Area gas monitor hire for site-wide alarm coverage

The Dräger X-zone 5800 is an explosion-proof area gas monitor that turns a portable X-am gas detector into a quasi-stationary monitoring station with a 108 dB alarm and wireless alarm forwarding.

  • Area gas monitor that amplifies the alarm of the inserted X-am gas detector to 108 dB and a 360° LED alarm ring, visible and audible across the whole work area
  • Up to 25 units link automatically by radio – if one unit alarms, every unit in the chain alarms, so a warning travels across a large site in seconds
  • Up to 120 hours of operation from the 24 Ah battery, enough for a full working week without recharging
  • Robust and rugged: IP67 protection, approved for Zone 0, 1 and 2

How wireless area gas monitoring works

A Dräger X-am gas detector is placed inside the X-zone. The X-zone takes over its readings and amplifies the alarm, while the LED ring signals the status at a distance: green for normal operation, red for alarm. The radio connection between units establishes itself automatically – no configuration, no cabling, no commissioning by a specialist.

This version is supplied as the 868 MHz variant with 24 Ah battery and pump.

Integrated pump for clearance measurement

The pump version draws samples through up to 30 m of hose at 0.5 l/min, so a shaft or vessel can be cleared from outside before anyone enters, and monitored continuously afterwards.
