Portable gas detectors: Enhanced safety—
Dräger offers a comprehensive range of portable gas detectors and personal gas monitors to make safety, compliance, and asset management intuitive. Our ATEX approved devices meet stringent safety standards for use in explosive atmospheres. With advanced software solutions, you can easily track environmental conditions and your team’s wellbeing, always ensuring safety. Discover our portable gas detectors, along with our range of detection tubes and analysers, for comprehensive protection against toxic gases, vapours, and oxygen deficiency.
Multi gas detectors—
Our new generation of multi gas detectors include: personal gas monitoring, confined space entry (CSE) and clearance monitors which can measure up to seven gases simultaneously, ideal for personal air monitoring, CSE and HAZMAT applications. This portable range offers reliable measurements with durable, in-house designed sensors, ensuring maximum safety at low operating costs.
Highlights

X-am 8000
Detect up to 7 gases, including toxic and combustible gases, vapours, and oxygen (O2), with specialised methane detection in the ppm range—perfect for CSE.

X-am 5800
Detect up to 6 gases, including flammable and toxic gases, vapours, and O2. Ideal for personal air monitoring and compatible with Dräger Gas Detection, our live monitoring and asset management tool. The X-am 5800 also features an SOS alarm and motionless detection.

X-am 2800
Designed to meet the needs of the compliance monitor sector, this robust, portable detector, is independently drop tested to >2m, can measure up to 4 gases and can used with an optional pump.
Single gas detectors—
If the danger of toxic gases or vapours can be limited to a single gas or leading substance, single-gas measuring and warning devices are the ideal solution for personal workplace monitoring. Our single-gas detectors are small, robust, cost-effective and ergonomic.
Highlights

PAC 8500
Detect one or two gases simultaneously, such as Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) with Carbon Monoxide (CO), H2S with Oxygen (O2) or O2 with CO. Seamlessly connect via Bluetooth with Dräger Gas Detection Connect for live monitoring and asset management.

PAC 8000
Detect hazardous concentrations, chose from a library of 29 gases, including Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), Ozone (O3), and Phosgene (COCl2), with Bluetooth connectivity to Dräger Gas Detection Connect.

PAC 6000
Detect Carbon Monoxide (CO), Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), or Oxygen (O2) with a device that requires virtually no maintenance for up to two years, thanks to its robust design, quick sensor response times, and powerful battery.
Software solutions—

Gas Detection Connect (GDC)
Our cloud-based software is your connection to the digital future of occupational safety. GDC lets you configure gas monitors, analyse performance data, and track maintenance easily. In addition to these asset management functions, GDC also offers real time, live monitoring of your team’s safety and gas levels in high risk areas. We also offer a specialised SaaS for digitising information exchange during clearance measurements.

Ex-proof gateway
The explosion-proof (Rated to Zone 1) Dräger ConHub connects your Dräger Bluetooth enabled gas detectors, from any location to our live monitoring solution, Dräger Gas Detection Connect. The combined solutions offer automated monitoring in vulnerable or high risk areas for improving site safety.
