Safety and efficiency thanks to its networking capability: Transfer your recorded data directly and conveniently via Bluetooth® to a smartphone and from there to the backend of the Gas Detection Connect software. As an alternative, you can also transfer the data directly to the cloud with the X-dock test station. This way, you have secure access to your data and its analysis at any time and from anywhere – simply via your internet browser.

With the X-am 5800 you can manage your fleet of equipment comfortably and efficiently in daily use. Save operating costs and time through fast tests by using the automatic test station X-dock with low gas consumption or a pure mechanical bump test station. Further advantages: powerful asset management via our smart software solution, convenient firmware updates in the X-dock, an optional RFID transponder and individual colour marking of the devices. Few, easy-to-replace spare parts – including the power supply – and sensors ensure that your devices remain operational for many years. Dräger provides a 4-year manufacturer's warranty on the basic device. Existing, compatible accessories from its predecessor, the X-am® 2500/5000/5600 can continue to be used.

Small and lightweight: The X-am 5800 is comfortable to wear and easy to use even with gloves on thanks to its large buttons. The display clearly shows important information such as gas readings, alarms and time. The green D-light indicates that the unit is ready for use. All this, plus the completely language-free icon based user interface, makes it pleasantly simple to use and familiarise yourself with. For your added safety, its oxygen channel has four alarm thresholds – real pre-alarms and main alarms for falling and rising concentrations. Approved for use in Ex zone 0, it has also been tested according to protection class IP 68.

The new CatEx sensor offers you even more advantages: readiness for calibration within seconds, extreme robustness against shocks and the measurement of flammable vapours – such as petrol, diesel and nonane. You can also set the measurement gas to methane, propane, hydrogen, and many other gases. The performance is complemented by Dräger's simple cross calibration concept, in which the measurement gas, calibration gas and bump test gas can be specified individually. Upon testing, the X-am 5800 then takes over the necessary conversions. The sensor is target to meet the demanding requirements of the new IEC standard 60079-29-1 (International Electrotechnical Commission).
At the same time, the CatEx sensor is resistant to poisoning substances such as silicones and other harmful substances. This combination of properties is exceptional. With years of experience in sensor technology, Dräger develops and produces the sensors itself, including the powerful and durable electrochemical sensors in the XXS format. Your advantage: sensors and device are perfectly matched to each other – saving you operating costs. We are currently developing a durable, power-saving infrared sensor to measure flammable gases and vapours and/or carbon dioxide, as well as a photo-ionisation detector sensor for measuring volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These can be used instead of the CatEx sensor.

During the development of the X-am 5800, great importance was given to sustainability. The optimised Dräger Sensors and the rechargeable power supply, which can be easily replaced with one screw, ensure it has a long service life. Almost all spare parts can be replaced by trained users, while all remaining parts can be repaired by DrägerService. Furthermore, existing accessories from the previous series can still be used. Environmental protection has also been taken into account in the technical documentation and packaging: Designed to save paper, when you order two or more units, we can reduce the number of instruction manuals supplied if you order the modular version. For your convenience, Dräger also takes back old devices and ensures that they are recycled properly.
