Area monitoring
without limits.
Dräger X-zone
®
5000
Area monitoring without limits – the Dräger X-zone 5000. In combination with the Dräger X-am 5000
or X-am 5600, the X-zone 5000 reliably monitors for up to six hazardous gases and warns at preset
levels. This easily transportable, robust and water-proof unit extends mobile gas detection technology to
a unique system with many applications.
INNOVATIVE AREA MONITORING
The Dräger X-zone 5000 transforms the Dräger
X-am 5000 or X-am 5600 personal gas detection
instrument
into an innovative area monitoring device
for a wide range of applications. A patented combi-
nation for increased safety – used with personal gas
air monitoring carried on the body or positioned
where gas hazards are expected, the X-zone 5000
area monitor knows no limits!
CLEAR ALARM - 360°
Even from a distance, the illuminated green LED ring
indicates that the air is free of toxic and combustible
gases. When gas hazards are detected, the LED
changes colors from green to red, providing a clear
visual warning that hazardous gas is present. In
addition, it emits a loud and audible evacuation
alarm. With a patented 360° alarm amplifier, the
acoustic warning is heard easily over a wide area,
independent of wind direction. The Dräger X-zone
5000 gas entry is arranged so that gas can diffuse
into the Dräger X-am 5000 or X-am 5600 from all
sides.
WIRELESS FENCE LINE
Up to 25 Dräger X-zones can be automatically
interconnected to form a wireless fence line. This
interconnection of the monitoring devices allows for
rapid securing of larger areas, e.g. leaking pipelines
or industrial tanks – or the monitoring required dur-
ing industrial shutdowns.
In the event of a gas alarm, the Dräger X-zone 5000
transmits alarm signals to all units that are part of the
fence line which then display a daughter alarm. The
original alarming unit shows a red LED along with its
audible alarm, while the daughter alarm displays
green/red with its illuminated LED ring. This provides
fast, easy recognition of the general alarm, while
identifying the unit which alarmed originally. This
assures a positive alert and a clear and clean
evacuation. Alternatively, the fence line can be wired.
AREA MONITORING – USING A SAMPLING PUMP
An optional integrated pump allows monitoring of
remote areas by pulling a sample to the device. This
provides continuous monitoring of confined spaces
and locations which are difficult to access – from a
distance of up to 150 ft. (45 m).
