Accurate and easy to use, the Dräger Pac
®
3500 and the Dräger Pac
®
5500 are
ideal for industrial personal monitoring applications. Providing quick detection of
carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide or oxygen, these robust single gas detectors
are made specifically to fit industrial safety requirements. The small, ergonomic
Dräger Pac
®
3500 has a lifetime of 2 years, while the Dräger Pac
®
5500 has no
lifetime limitation.

SMALL AND ROBUST HOUSING
Small in size and light in weight, the
Dräger Pac
®
3500 and the Dräger Pac
®
5500 were developed with the needs of
industrial users and applications in mind.
The instruments provide easy, single-
handed operation, even when wearing
gloves, and is designed to withstand the
toughest environments. The impact-
resistant rubber housing is impervious to
corrosive chemicals and meets the
requirements of IP 66/67 to ensure oper-
ation even when sprayed with water.
SAFETY FIRST
To ensure continuous operation even
when the unit is in a shirt pocket, the
instrument’s sensor has been carefully
positioned to allow gas intake from both
the top and the front of the device.
MINIATURE SENSOR TECHNOLOGY
The latest miniature Dräger XXS sensor
technology has been incorporated into
both the Dräger Pac
®
3500 and the
Dräger Pac
®
5500. Dräger XXS sensors
have been specifically developed for use
in personal monitoring and handheld
applications. These innovative sensors,
which offer a long, expected life span
from 5 to 8 years, combine high perform-
ance with a fast reaction time of just ten
seconds.
HIGHLY VISIBLE DISPLAY
The large display, easily seen at a glance,
shows both the gas concentration and
the measurement unit. Alternatively, the
instrument can be configured to show
only the gas detected. The concentration
is displayed only when the set alarm level
has been exceeded. Language-free to
avoid any misunderstanding, the continu-
ous numeric display can also be back-lit
to improve readability in darker environ-
ments.
WARNINGS AND ALARMS
In addition to a vibrating alarm, these
instruments emit an audible, multi-tone
signal and a clear, 360° visual alarm via
bright, flashing LEDs at the top and base
of the instrument. The alarm threshold
levels can be individually adjusted to
comply with company policy or other
standards using Dräger software.
EVENT LOGGER
These monitors are complete with an
infrared interface and are able to store up
to 60 events with dates and times. They
can be easily linked to a PC via a
connecting cradle. This means that
significant events such as switching on or
off, gas and battery alarms, error codes,
configuration changes, fresh air calibra-
tions and bump tests can be down-
loaded, printed and stored centrally for
future reference or reporting purposes.
