Wireless Fence Line Monitoring - reduces efforts in setting up a safe work zone
Up to 25 Draeger X-zone 5000's can communicate in a group to form a wireless fence line.  This automatic interconnection of transportable measuring units enables rapid deployment and improved safety in hazardous areas such as pipelines or tank maintenance during industrial shutdowns.  When one unit goes into alarm (mother alarm - red) the device transmits the alarm to all other units that are part of the fence line to generate daughter alarms (green/red) resulting in complete awareness.


Pumped Area Monitoring
An integrated pump (available as an option) provides continuous, remote monitoring of areas during operation.  The system allows continuous monitoring of difficult to access areas or confined spaces at distances of up to 45 m.  By replacing the pump cap with the diffusion cap, the X-zone 5000 with integral pump operates in the diffusion mode.

Image is Everything - Check Out Drager's New UCF 6000 Thermal Imaging Camera

from the Instrumentation Group at Cross

The Drager UCF 6000 thermal imaging camera fits the bill for advanced technology while working in hazardous conditions, or performing search and rescue efforts, or simply finding hotspots.  This camera is very advanced and easy to use - even under extreme conditions.

Rapid / Accurate Imaging / Simple One-Hand Operation

Simple Operation
Firefighters go in prepared with technology in hand.  Innovative features include simple operation - the last thing you need to be concerned with during a high stress situation is working with complicated technology.  Rely on simplicity at its core, and count on the 6000 to deliver optimized image quality with reliable performance.

Improved Viewing when Visibility is an Issue
When dealing with fire, smoke or darkness, the UCF 6000 provides excellent image quality.  When seconds count, scan rooms and surrounding vicinity quickly....delivering clear and consistent imaging in life and death situations.

The Draeger UCF 6000 is designed for functionality and ease of use in difficult and dangerous settings, where firefighters routinely work. The “snapshot” function allows the user to “see around corners” by providing a temporary freeze-frame of the thermal image. This is particularly useful when freedom of movement is limited, and it provides the ability to evaluate hard-to reach areas quickly and safely.  To aid communication among firefighters, the integrated laser pointing feature allows users to point to hotspots and other areas of concern without changing their grip on other equipment. This enables the user to illustrate a recommended “plan of attack” to fellow firefighters.

The enhanced dynamic range of the Daeger UCF 6000 optimizes resolution at high temperatures and makes it possible for firefighters to quickly identify cooler objects, such as victims and other firefighters, within the immediate vicinity of a fire.

Draeger's Thermal Imaging Camera

Some of the other unique UCF 6000 features are:

- Unbelievably detailed image for a 160 X 120 thermal camera

- Brightness sensor adapts display to all lighting conditions
- Integrated laser pinpoints hazards and aids communications

- Snapshot function allows for freeze-frame imaging of difficult areas

- Difficult to reach areas

- One hand operation for ease of use and enhanced mobility

- Lightweight and ergonomic design minimizes fatigue

Convenient Operation
As a true one-handed thermal imaging system, the Draeger UCF 6000 means the other hand is always free when the user needs it. This ease of use is an invaluable benefit, adding safety as well as freedom of movement. The compact Draeger UCF 6000 weighs only 2.9 lbs, making the camera easy to operate without excess fatigue during extended firefighting operations.  The intuitive design of the camera means there’s less distraction for the user in difficult and stressful situations.

Another benefit of the Draeger UCF 6000 is the sturdy, detachable “crawling plate.” It allows firefighters to brace the camera against the ground without letting go of the device, providing them with an additional option for moving through their environment.

Gas Detection and Respiratory Protection Solutions for Landfill Gases

from the Instrumentation Group at Cross

Draeger-Tubes

Quick, Easy, and Comprehensive Chemical Measurement

Though methane and carbon dioxide are generated in the largest quantities, many other substances can be found in landfill gas.  Hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), a very toxic substance, is also a by-product of decaying organic material.  Various fuels, oils, paints, solvents and other hydrocarbons may end up in the landfill.  Even at these much smaller quantities, these compounds are toxic.  Many of these chemicals give little or no warning through a sense of smell.

The Draeger-Tube system is the most form of gas and vapor measurement in the world.  The system is easy to use, produces quick results, and offers the most comprehensive (over 500) choice of hazards detected.

The Draeger-Tube system consists of glass vials filled with chemical reagents.  The hand operated accuor bellows pump pulls a calibrated amount of air through the tube.  Should the targeted gas or vapor be present, the reagent inside the Tube changes color.  A longer the length of color change is produced when more of the targeted chemical is present.  A scale printed on the tube indicates the amount of gas or vapor present.  

