Multi-gas Detector X-am 5000 Complete Package Ex (Catalytic), O2, CO, H2S
Key Features and Benefits of the X-am 5000 Set
The Dräger X-am 5000 is a 1–5 gas detector that measures combustible gases and vapors (Ex, catalytic), oxygen, CO, and H2S. It detects hazardous substances even at low concentrations. Lightweight, ergonomic two-button operation and flexible sensor configuration enhance usability. Durable, poisoning‑resistant sensors, IP67 water/dust protection, optional external pump, and easy bump test/calibration support reliable use and safety.

Application Areas for Portable Gas Detection
Portable gas detection instruments are subject to very diverse requirements. Different application areas require solutions tailored to the measurement task, which also take into account the respective ambient conditions.
It is generally possible to distinguish between the following application areas:
Personal monitoring
These devices are designed to warn the wearer about gas risks in the immediate vicinity. For this reason, they are usually worn on work clothing. The basic requirements that these units therefore have to fulfill are wearing comfort, durability, and reliability. Continuously measuring single-gas and multi-gas instruments are suitable for this kind of work.
Area monitoring
In contrast to the personal gas detector area monitors will be placed at central or critical locations to monitor workspaces optimally and independently from persons. For this, the basic requirements are robustness, stability and excellent alarm awareness (optical and acoustic) as well as a longest possible battery runtime. Increased security level can be achieved by connecting the area monitors to wireless alarm chains and by transferring the measurement values from instrument to instrument as well as to mobile terminals.
Confined space entry
Maintenance and repair work often require people to climb into confined spaces. These areas of work can be especially dangerous because of the lack of space, the lack of ventilation, and the presense or development of hazardous substances. A clearance measurement is required before entry. Multi-gas instruments are used together with corresponding pumps and accessories such as hoses and probes. After a successful measurement where no hazards have been found, the same instruments can be used for continuous personal monitoring while working in the confined space.
Leak detection
Leakages can occur wherever gases or liquids are stored or transported. It is important to identify leakages quickly so that the appropriate measures can be taken to avert harm to people, the environment, and the facility. Detection devices combined with corresponding pumps must be able to respond quickly so as to detect small changes in concentration. High levels of reliability are another minimum requirement for these measuring instruments.
Calibration and Bump Testing Functionality tests
Required function tests before each use are performed using the Dräger test and calibration stations along with the corresponding test gases.
If you wish for a customized alarm threshold configuration and/or an adjustment of the Ex sensor, please specify the alarm thresholds and the target gas calibration at the end of the ordering process in the comment field.
You can also rent bump test equipment for temporary assignments, projects or additional testing tasks. Click here to see our range of products.
