Operating as an all-round safety
network, the new Draeger X-zone
5000 uses wireless technology to
automatically connect multiple
monitors for continuous detection of
toxic, combustible and explosive gases.
These transportable units are quick to deploy and easy to set up.
Issuing a loud alarm as soon as a gas is detected, they change colour to identify the alarm status. Areas where gas has been detected are indicated by red alarms. Safe atmospheres, and therefore a safe escape route, are confirmed by green alarms.
As soon as one of the units detects a gas it immediately transmits an alarm to each of the others. Up to 25 Draeger X-zones can be used at any one time, forming a complete wireless network to suit the application, including those where an explosion hazard might exist. The unit can be fitted with up to four sensors to detect as many as five gases at once.
Draeger X-zone 5000 can be left in situ for up to 120h continuous operation.
