Dräger x-am 8000 Basic Instrument Gas Detector
Detects toxic gases, oxygen, flammable gases and vapours. Designed specifically for clearance measurements, with easy switch between diffusion and pump mode.
Details:
- • Handy and durable, the Dräger X-am® 8000 is intuitive to operate single-handedly using three function keys. The easy-to-read colour display clearly lays out all the information for you. Thanks to its compact and robust construction, the device can withstand even the harshest conditions.
- • During clearance measurement, the smart assistant calculates the necessary flooding time for the device and probe (FKM hose) based on parameters such as measuring gases, temperature limits, and the indicated hose length. When monitoring for high methane concentrations, an optional automatic measurement range switch makes it easier to take a reading: if the Cat-Ex sensor measures values above 100% LEL, the display switches to the range of 0 to 100 vol%.
- • Bumptest and calibration are carried out simply and quickly using the Dräger X-dock® calibrating station. Its low test gas consumption keeps operating costs to a minimum. Its reporting function and numerous other useful features make the X-dock Manager PC software a smart addition to any fleet management operation.
- • To measure hard-to-detect hydrocarbons, you can fit the Dräger X-am 8000 with one of two high-performance PID sensors. The PID HC covers a measurement range of 0 to 2,000 ppm (Isobutene). The PID LC ppb is particularly suited for a measurement range of 0 to 10 ppm (Isobutene) with a low resolution in the range below 1 ppm. For benzene-specific measurements, the X-am 8000 can be used with a pre-tube. The advantage: you only need one measuring device for this application, which significantly reduces the costs of purchasing, maintaining and transporting devices in use.
- • The X-am 8000 features inductive charging. This makes it easier to operate and increases the lifespan of the device. You can charge (outside of explosion-hazard zones) and measure at once, e.g, when in use inside vehicles or on machinery. The charging cradle can connect with one another, taking up minimal space, and are compatible with existing Dräger X-am® series cradles.
Clear Signalling Design:
The signal system of the Dräger X-am 8000 is based on a clear colour code:
- • Red light = gas alarm
- • Yellow light = device-related alarm, e.g. low battery
- • Green light = device is ready for use
