Portable Single Gas Detector - Pac 8500 With Bluetooth | Draeger

The PAC 8500 is a portable single-gas detector manufactured by Dräger, designed for personal safety in environments where hazardous gases may be present. It provides real-time monitoring of a specific gas to protect workers from dangerous exposures. Below are the key details and features of the PAC 8500:

Avialable Options

• H2S/CO: VN00682
• O2/CO: VN00682
• H2S/O2: VN00684

Key Features:

Single-Gas Detection:

• The PAC 8500 is designed for detecting one specific gas, such as oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), or other hazardous gases.

• The detector is available for various gas sensors based on user requirements.

Bluetooth Connectivity:

• The PAC 8500 comes with built-in Bluetooth, allowing for wireless communication with other devices (e.g., smartphones, tablets, or external monitoring systems).

• Bluetooth functionality enables easier data collection and sharing.

Compact and Robust:

• The device is portable and lightweight, making it ideal for workers who need a wearable safety device that won’t get in the way of their tasks.

• It is built with durability in mind, often featuring high resistance to shocks, vibrations, and rough handling.

Long Battery Life:

• The PAC 8500 offers extended battery life, typically lasting for days depending on the specific gas detection mode and usage.

Real-Time Gas Monitoring:

• It continuously monitors gas levels and immediately alerts the user when dangerous concentrations are detected.

• Audible, visual, and vibrating alarms are included to ensure the user is alerted in any situation.

Easy-to-Read Display:

• It features a clear and easy-to-read display to show the gas concentration in real time.

• The display typically includes information about the gas type, concentration levels, and battery status.

Maintenance and Calibration:

• Regular calibration is essential for accurate readings. The PAC 8500 supports easy calibration, and Dräger offers solutions like the Dräger X-dock for automatic calibration and maintenance.

ATEX Approval (if applicable):

• The PAC 8500 may be certified for use in explosive atmospheres (ATEX zone approval) when using appropriate sensors and configurations.

Alarm Indicators:

• Clear alarm indicators (visual, audible, and vibrating) are activated when gas concentrations exceed pre-set limits, ensuring immediate action can be taken.

Gas Detection Types (Common Sensors):

Oxygen (O₂): Measures the level of oxygen in the atmosphere.

Carbon Monoxide (CO): Detects dangerous concentrations of carbon monoxide.

Hydrogen Sulfide (H₂S): Alerts users to the presence of hydrogen sulfide, which is toxic and has a rotten egg smell.

Applications:

Industrial Safety: Commonly used in oil & gas, chemical plants, manufacturing, and confined space entry.

Environmental Monitoring: To detect harmful gases in various industrial and worksite environments.

Emergency Response: For personnel working in hazardous areas where immediate detection of dangerous gases is necessary.
