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

The Draeger X-am 2800 is a compact, lightweight, and versatile portable gas detector designed for the detection of hazardous gases in industrial environments. It is widely used in industries like oil and gas, chemical, mining, and construction, where workers are exposed to potentially dangerous gases. The device provides real-time monitoring of multiple gases simultaneously, offering a reliable solution for worker safety.

Key Features:

1. Multi-Gas Detection:

   • The X-am 2800 can be equipped with various sensors to detect gases like Oxygen (O2), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S), Carbon Dioxide (CO2), and other toxic and combustible gases.

   • These sensors work in tandem, providing real-time data on multiple gases with high accuracy.

2. Sensor Configurations:

   • The device can be configured with up to 4 sensors for simultaneous detection of gases, such as:

     • Oxygen (O2) – Monitors oxygen levels to prevent asphyxiation hazards.

     • Carbon Monoxide (CO) – Detects CO gas, which can be toxic even at low concentrations.

     • Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) – Measures H2S, a highly toxic and dangerous gas, often encountered in industrial settings like oil and gas.

     • Combustible Gases (Ex) – Measures combustible gases to prevent fire and explosion hazards.

3. Durable Design:

   • The X-am 2800 is built to withstand tough industrial conditions. It features a robust, impact-resistant housing and is designed to operate in harsh environments, with IP 67 protection, making it resistant to dust and water.

   • The device can operate in a wide range of temperatures, typically from -20°C to +50°C.

4. Long Battery Life:

   • With a long-lasting rechargeable battery, the X-am 2800 offers continuous operation, ensuring that workers have reliable monitoring throughout the entire shift. The battery can last up to 18 hours depending on the gas sensors used and environmental conditions.

5. User-Friendly Interface:

   • The gas detector has a simple interface with a clear, backlit display. It provides real-time concentration levels, alarms, and other important information, making it easy for users to interpret data at a glance.

   • Intuitive one-button operation ensures ease of use, even for workers with minimal training.

6. Audible and Visual Alarms:

   • The X-am 2800 comes with multi-level alarm options including audible (95 dB), visual (flashing LEDs), and vibrating alarms to alert the user to hazardous gas concentrations.

   • These alarms are customizable, allowing users to set thresholds for each gas based on their operational safety standards.

7. Compact and Lightweight:

   • The device weighs just under 200 grams (about 7 oz), making it extremely portable and comfortable for workers to wear for long hours without causing fatigue.

8. Data Logging and Event Recording:

   • The X-am 2800 can log data, including gas concentrations, alarm events, and user settings, for later analysis. This feature helps in tracking exposure levels and reviewing safety compliance.

   • It includes a USB port for easy data download and transfer to a PC for further analysis.

9. Calibration and Maintenance:

   • Regular calibration ensures accuracy, and the X-am 2800 comes with an intuitive calibration system. Draeger offers automatic calibration stations for fast and easy calibration in the field.

   • The device also supports self-test functionality, alerting the user if it requires maintenance or calibration.

10. Set CA (Calibration):

    • The Set CA functionality provides clear indications about when calibration is due and allows for quick calibration when required, enhancing the device's reliability and reducing downtime.

Applications:

• Oil & Gas: Detecting hazardous gases such as H2S, CO, and methane in oil extraction, drilling, and refining.

• Construction: Ensuring safety in confined spaces and at high-risk work sites.

• Chemical & Manufacturing Industries: Detecting toxic gases and ensuring compliance with workplace safety standards.

• Mining: Monitoring air quality in underground mines where dangerous gases like methane can accumulate.

Specifications:

• Size: Compact and ergonomic (approx. 107 x 56 x 35 mm).

• Weight: 200 g (with sensors).

• Display: Color LCD or LED display (depending on the configuration).

• Power: Rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

• Protection Class: IP 67 (dust-tight and waterproof).

• Temperature Range: -20°C to +50°C.

• Sensor Lifespan: Typically 2-3 years depending on usage and environmental conditions.

Conclusion:

The Draeger X-am 2800 is a versatile, reliable, and user-friendly gas detector designed for worker safety in various hazardous environments. Whether you're working in confined spaces, on a construction site, or in a chemical plant, this portable gas detector offers peace of mind by ensuring that dangerous gas levels are continuously monitored.
