The Dräger X‑zone 5500 transforms the Dräger personal gas detection instruments X-am 5000, 5100 and 5600 into innovative area monitoring devices for a wide range of applications. An outstanding combination for increased safety – in addition to the personal air monitors carried on the body, these area monitors are positioned where gas hazards are expected.

The explosion-protected gateway Dräger ConHub transmits measured values and alarms from the Dräger X-zone 5x00 area monitor via a Modbus cable as well as data from up to 20 Dräger X‑am 2800/5800 and Pac devices with Bluetooth® function to the Dräger Gas Detection Connect cloud solution. This gives you deeper insight into areas at risk while ensuring more efficient use of your fleet and increased safety of your facility.

Even from a distance, the illuminated green LED ring indicates that the air is free of toxic and combustible gases. Upon detection of gas hazards, the LED color changes from green to red, thus providing a clear visual warning that gas is present. Additionally, a loud and highly audible evacuation alarm is emitted. The Dräger X‑zone 5500 gas entry location permits gas to diffuse into the Dräger X‑am 5000, 5100 or 5600 from all sides.

Up to 25 Dräger X‑zone 5500 can be automatically interconnected to form a wireless fenceline. The interconnection of the area monitoring devices allows for rapid establishment of safety networks for larger areas.
A Dräger X‑zone 5500 detecting a gas alarm transmits the alarm signal to all interconnected units. A red flashing master alarm in the unit detecting the gas contrasts with red/green flashing alarms of the connected units. This provides simple recognition of alarm status and the actual location of the hazard.
With the corresponding configuration, the maximum gas concentration in the monitored area is shown on the display. Combined with the display of the X-zone ID a clear containment of the hazard area is possible.

The 24 Ah battery of the Dräger X-zone 5500 provides up to 120 hours of continuous operation – a complete working week.
