Detailed Product Description

Key Features

1. Multi-Gas Detection (CO, H2S, O2, SO2):

   • The Pac 6500 is capable of detecting up to four gases simultaneously: Carbon Monoxide (CO) (VN00678), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) (VN00679), Oxygen (O2) (VN00680), and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) (VN00681).

   • CO detection is crucial for monitoring toxic carbon monoxide levels, which can cause dizziness, nausea, and even death in high concentrations.

   • H2S is highly toxic, flammable, and often found in petrochemical operations; detecting it ensures a safe working environment.

   • Oxygen (O2) is monitored to ensure that oxygen levels are within safe limits (not too low or too high).

   • SO2 is a corrosive and toxic gas, primarily encountered in industrial processes; its detection helps prevent health risks and regulatory violations.

2. Bluetooth Connectivity:

   • The Pac 6500 comes equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology, enabling remote configuration, data download, and device management. This feature is especially useful for streamlining the process of data collection, calibration, and maintenance.

   • Bluetooth compatibility allows the device to interface with smartphones, tablets, and computers, offering seamless integration into digital workflows.

   • Calibration and testing can be easily carried out with a mobile app or PC, without the need to manually connect the device via wires.

3. Robust and Compact Design:

   • With a compact size (53 x 110 x 36 mm) and lightweight design (approximately 120 grams), the Pac 6500 is comfortable to wear on the job.

   • It is built to endure tough conditions, with an IP68 rating for waterproofing and dust resistance, making it suitable for use in extreme environmental conditions, from harsh weather to high dust concentrations.

   • The device is also shock-resistant, capable of withstanding drops and rough handling, which is critical in industrial environments.

4. Advanced Sensors for Accurate Detection:

   • Electrochemical sensors are used to detect gases, providing highly accurate readings with fast response times.

   • These sensors are maintenance-free for up to 2 years, offering long-term reliability and reducing downtime.

   • The Pac 6500 features advanced algorithms to ensure precise calibration and detection across different gas types and concentrations.

5. Long Battery Life:

   • The Pac 6500 is powered by a long-lasting lithium battery that can provide up to 2 years of continuous operation, depending on usage.

   • This reduces the frequency of battery replacements, ensuring that the device is ready for extended use in challenging environments.

6. User-Friendly Interface:

   • The device includes an LCD display that provides clear visual readouts of gas concentrations and alarm indicators.

   • The single-button operation allows users to easily activate or reset the device, while the color-coded display and alarm system indicate gas levels and potential hazards.

7. Audible, Visual, and Vibration Alarms:

   • The Pac 6500 has a 95 dB audible alarm, bright visual LED indicators, and a vibrating alert system that ensure all alarms are clearly perceptible, even in noisy or visually obstructed environments.

   • These alarms activate when gas levels exceed the preset alarm thresholds, ensuring immediate action can be taken before hazardous exposure.

8. Data Logging and Reporting:

   • The device automatically stores gas readings, including event logs for calibration, alarms, and other operational activities.

   • Data can be downloaded wirelessly via Bluetooth to a mobile device or PC for reporting, trend analysis, and compliance tracking. This makes it easier for safety managers to monitor gas exposure over time and generate reports for regulatory compliance.

9. Easy Calibration and Maintenance:

   • The Pac 6500 is designed for quick and easy calibration in the field. Calibration can be done using the Dräger calibration station or remotely via Bluetooth, making it convenient for workers who need to keep the device ready for use at all times.

   • Zero calibration and bump testing can be performed efficiently, reducing maintenance time and ensuring that the device is functioning optimally.

10. Compliance with Safety Standards:

    • The Pac 6500 meets key international ATEX, IECEx, and CSA safety standards, ensuring it is suitable for use in explosive and hazardous atmospheres.

    • This makes it compliant with global safety regulations in industries like oil and gas, chemicals, and mining.
