Drager X-zone 5000 Mobile Gas Detection Technology - Measure up to 6 Gases in this New Transportable, Sturdy and Waterproof Unit

from the Instrumentation Group at Cross

Introducing Drager's new X-Zone 5000 - talk about state-of-the-art area monitoring, this new mobile unit is loud and tough, measuring up to 6 gases.  Plugging the Drager X-AM 5000 into the X-Zone 5000 portable unit, delivers an excellent solution for gas detection.
  • easily maintained mobile area monitor
  • simple, rapidly deployed unit for routine maintenance and emergency situations
  • alarm amplifier for the X-AM 5000/5600 series of personal monitors
  • deployable in any classified hazardous location up through Zone 0
  • wireless fence line network
Got lots of industrial noise at your facility?  Well this unit is loud.....up to 108 dB at 3 feet / 120 dB at 1 foot.   Sweeping alarm sound from 1500 to 2300 Hz, than can be heard even over many different industrial background noises.

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.

Draeger X-zone 5000 capable of Pumped Area Monitoring

The X-zone 5000 is a simple, rugged reliable unit that can be set up in minutes.  CSA/UL rated for use Zone 0 (exceeding Class 1, Division 1) for potential explosive hazards.  It can be used in the field either individually as a single area monitor or as a network of units (with 2 - 25 units in a group).  X-zones can interconnect wirelessly up to a distance of around 100 m.  With the 915 MHz frequency used in USA & Canada, a good connection can be maintained even without "line of sight" (around a corner or with obstructions between the X-zones).

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.
