Intended Use

The Dräger X-zone 5000 is an explosion-proof, portable
alarm amplifier for the quasi-stationary monitoring of
hazard areas. The Dräger X-zone 5000 can be used in
combination with the Dräger X-am 5000/5600 gas
detection instruments. Several Dräger X-zone 5000
devices can operate in a self-crosslinking network.
NOTICE
The Dräger X-zone 5000 is intended for detection in
ambient air. Any increased exposure to certain
hydrocarbons can result in restrictions in the detection
quality of the electrochemical sensors.

Description

The Dräger X-zone 5000 alarm amplifier is intended for
use under industrial conditions within a specified
temperature range for an uninterrupted operating period
of up to 5 days.
Via a wireless connection and/or communication cable,
several Dräger X-zone 5000 devices can be grouped to
form an alarm chain. In the event of an alarm, all
connected Dräger X-zone 5000 devices will issue the
alarm.
The alarm is generated using the gas detection
instrument
Dräger X-am 5x00. The Dräger X-am 5x00 is connected
via an infrared interface
to the Dräger X-zone 5000. In addition to alarm
generation, the Dräger X-am 5x00 is used as the user
interface for the Dräger X-zone 5000. When the Dräger
X-am 5x00 generates a gas alarm, this is transmitted to
the Dräger X-zone 5000 and amplified acoustically and
optically.
