Key Features:

1. Multi-Gas Detection:

   • The X-am 5800 can detect up to 5 gases simultaneously. It's capable of measuring gases such as oxygen (O₂), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), combustibles (CH₄), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂), sulfur dioxide (SO₂), and many others, depending on the sensor configuration.

2. Durability and Robustness:

   • Built to withstand harsh conditions, the device is impact-resistant, IP 67-rated for water and dust protection, and intrinsically safe. It is designed for use in hazardous environments where gas leaks could pose serious risks, including areas with high levels of combustible or toxic gases.

3. Compact and Lightweight:

   • The X-am 5800 is lightweight and ergonomically designed, making it easy to carry and wear during long shifts. Its compact size makes it suitable for confined spaces, without sacrificing performance or accuracy.

4. User Interface:

   • It comes with a high-resolution color display that clearly shows real-time gas concentration levels, alarm thresholds, and battery life. This visual feedback ensures that operators can quickly assess the situation and take necessary action.

5. Intelligent Sensors:

   • The sensors are smart, allowing for automatic calibration and diagnostics. The sensors can be easily replaced in the field, ensuring minimal downtime and continuous protection. The device also has built-in self-diagnostics to alert the user in case of malfunctions.

6. Long Battery Life:

   • The X-am 5800 is equipped with a long-lasting battery that can operate up to 18 hours on a single charge, depending on the configuration. This is particularly useful for extended shifts or remote locations.

7. Alarm System:

   • It has audible, visual, and vibrating alarms to warn the user of any gas concentration exceeding preset limits. This is vital for ensuring that workers in hazardous environments are alerted immediately in case of dangerous gas levels.

8. Data Logging:

   • The device can store data logs of gas measurements for further analysis and reporting. This feature is useful for safety audits, compliance with safety regulations, and identifying trends in gas levels over time.

9. Versatile Mounting:

   • The X-am 5800 can be used in a variety of ways, including as a personal gas monitor worn on a belt or harness, or mounted in a fixed location for continuous monitoring.

10. Wireless Connectivity:

• It supports wireless communication with other devices or central monitoring systems. This allows for real-time monitoring and alerts at a command center, making it a great option for industrial facilities or large-scale operations.

Applications:

The X-am 5800 is designed for a variety of industries where hazardous gas exposure is a risk. Some of its common applications include:

• Oil & Gas: Monitoring gas levels in oil rigs, refineries, and gas plants.

• Chemical Plants: Ensuring worker safety in environments where toxic gases may be present.

• Mining: Detecting gas concentrations in mines, especially in confined spaces.

• Construction: Protecting workers from potential gas leaks in construction zones.

• Firefighting: Detecting dangerous gases in burning or collapsed structures.

• Wastewater Treatment: Monitoring air quality in sewer systems and treatment facilities.

Sensors and Configuration Options:

• The X-am 5800 can be configured with various sensors for toxic gases, oxygen levels, and combustible gases (e.g., methane). The most common sensor combinations are for oxygen, carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide, and combustible gases, but you can choose specific sensors based on your needs.

• Sensor Lifespan: Dräger sensors are designed for long-term use, with typical lifespans ranging from 2 to 5 years, depending on the type and environmental conditions.
