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.
