Dräger X-am 7000:
Multiple gas measurement capabilities
in one compact package.
The Dräger X-am 7000 Monitor combines electrochemical (EC), catalytic oxida-
tion (CAT), photo ionization (PID) and infrared (IR) sensing technology for a total
of up to 5 sensors. You can choose from over 25 different electrochemical
Dräger-Sensors
®
, 3 different catalytic sensors, a PID Sensor and 3 different IR
sensors.
The Dräger X-am 7000 is the smallest gas
monitor in the world that can utilize all of
these technologies in one compact pack-
age. The multiple gas measurement and
internal pump capabilities make this unit
an ideal choice for confined space entry
applications like those found in refineries,
chemical plants, utility passage ways, and
paper mills.
The Dräger X-am 7000 Monitor has many
“strengths”. The strong internal pump can
draw gases from well over 150 ft. (45 m).
This is useful for deep ship holds, large
storage silos or reaction towers in refiner-
ies. The integrated rubber boot and
strong advanced polymer enclosure of
the Dräger X-am 7000 withstands the
toughest industrial environments, provid-
ing good resistance against dust, RFI
interference, rain, and extreme tempera-
tures. Loud audible and bright visual
alarms warn the user that hazardous levels
of gas are present. The standard NiMH
battery pack will last well in excess of an
8-hour shift and the optional high capacity
battery will allow operation times of
greater than 20 hours.
Another strength of the Dräger X-am 7000
is the optional IR Sensor. The infrared
combustible gas (IR-Ex) sensor meas-
ures a wide range of hydrocarbons.
However, unlike catalytic sensors, the IR
sensor will measure hydrocarbons in
inert backgrounds (without oxygen). The
IR-Ex is very good at measuring heavier
hydrocarbons (like turpentine, kerosene
and jet fuels) from ppm to %LEL levels.
Gases that poison catalytic sensors such
as H
2
S, halogenated hydrocarbons, and
silicones have no effect on the IR-Ex
Sensor making it ideal for industries that
make or use these types of compounds.
Gases like methane and propane can be
measured in ppm, %LEL, and %Vol.
measurement ranges (with the same
instrument), which make the X-am 7000
well suited for the natural gas industry.
The IR-CO
2
sensor makes the X-am 7000
the ideal choice for breweries, carbonated
beverage bottlers, and bulk gas handlers
who need to measure Carbon Dioxide.
The IR-CO
2
sensor detects from low ppm
levels to %Vol. concentrations of CO
2
.
The smart PID sensor measuring a wide
range of VOC’s up to 5,000 ppm,
depending on the gas selected. The
Dräger X-am 7000 has 20 compounds
pre-programmed in its library and 3 user
programmable entries available. This
sensor is well suited for confined space
entry, area monitoring and HazMat
applications.
