Dräger Pac® 8500: Your Personal Guardian Against Gas Hazards
In the world of personal gas detection, the **Dräger Pac® 8500** stands out as a reliable and robust single-sensor device. Engineered for maximum safety even in the harshest environments, this compact instrument is your trusted partner for staying safe on the job.
Unmatched Performance and Dual-Gas Capability
The Dräger Pac 8500 is more than just a gas detector; it's a commitment to safety. With a low t90 response time, its powerful sensors react quickly to a wide range of gases. It offers flexible configurations, including a hydrogen-compensated CO sensor that significantly reduces cross-sensitivity, and **Dräger dual sensors** that can measure two gases at once. Choose from these powerful combinations:
- H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) with CO (Carbon Monoxide)
- O2 (Oxygen) with CO (Carbon Monoxide)
- H2S (Hydrogen Sulfide) with O2 (Oxygen)
Measuring two gases simultaneously in a single, handy device streamlines your workflow and reduces the need to carry multiple detectors.
Built for the Toughest Jobs
The Pac 8500 is designed to endure. Its **shock-proof and chemical-resistant housing** is built to meet the **IP68 standard**, protecting the device from dust and water. The sensors can operate flawlessly in air pressures from 700 to 1,300 mbar, ensuring consistent performance in diverse atmospheric conditions.
Intuitive Design and Clear Alarms
User safety is at the heart of the Pac 8500's design. The large, word-free display provides clear, real-time gas concentration readings, battery status, and concentration units. Bright backlighting ensures readability in low-light conditions. The device's safety features are equally impressive:
- The **D-Light** instantly confirms the device is functional and ready to use.
- A **360° alarm** system with bright, flashing LEDs, a 90 dB acoustic signal, and a perceptible vibrating alarm ensures you're alerted from any direction.
- You can set custom alarm thresholds for **TLV® (Threshold Limit Values)** and **STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit)**, providing an extra layer of protection.
Economical and Easy to Maintain
With its durable DrägerSensors and powerful, long-lasting battery, the Pac 8500 offers economical operation. The detector’s unique membrane filter is easily replaceable on-site, minimizing downtime. For streamlined maintenance, the device is fully compatible with the **Dräger X-dock® calibration station**, which performs fast and cost-efficient function tests and calibrations.
