Ideal for short term or routine applications such as industrial shutdowns, the new Draeger X-am 1100 Personal Air Monitor provides up to 120-days detection of explosive gases and vapours, including diesel fumes, as well as oxygen (O2), carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen sulphide (H2S). Offering a cost effective, more convenient alternative to a rental device, this lightweight instrument eliminates the problems often associated with damage or loss and can simply be disposed of after use.
Completely maintenance-free and no larger than a mobile phone, the pre-calibrated X-am 1100 is easy to use. Designed for intuitive operation and featuring a practical two-key control panel and straightforward menu guidance system, it also benefits from a large liquid crystal display which provides all readings at a glance.
Incorporating the latest miniaturised XXS generation of powerful electrochemical DraegerSensors, the inclusion of a catalytic Ex sensor, calibrated to methane, also means that it can provide improved safety when facing unknown hazards.
This sensor not only responds quickly to explosive gases but it also offers a high level of sensitivity to combustible organic vapours and, as a result, ensures dependable warnings in the event of explosive hazards.
Fitted with a crocodile clip for secure attachment to clothing, the ergonomic design features gas inlets on both the top and front to ensure that, even if it is accidentally placed in a jacket pocket, it will still provide a reliable warning against gas hazards. more/…

In alarm situations, three different types of warning are issued. The audible multi-tone alarm is impossible to miss, whilst a visual 180-degree alarm helps to ensure that the warning is not ignored, as does the built-in vibrational alarm.
Dust and water-resistant to IP67, this rugged instrument remains fully functional and ready for use even after being dropped in water. The integrated rubber protection and shockproof sensors provide additional resistance to impact and vibration and the unit is also able to withstand electromagnetic interference.
The X-am 1100 can be used with either the standard alkaline or optional NINH batteries. In addition it can be fitted with a T4 battery, which can be recharged in the workshop or in a vehicle, whilst still inside the instrument.
Equipped with a data logger as standard, the unit allows data such as alarms, errors and the results of function tests to be transmitted via infrared interface to a PC. The data can then be analysed using the DraegerGas Vision software. A variety of options are also available such as the Draeger E-Cal automatic test and calibration station, the Draeger Bump Test Station and optional user registration via the Draeger CC-Vision software.
