Dräger X-zone® 5000

Product benefits

Innovative area monitoring

The Dräger X-zone 5000 transforms the Dräger personal gas detection instruments X-am 5000 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.

Clear alarms – 360°

Even from a distance, the illuminated green LED ring indicates that the air is clean. Upon detection of gas hazards, the LED colour 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 from all sides.

Wireless fence line

Up to 25 Dräger X-zone 5000 can be automatically interconnected to form a wireless fence line. This interconnection of area monitoring devices allow for the fast securing of larger areas. In the event of a gas alarm, the Dräger X-zone 5000 transmits the alarm signal to all units that are part of the fence line which then signal a daughter alarm. The daughter alarm is, in contrast to the red master alarm, displayed green/red by the illuminated LED ring, thus allowing and providing for a fast and easy recognition of the alarm itself as well as of the alarm-triggering area monitoring device.

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.).

Alarm contact to connect to external equipment

Via the potential-free alarm contact, the Dräger X-zone 5000 device can also be interconnected and operate external equipment such as alarm horns, lamps or traffic lights. In addition, the fence line signal, together with the alarm contact, can be forwarded to a control room – overseeing a wide range of applications.

Available for use in Ex-zone 0

Unlike personal gas detectors, area monitoring devices often stay located well within an explosion hazard area, even during a gas alarm. Therefore, it is important that the devices are approved for use in explosion hazard areas or zone 0. The approvals for X-zone 5000 enable the continuous operation of the device in an explosive atmosphere and environment.

Continuous operation for up to 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.
