X-am 2800, Ex, O2, CO, H2S, Battery CA | Draeger

The Dräger X-am 2800 is a portable gas detector designed for detecting multiple gases in a wide range of environments. It is particularly useful for personal protection in hazardous environments such as industrial facilities, oil rigs, mines, and chemical plants. The device is equipped with sensors that can detect the following gases:

1. Ex (Explosive Gases):

• Purpose: Detects the presence of explosive or combustible gases (e.g., methane, propane, hydrogen, etc.).

• Application: Crucial for monitoring gas levels to prevent potential explosions in confined or hazardous spaces.

• Sensor Type: Typically uses a catalytic bead or infrared sensor technology.

2. O2 (Oxygen):

• Purpose: Measures the concentration of oxygen in the air to ensure it is within a safe range (usually 19.5% to 23.5%).

• Application: Essential for preventing asphyxiation hazards in environments with low oxygen levels or in situations where the atmosphere is displaced by other gases.

• Sensor Type: Electrochemical sensor.

3. CO (Carbon Monoxide):

• Purpose: Detects the presence of carbon monoxide, a colorless and odorless gas that is highly toxic even at low concentrations.

• Application: Commonly found in areas where combustion takes place, such as factories, warehouses, or vehicle exhaust.

• Sensor Type: Electrochemical sensor.

4. H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide):

• Purpose: Monitors the concentration of hydrogen sulfide, a highly toxic and corrosive gas with a distinctive rotten egg smell.

• Application: Often encountered in oil and gas industries, sewer systems, and chemical plants.

• Sensor Type: Electrochemical sensor.

5. Battery CA (Battery Capacity):

• Purpose: Indicates the charge level of the device’s battery.

• Application: Ensures that the detector is sufficiently powered to operate for the required duration.

• Sensor Type: Battery indicator.
