Air monitoring simplified

01 January 2006

UK-based Draeger Safety Limited has launched an innovative personal monitor – Draeger Pac 3000, which according to the company will allow easy and reliable monitoring of ambient air.

“Ideal for use by those with a need for regular personal monitoring, the new Draeger Pac 3000 single gas instrument – which is maintenance free for a two-year period – can be used to detect carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulphide or oxygen,” says a spokesman.
“Featuring the new Draeger XXS sensors, which do not have to be replaced during those two years, the Pac 3000 offers extremely short electrochemical reaction times and responds immediately to any gas hazard,” he adds.
Small yet robust and featuring simple push-button operation as well as a language-free, backlit liquid crystal display, the Pac 3000 also incorporates an infrared interface to make configuration and calibration easy.
Equipped with vibrational, visual and two-tone audible alarms, the Pac 3000 displays the actual hazard concentration as well as the alarm type. A warning will also be issued in the event of a malfunction, before the end of the unit's useable life, or before the battery is fully discharged.
“For maximum reliability, the display also features a bump test icon that informs the user as and when a function test is required. This can be easily carried out with a Draeger Bump Test Station whilst the Bump Test mode can be configured, calibrated and adjusted via PC using Pac Vision or CC-Vision software. Several instruments can also be configured and calibrated at the same time with the Draeger E-Cal system.
Protected by a tough, rubber housing and meeting the requirements of IP65, the Pac 3000 is easily fastened to workwear by way of a secure crocodile clip.
