Dräger X-am 5800 Multi-Gas Detector

The Dräger X-am 5800 is a configurable portable multi-gas detector designed for personal air monitoring and hazardous-atmosphere applications. Depending on the sensor configuration, the X-am 5800 can monitor combustible gases and vapors, oxygen and toxic gases. The instrument supports up to six gases and can be configured with CatEx, electrochemical, PID and infrared sensor technologies.

The X-am 5800 is designed for applications including personal air monitoring and confined-space entry. An optional external X-am Pump can be used for remote sampling and clearance measurements in areas such as channels, shafts and tanks.

Configure the X-am 5800 for Your Application

The X-am 5800 is a configurable gas detection platform. Sensor selection determines which gases the instrument can detect, so the appropriate configuration should be selected based on the hazards being monitored and the requirements of the application.

Available sensor technologies include:

• CatEx for combustible gases and vapors
• Electrochemical sensors for oxygen and toxic gases
• PID sensors for volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
• Infrared sensors for selected gases

Dräger offers a broad selection of compatible sensors for the X-am 5800. We have the most popular configurations we sell pre-loaded on our site, but if you’re not sure, or don’t see what you need, you can contact us and we’ll help you select a configuration for your specific application.
