Draeger X-am 5600 IR LEL / CO2

*Used by the FDNY*

Featuring an ergonomic design and innovative infrared sensor technology, the Draeger X-am 5600 is the smallest gas detection instrument for the measurement of up to 6 gases. Ideal for personal monitoring applications, this robust and water-tight detector provides accurate, reliable measurements of explosive, combustible and toxic gases and vapors as well as oxygen. 

Small yet robust

Small, light and easy to use - the robust and water-tight gas detector X-am 5600 is designed for single-handed operation in tough industrial environments. Water and dustproof according to IP67 and with an integrated rubber boot, the device provides optimal functionality even under harsh conditions.

Durable infrared technology

Thanks to high stability and a resistance to contamination, Draeger infrared sensors can generally be used for up to 8 years. This advanced technology reduces the cost of ownership considerably because less replacement sensors are needed. In addition, a sensor calibration is only necessary every 12 months which reduces maintenance costs.

Single or dual sensor - accurate measurement results

The infrared sensor IR Ex allows the measurement of explosive, combustible hydrocarbons in the range of the lower explosive limit. The infrared sensor IR CO2, with a measurement resolution of 0.01 Vol -%, provides safe and exact measurements as well as a warning against toxic concentrations of carbon dioxide in the ambient air. For those applications where the reliable measurement of explosive substances and CO2 is specifically needed, the advantages of both can be achieved by a dual sensor.

Also in combination with hydrogen

Besides hydrocarbons, hydrogen can also be an explosive gas. Because sensors based on infrared technology do not warn against hydrogen explosive dangers, the gas detector X-am 5600 combines two sensor signals (infrared Ex and electrochemical H2) for reliable hydrogen detection. The X-am 5600 provides the advantages of poison-free technology to be used in areas where, until now, only catalytic Ex sensors have been used.

Flexible use 

An optimal external pump which can be operated with hoses up to 147 ft in length is the perfect solution for pre-entry measurements in tanks or pipelines. To monitor entire areas , the gas detector X-am 5600 can be used in combination with the innovative air monitor Draeger X-zone 5500.

Suitable for Ex-Zone 0

The small and reliable gas detector is suitable for use in areas classified as zone 0, which are areas where explosive atmospheres are always to be expected.
