Area gas monitor - X-zone 5500

The Dräger X-zone area gas monitor assets

Innovative area surveillance

The Dräger X-zone 5500 can be used in combination with the X-am 5000, X-am 5100 or X-am 5600 portable gas detectors and can monitor from 1 to 6 gases. It is an innovative and powerful device that integrates a portable gas detector into the area gas monitor to form a unique and flexible system.

Up to 120 hours of continuous runtime

The 24 Ah battery of the X-zone 5500 offers high continuous operation that can last up to 120 hours. This is equivalent to a complete work week. This is a significant advantage for construction sites that start on Monday morning and finish on Friday afternoon: no interruption in gas monitoring due to the battery charge.

Clear and distinct alarms

A green LED light ring indicates that the environment is safe and free from toxic or combustible gas. When gas or dangerous substances are detected, the LED ring becomes red, providing a visual warning that efficiently indicates dangerous gas presence. At the same time, a high level audible alarm sounds.

A wireless network of interconnected monitors

Up to 25 area gas monitors can be automatically interconnected to create a wireless gas alert system. This connectivity of the monitoring devices allows efficient and fast protection on large zones. If one of the monitors detects gas, it will transmit the signal to all the connected devices. A red master signal blinks on the monitor that detected the gas, in contrast with the other connected devices blinking red and green, thus allowing easy identification of the dangerous area.
