State-of-the-art area monitoring – the Dräger X-zone 5000, in combination with the Dräger X-am 5000 or 5600 gas detection instruments, can be used for the measurement of up to six gases and extends the portable gas detection technology to a unique system with many applications.

Benefits

Innovative area monitoring

• The Dräger X-zone 5000 transforms the Dräger personal gas detection instruments X-am 5000/5600 into innovative area monitoring devices for a wide range of applications. A patented combination for increased safety – in addition to the personal air monitors carried on the body, these area monitors are positioned where gas hazards are expected.

Wireless fenceline

• Up to 25 Dräger X-zone 5000 can be automatically interconnected to form a wireless fenceline. The interconnection of the area monitoring devices allows for rapid establishment of safety networks for larger areas. A Dräger X-zone 5000 detecting a gas alarm transmits the alarm signal to all interconnected units. A red flashing master alarm in the mother unit detecting gas contrasts with red/green flashing alarms of the connected daughter units providing simple recognition of alarm status and the actual location of the hazard.

Continuous operation for up 120 hours

• Two different types of rechargeable batteries enable the Dräger X-zone 5000 to be adapted to a variety of applications: the 12 Ah battery, with a total weight of only 7 kg (15 lbs.), offers continuous operation for up to 60 hours; and the alternative 24 Ah battery, with a total weight of 10 kg (22 lbs.) provides up to 120 hours of continuous operation – a complete working week.

Other benefits

• 360° gas entry
• Approval for Ex-zone 0 (with Switch On or Switch Off for Ex-zone 1)
• Daily function test and calibration not required after single on-site testing
• Individually configurable with the Dräger CC-Vision PC software (e.g. alarm frequency)
• Inductive charging station: easy and convenient non-contact charging
• Clear warning

Even from a distance, the illuminated green LED ring indicates that the air is free of toxic and combustible gases. Upon detection of gas hazards, the LED color changes from green to red, thus providing a clear visual warning that gas is present. Additionally, a loud and highly audible evacuation alarm is emitted. The Dräger X-zone 5000 gas entry is arranged that the gas can diffuse into the Dräger X-am 5000/5600 from all sides.

Area monitoring – even with a pump

• An optional integrated pump allows for continuous monitoring of areas during pump operation. This provides continuous monitoring of confined spaces and locations which are difficult to access – from a distance of up to 45 m (150 ft).

Dräger switching station X-zone Switch On/Switch Off

• The accessory Switch On or Switch Off box provides a cost-effective, fast and easy way of increasing safety during external work in Ex-zone 1. In the event of an alarm, the Switch Off box automatically cuts off the power supply in just seconds, for instance, to a welder. In the case of danger, the Switch On box responds immediately by activating, for instance, a traffic light for access control or ventilation. The corresponding switching station can be easily connected to the Dräger X-zone 5000 via the potential-free alarm contact.
