New single-gas instrument
March 1st 2006

With an event logger for computer downloading, the new Draeger Pac 5000 single gas instrument is suitable for use by those with a need to carry out regular personal monitoring and record the results.

Easy to use, and maintenancefree for two years, it is said to ensure reliable monitoring of ambient air and is designed to detect carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide or oxygen.

Featuring a back-lit LCD that continuously shows the gas concentration in large digits, the small, robust unit incorporates Draeger XXS sensors. These do not have to be replaced for two years, ensure extremely short electrochemical reaction times and enable the unit to respond immediately to any gas hazard.

Equipped with vibrational, visual and two-tone audible alarms which are activated as soon as the threshold levels are reached, the Pac 5000 also emits an alarm before the end of the instrument's useable life and before the end of the battery capacity.
