The Draeger X-Zone 5000
brings portable gas detection to a new level with an explosion proof area monitoring device for use in hazardous areas. 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. Unlike personal gas detectors, area monitoring devices can be located well within an explosion hazard area, even during a gas alarm. The approvals for X-zone 5000 enable the continuous operation of the device in an explosive atmosphere and environment.
