Dräger Pac 8000
Strong Performance for Maximum Safety
You can count on the Dräger Pac 8000 to give you reliable, precise readings at any time even in extreme conditions. Our powerful sensors with a low t-90 response time ensure quick reactions. In addition to the standard alarms, you can define extra alarm thresholds for TLV®* and STEL*.
* TLV® = Threshold Limit Values, STEL = Short Term Exposure Limit
Sensors for Special Gases
The Dräger Pac 8000 performs especially well when detecting a variety of special gases. The Pac 8000 can be fitted with sensors for:
• Carbon dioxide (CO2)
• Chlorine gas (Cl2)
• Hydrogen cyanide (HCN)
• Ammonia (NH3)
• Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
• Phosphine (PH3)
• Organic vapors (OV or OV-A)
Further demonstrating the capabilities of Dräger gas detectors is the Dräger Pac 8000 performs especially well when detecting other gases as well. It can detect ozone (O3) from concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm and phosgene (COCl2) from 0.01 ppm. The Pac 8000 detects nitrogen dioxide (NO2) from concentrations as low as 0.04 ppm.
Robust Design – Even for the Toughest Conditions
The Pac 8000 can easily handle extreme conditions. The sensors can tolerate air pressures between 700 and 1,300 mbar. A membrane filter protects the sensor from foreign matter such as dust and liquids. The shock-proof, chemical-resistant housing meets the requirements specified by the IP68 standard rating.
Easy Handling and User Guidance
The D-Light indicates whether the functionality of the device has been tested and that it is ready to use. The housing is also designed with your safety in mind: each sensor variant of the Dräger Pac 8000 features clear, easily visible color coding, thereby minimizing the chance of using the incorrect detector.
User-Friendly Display With Important Information
The large display clearly indicates the respective gas concentration in the unit of concentration as well as the battery capacity. The bright backlighting ensures that all values can be clearly read in the dark.
360° Alarm & Functions
If the Dräger Pac 8000 measures hazardous gas concentrations, it sets off an audible, visual and noticeable vibrating alarm. Two bright, flashing LEDs on the top and bottom of the device ensure that the alarm is easily visible from all sides. The acoustic signal reaches a volume of 90 dB and the display can show the peak concentration measured at any given moment. Earlier alarms registered can also be retrieved at a later time, even if acknowledged.
Data and Event Logger
The Pac 8000 logs concentrations and events along with date and time. The data can be downloaded to a PC via an interface and processed for future use.
Economical Operation
All of the versions of the Dräger Pac 8000 are equipped with extremely durable Dräger sensors and a powerful battery.
Fast Function Testing Saves Time and Money
Function tests and calibrations can be carried out efficiently in the Dräger X-dock® calibration station. The automatic bump tests in the X-dock are a cost-efficient and convenient solution thanks to short test duration and the extremely low test gas consumption. The Pac 8000 is simply placed in the bump test station and automatically selects the correct setting.
