The X-zone 5000 (photo) combines the advantages of mobile and stationary gas measurement, making it suitable for situations with increased security needs, such as maintenance and industrial plants. Up to six combustible and toxic gases can be measured. The device is placed at locations where a gas leak is likely to occur, and it continuously monitors such areas and warns of a potential hazardous condition. The unit has a relay to trigger other devices, so it can also initiate security measures, such as switching on a ventilation system, closing a gate and so on. The unit includes a Zone 0 hazardous approval so it can be used in potentially explosive environments. — Dräger Safety AG & Co. KGaA, Lübeck, Germany
