Dräger X-am Pump in Measurement Technology

Dräger X-am Pump

The Dräger X-am pump is an external pump for the portable gas detectors Dräger X-am 2500, 5000, and 5600 - designed for clearance measurement, for example in tanks and shafts. The pump automatically switches on when it is connected to a running X-am device. The change from pump mode to diffusion mode is fast and easy.

Easy to use
The pump is attached onto the X-am 2500/5000/5600 and fastened with a clip. Pumping starts automatically once pump and running gas detection device are connected. The pump turns off automatically once it is removed from the device. Using the X-am with the pump has no effect on the measuring performance for standard gases.

Charging via USB
The pump battery can be recharged using the micro USB port. A standard cellphone charger can be used for connecting. The charge status is indicated by an LED on the pump. A full charge requires approximately six hours.

Handy and robust
The pump's easily manageable 17.5 cm device height and a weight of only 200 g permit easy carrying and stowage. The Dräger X-am pump is dust and water resistant according to the IP67 protection classification. It performs reliably even at temperatures down to -40 °C. The battery is solid cast to protect against damage due to dropping or impact.

Effective range of measuring results: with explosion protection
The pump can reach the ambient atmosphere in inaccessible places - up to a distance of 45 m, e.g. in channels, shafts, or tank systems. The pump has been optimised for hoses with a diameter of 3 mm - for fast response times and low power consumption.

The use of the pump in combination with a X-am device ensures you of consistently precise measuring results - even in the most demanding situations. Because the pump has an explosion protection approval for Ex zone 0. In combination with the Dräger X-am 2500/5000/5600, which are likewise approved for Ex zone 0, the X-am pump allows for secure and continuous monitoring of enclosed areas.

Long operating time for long deployments
The pump is not only highly resilient on the outside but also inside. The battery capacity lasts for three workweeks at 8 measurements per day (i.e. up to 20 hours of continuous operation). Convenient: The operating time of the X-am is not decreased when the pump is in operation. Moreover, the entire pump operating time can be evaluated using CC-vision software.

Data logger
Pump operating time, charge status, battery warnings, and flow alarm are displayed on the Dräger X-am and stored in the data logger. This makes it possible to display the results of the clearance measurements separate from the evaluations of personal monitoring.
