Compact gas detector

The new 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 has infrared 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 lightweight 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 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.

Immune to poisons such as H2S, the IR sensors offer a low cost of ownership and only require calibration every 12 months.
