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 the high stability and a resistance to contamination, Dräger infrared sensors can generally be used
for up to eight 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 (Dual IR CO2/Ex).
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 explosion 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.
Various monitoring possibilities
Thanks to the combination of innovative infrared technology and the latest electrochemical Dräger XXS
miniature sensors, this 1-to-6 gas detector reliably detects explosive, combustible and harmful concentrations
of O2, Cl2, CO, CO2, H2, H2S, HCN, NH3, NO, NO2, PH3, SO2, O3, Amine, Odorant, COCl2 and organic
vapors. With the PC software Dräger CC-Vision, the sensors can easily be exchanged, calibrated or converted
to meet the needs of different applications.
Flexible use
An optional external pump which can be operated with hoses up to 45 m / 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 Dräger X-zone 5500.
