Press Release Summary:
Developed for use at industrial sites, Dräger X-zone 5000 is used in conjunction with Dräger X-am 5000 personal gas detection device to create wireless fence line alarm for toxic gases. Transportable device can be used individually or as part of continuous wireless network with up to 25 units for monitoring large areas, such as pipelines and storage tanks. Each unit continuously monitors up to 6 explosive, flammable, or toxic gases, and warns if one of them is present in ambient air.

New Mobile Gas Monitoring Device
Patented Technology Creates Wireless Fence Line to Monitor for Toxic Gases
Safety Supply South announces an advanced breakthrough for area monitoring with the launch of the new the Dräger X-zone 5000 system. Bridging the gap between portable and stationary gas monitoring devices, this state-of-the-art system uses wireless technology to create a reliable and flexible safety network to monitor for toxic gases.
Representing a new category in gas monitoring, the patented system was developed for use at a wide range of industrial sites. Dräger X-zone 5000 monitors are used in conjunction with the Dräger X-am 5000 personal gas detection device to create a wireless fence line alarm. The X-zone 5000 is a transportable unit that can be used individually or as part of a network that can connect up to 25 units in a continuous wireless network to monitor large areas such as pipelines, storage tanks and other industrial sites where a gas leak could occur . The flexible system can also be used individually to monitor one area or in conjunction with personal gas monitors.
The combination of mobile wireless systems and portable devices is patented by Dräger. The Dräger X-am 5000 portable gas detection device is plugged into the field units, communicating with them automatically. Each unit continuously monitors for up to six explosive, flammable or toxic gases, and warns if one of them is present in the ambient air. The X-zone system is also ideally suited for work in confined spaces, such as sewers and water treatment plants, instead of equipping every employee with a personal unit.
"The X-zone system was developed to meet the increased security needs of our customers," said Ralf Drews, president and CEO of Draeger Safety, Inc. and inventor of the Dräger X-zone 5000. "On a visit to a water treatment plant, workers told us that it was difficult to instruct and train every employee in the correct use of the personal monitors. And yet, they needed a way to measure gases and communicate to the surface in locations where a potential gas hazard exists."