Landfill Gas: Carbon Dioxide

Measuring toxic gases generated in a landfill

Large quantities (35-50 %Vol.) of carbon dioxide (CO₂) are produced in by decomposition of organic materials in a landfill. CO₂  poses two safety concerns.  First it will displace the available oxygen (O₂) for proper respiration.  However, it is also a toxic gas, able to cause sudden and serious effects like dizziness, impaired judgment, or even unconsciousness from a relatively short exposure to levels found in a landfill.

The Draeger X-am 7000 Monitor can be equipped with and Infrared (IR) sensor for measuring 0-5.0 %Vol. and/or 0-100 %Vol. of CO₂ allowing it to measure in both the toxicity range and higher levels experienced in landfill operation.  The X-am 7000 Monitor can also be equipped with Methane, O₂, H₂S and CO sensor making it ideal for use in many landfill gas measurement applications.

The versatile monitor can also be equipped with a Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) which can detect and measure toxic amounts of fuels, solvents, paints and other chemicals that mistakenly find their way into a landfill.  All measurements made by the X-am 7000 can be recorded on an internal datalogger for documentation purposes.

Landfill Gas: Methane

Monitor for Safety and Process Applications

The anaerobic decomposition of organic materials in a land fill produces large quantities (55-65 %Vol.) of methane (CH₄) in a low oxygen background.  Additionally, relatively large quantities of gases like carbon dioxide (35-50 %Vol.) and hydrogen sulfide (1000 ppm) may also be present.  This poses problems for conventional gas detectors.  The catalytic oxidation sensors used in most combustible gas detectors requires oxygen to measure methane.  Additionally these higher quantities of H₂S will cause these catalytic methane sensors to lose sensitivity over time.  Most gas detectors are also limited to a measuring range of only 0-100 %LEL (0-5 %Vol.) of methane. 

The Draeger X-am 7000 Monitor can be equipped with an Infrared (IR) based sensor for measuring 0-100 %LEL and 0-100 %Vol. of methane.  Unlike conventional catalytic combustible gas detectors, the IR sensor does not need oxygen to operate and is completely unaffected by sulfur bearing compounds.  The X-am 7000 is ideally suited for making both safety and process style measurements.

The X-am 7000 is completely dust-proof and waterproof (IP-67), even submersion in water does not bother the electronics or sensors.  The integral rubber boot allows this monitor allows this monitor to withstand the most challenging industrial conditions.  The integral rubber boot allows this monitor to withstand the most challenging industrial conditions.  The internal pump can draw a sample from up to 150 ft (45m) away, strong enough to measure deep inside any vent hole or well.  The standard NiMH battery pack will last well in excess of 10 hours continuous usage.

Industrial Grade SCBA

For Maximum Protection

High levels of carbon dioxide and other toxic chemicals can be encountered in a municipal landfill.  There is also the distinct possibility for low oxygen environments.  Both oxygen deficiency and high levels of carbon dioxide and other toxic gases require the highest level of respiratory protection equipment.  The Draeger ProAir Evolution SCBA provides the protection needed in these demanding environments.  This is because our industrial system uses the same high-performance and pneumatic system as our fire fighting unit and is backed with a life time warranty.

The NIOSH certified ProAir Evolution uses an ergonomic and light weight carbon fiber back plate and fully adjustable harness system, providing the user with exceptional safety, maneuverability, and comfort.  Our one-size-fits-all Panorama Nova mask provides a safe and reliable seal to all users.  Lightweight aluminum and carbon fiber air cylinders with durations of 30, 45 and 60 minutes are available.  Compressed airline connections and other accessories are available.

Filtering Respirators

Protection and Comfort

The new Draeger X-Plore Series masks set a new benchmark in fit and comfort in respiratory protection.  The innovative X-guided strap system secures the mask evenly over the face providing an excellent fit while remaining very comfortable.  Three sizes (S, M, L) of masks and a flexible nose seal ensure a proper fit for every type of face.  The X-plore comes in limited use (3300) and re-usable (3500) half-mask styles.  The full face (5500) mask provides a higher level protection when needed.  To meet a wide range of industrial applications, Draeger offers a full line of NIOSH approved cartridges and filters with their exclusive two-point bayonet connector.

Draeger X-Plore 5500 Twin Filter Respirator

With an exclusive multi-layer filtering design, the Piccola provides the best particulate filtration efficiency with the lowest breathing resistance in a disposable filtering face mask.  Draeger’s patented SynSafe material uses both mechanical and electrostatic filtration principles for the ultimate filtering efficiency.  It is extremely lightweight and comfortable to wear with a soft humidity resistant inner lining.  The foldable mask designs allows for easy storage in your pocket and repeated use through the workday.  The X-plore 1300 masks are available in a NIOSH approved N95 and R95 types, with or without exhalation valves.
