   • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi options are available for remote monitoring and data transfer.

6. Integrated Alarm System:

   • The X-am 8000 features an integrated alarm system, including visual, audible, and vibrational alarms. These alarms activate when gas levels exceed preset thresholds, providing immediate warnings to the user.

   • The alarm system ensures that workers are alerted in time to take corrective action and evacuate if necessary.

7. Rugged and Durable:

   • The device is IP68-rated, meaning it is dust-tight and can withstand immersion in water up to a depth of 1.5 meters.

   • It is designed to handle harsh environments, including high temperatures, humidity, and physical shocks.

8. Data Logging and Reporting:

   • The X-am 8000 can record and store gas readings, alarms, and other critical data for later analysis.

   • It has a built-in USB port for easy data download, and it can also be integrated with Dräger’s Gas Detection Management Software for efficient data management.

9. User-Friendly Interface:

   • The device comes with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate user interface, ensuring that operators can quickly configure and use the device without extensive training.

   • Features include customizable alarm thresholds, gas selection, and calibration settings.

10. Calibrations and Maintenance:

    • The X-am 8000 includes a built-in calibration system, making routine maintenance and calibration straightforward.

    • The device supports both manual and automatic calibration procedures, ensuring accuracy and compliance with safety standards.
