Measures up to six gases
November 1st 2010 The Draeger X-am 5600 is believed to
be the smallest portable gas detection
instrument for the measurement of
up to six gases.With an
ergonomic mobile phone
design, it features infrared (IR)
sensor technology and provides
accurate, reliable
measurements of explosive,
combustible and toxic gases
and vapours, as well as oxygen.
Suitable for personal
monitoring applications, the
light yet robust detector is
designed for single-handed
operation in tough industrial
environments and is ATEX
approved for use in explosive
areas classified as Zone 0.
By using a combination of Draeger
IR sensors and the latest Draeger XXS
miniaturised electrochemical sensors,
the Draeger X-am 5600 can
detect a wide variety of
hazards. These include O2,
CO,H2S,H2 , CO2, Cl2,
HCN, NH3, NO,NO2, PH3,
SO2 and organic vapours.
Designed with the
utmost safety in mind, the
Draeger X-am 5600
features gas inlets on both
the top and front to ensure
reliable warning of a
hazard, even if a gas inlet is
accidentally covered or it is
inadvertently placed inside
a jacket pocket. More articles from Draeger Safety UK Limited: |
