This sensor provides rapid detection of toxic gases
Draeger
The multi-gas X-am 8000 sensor (photo) can simultaneously detect up to seven gases, including flammable gases, vapors and oxygen. It is applicable to a number of industries including chemical, oil-and-gas, fire services, mining, shipping, pharmaceutical and water treatment. Suitable for use in the field, the device is compact and lightweight, with an easy-to-read color-coded screen (red, yellow, green, to indicate, respectively, a gas alarm, a device-related alarm, and that the device is ready to use) that displays up to seven different gases. In the event of an alarm, the device also sounds a loud horn and vibrates palpably. It allows the user to easily switch between pump- and diffusion-mode operation, saving energy and increasing the operating time of the device without requiring factory modification. — Draeger, Telford, Pa.
