PAC 8500 Dual gas detector is a fully professional device branded by Drager, which enables instant detection of gas leakage. The 8500 model was the first on in the PAC series to enable detection of two types of gas at the same time. It’s a versatile device characterised by compact size and high strength in the most difficult operating conditions.

Key features of the Drager PAC 8500 dual gas detector

• 

  Easy to use

  Drager dual gas detectors are know for being very easy to use. There is a built-in display in the front panel of the device and two buttons which are used to choose the type of the gas to be detected. Moreover, the operator can specify the acceptable gas concentration:

  • STEL - Short Term Exposure Limit
  • TLV - Threshold Limit Values
• 

  Operation in potentially explosive areas

  One of the key features of the device is that it can be used in potentially explosive areas Z1 and Z2 (gas, steam, fog) explosion groups classified as IIA, IIB, IIC and in areas with temperature classes T1, T2, T3 and T4.

• 

  360° Alarms

  If harmful gas concentration is detected, the device sends a sound level of 90 dB and light signal, and starts to vibrate gently. The 8500 series features additional alarm thresholds TLV and STEL.

• 

  Sensor

  The 8500 series distinguishing feature is the dual sensor which enables easy detection of two types of gas at the same time. Two air inlets. Two air inlets prevent work from being discontinued if one inlet is accidentally covered.

• 

  Data storage

  The dual gas detector has a built-in memory that stores up to 60 indications. Thanks to the IrDA interface, it is possible to send the indications to a PC for further analysis of their occurrence.

  Carbon monoxide measurement with significantly reduced cross sensitivity

  Certain industries require carbon monoxide to be measured using hydrogen as the background gas, in which case the result of the carbon monoxide measurement may be incorrect. A special CO sensor with hydrogen compensation reduces the hydrogen cross sensitivity significantly, so that the results of carbon monoxide measurements are always reliable.
