- Use with a hydrogen-compensated CO sensor possible
- non-disposable
Strong performance for maximum safety
You can count on the Dräger Pac® 8500 to give you reliable, precise readings at any time even under extreme conditions. Our powerful sensors with a low t-90 response time ensure quick reactions. In addition to the standard alarms, you can define extra alarm thresholds for TLV®* and STEL*.
The Pac 8500 also provides a data and event logger for logging concentrations and events along with the date and time. The data can be loaded on a PC via an interface and processed further there.
* TLV® = Threshold Limit Values, STEL = Short Term Exposure Limit
Convert to two-gas detection device using a dual sensor
Your single-gas detection device can become a two-gas device when a dual sensor is used. The Dräger Pac 8500 series offers the following sensor combinations: hydrogen sulphide with carbon monoxide or oxygen with carbon monoxide. Dual sensors enable detection of even low concentrations – and all in one and the same handy device. Measuring two gases at the same time reduces downtime as well. You can take vol.% measurements of oxygen and ppm measurements of carbon monoxide simultaneously using just one sensor.
Measurement of carbon monoxide with significantly reduced cross sensitivity
In industries where carbon monoxide needs to be measured with hydrogen as a background gas, the measured value for carbon monoxide may be falsified by cross sensitivity. Thanks to the special hydrogen-compensated CO sensor from Dräger, this cross sensitivity to hydrogen is significantly reduced in the display of carbon monoxide.
Robust design – even for the toughest conditions
The Pac 8500 can easily handle even extreme conditions. The sensors can tolerate air pressures between 700 and 1,300 mbar. A membrane filter protects the sensor from foreign matter such as dust and liquids. The shock-proof, chemical-resistant housing meets the requirements specified in the IP68 standard rating.
Easy handling thanks to clear user guidance
The D-Light indicates whether functionality of the device has been tested and if it is ready to use. The housing is also designed with your safety in mind: each sensor variant of the Dräger Pac 8500 features clearly visible colour coding, thereby minimising the chance of mistakes.
User-friendly display with all important information
The large display is word-free and clearly indicates the respective gas concentration. Other important information, such as the unit of concentration and battery capacity, is also displayed. The bright backlighting ensures that all values are clearly legible in the dark.
