Draeger releases wireless gas monitors

Draeger Safety Pacific will release a new wireless monitor for the measurement of up to six gases during GME at the Kalgoorlie Boulder Racecourse from October 26-28, 2010.

The Dräger X-Zone 5000 transforms Dräger’s portable X-am 5000 and X-am 5600 personal gas detectors into innovative area monitors.

The easily transportable, robust and waterproof Dräger X-Zone 5000 communicates over 100m and can have up to 25 interconnected units for wireless fence line monitoring.

This allows for the fast securing of larger areas such as pipelines or industrial tanks.

The Dräger  X-Zone 5000 also features an illuminated LED ring that shows green when an area is free of toxic and combustible gases and changes to red when hazardous gas is detected, thus providing a clear visual warning that gas is present.

The Dräger X-Zone 5000 also incorporates an 110dB alarm for enhanced safety.

The Dräger X-Zone 5000 can be supplied with an integrated pump with a range of 45 metres for the continuous monitoring of areas during pump operation.

Dräger will also feature its newest and smallest detector with infrared sensors, the Dräger X-am 5600 at GME.

"Infrared sensors have some clear advantages over traditional catalytic explosive sensors," Dräger’s Kate Leahy said.

"Infrared sensors can not be compromised by either silicone or sulphides so they last much longer," she said.

Further, calibration periods for the X-am 5600 can be extended to 12 months and the detector has a five-year warranty.

The company offers post-sale maintenance and repair services both on-site and at its workshops across Australia and New Zealand.
