated to methane, is
said to offer exceptional longevity.
It responds quickly to explosive
gases (additional calibrations are
available) and offers a high level of
sensitivity to combustible organic
vapours. As a result, it ensures
dependable warnings in the event
of explosive hazards.
The X-am 5000 has audible,
visual and vibrational alarms and is
dust and water resistant to IP67. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
