Intended use

The Dräger X-zone 5000 is an explosion-proof, portable
alarm amplifier for the quasi-stationary monitoring of
hazard areas. The Dräger X-zone 5000 can be used
together with the Dräger X-am 5000 gas detector
(certificates DEMKO 07 ATEX 143500X and IECEX
ULD 07.0004x). The device is only to be used in areas
known to have a low risk of mechanical impact. Several
Dräger X-zone 5000 devices can operate in a self-
crosslinking network.
NOTICE
The Dräger X-zone 5000 is intended for detection
in ambient air. Any increased exposure to certain
hydrocarbons can result in restrictions in the detection
quality of the sensors.

Description

The Dräger X-zone 5000 alarm amplifier is intended
for use under industrial conditions within a specified
temperature range for an uninterrupted operating period
of up to 5 days.
Via a wireless connection and/or communication cable,
several Dräger X-zone 5000 devices can be grouped
to form an alarm chain. In the event of an alarm, all
connected Dräger X-zone 5000 devices will issue
the alarm.
The alarm is generated using the gas detection
instrument Dräger X-am 5000. The Dräger X-am 5000
is connected via an infrared interface to the Dräger X-
zone 5000. In addition to alarm generation, the Dräger
X-am 5000 is used as the user interface for the Dräger
X-zone 5000. When the Dräger X-am 5000 generates a
gas alarm, this is transmitted to the Dräger X-zone 5000
and amplified acoustically and optically.
