​The test process is fully automated. Automatically opening and closing valves accelerate the process and manual intervention is no longer required. An external microphone also automatically captures the switch-on point of the low-pressure warning. The Quaestor 8000 can read the Dräger Sentinel when equipped with an optional cradle, so that the gauge leveling is done fully automatically.

​The Dräger Quaestor 8000 can test full-face masks, chemical protection suits and compressed air breathing apparatus for functionality and leak tightness. Tests of diving apparatus (SCUBA) and closed-circuit breathing apparatus (CCBA) are also possible, if required.

​Dräger's Quaestor 8000 pressure connections are ergonomically and flexibly designed. The medium pressure inlet comes with an extendable hose to eliminate the risk of leaks and resistance due to additional extension hoses. In addition, the rotatable medium pressure outlet reduces the distance between the breathing connection of the lung demand valve and the mask opening or breathing adapter, e.g. if the test head has been rotated by 90 degrees.

​You can turn and remove the test head without restrictions as needed. This flexibility allows you to tailor the test design comfortably to your requirements. In addition, the gel face of the test head, which emulates the elasticity of human facial skin, optimizes a tight fit for all common mask sizes.

​The included software contains a comprehensive database of pre-installed amendable device data. With user notices and graphic elements, the manual test steps are presented comprehensibly even for inexperienced users. After every completed test, a test result report is created for documentation purposes. An optionally applied test-due list provides you with timely information about tests that are due. The software also permits a customer-specific design of the test sequences, events and intervals.

​The new LED status bar informs you using different colors when a test is still running and with which result a test has been completed.

​Due to the complete redesign of the electronic and pneumatic components, the new housing is about 4 cm/1.6 in narrower and thus creates additional work space. The device will remain compatible with the previous workbench set up.

​Included in delivery are an external microphone for the detection of the acoustic signal of the low pressure warning and a specially designed bracket to ensure a comfortable rest position of the pressure gauge or Dräger Sentinel. Furthermore, a compressed air breathing apparatus holder allows you to comfortably position the device at eye level.
