Feature Health & safety Smallest portable gas detector
The Draeger X-am 5600 is said to be the smallest portable gas detection instrument for the measurement of up to six gases. With an ergonomic mobile phone design, it fea- tures innovative infrared (IR) sensor technology and mea- sures explosive, combustible and toxic gases and vapours, as well as oxygen.
Light yet robust, the 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 innova- tive Draeger IR sensors and the latest Draeger XXS miniaturised electro- chemical sensors, the Draeger X-am 5600 can detect a 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 hydro- gen sulphide (H2S), Draeger IR sen- sors are said to ensure dependable warnings against explosive and com- bustible hazards such as hydrocar-
bons and carbon dioxide. Offering a low cost of owner- ship, they offer an extended sensor life of up to eight years, twice as long as cat- alytic Ex sensors. In addition, they only require calibration every 12 months and, as a result, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Designed with 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. A large illuminated display means that readings can be seen at a glance and retro-reflective panels ensure easy location in the dark or in water. With a clear 360˚ visual alarm, the unit automatically emits vibrat- ing and multi-tone audible alarms as soon as a gas is detected. Equipped with a data logger, the unit also allows data to a PC for analysis. Draeger Safety UK T: 01670 561200
