Area monitor
​in combination with the Dräger X-am® 5000 or 5600 gas measuring devices, is suitable to measure 1 to 6 gases
limitless area monitoring thanks to fenceline of up to 25 devices

Innovative area monitoring
The Dräger X‑zone 5500 transforms the Dräger personal gas detection instruments X‑am 5000 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.

Clear warning
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 or 5600 from all sides.

Wireless fenceline
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.

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