Enhance Safety with the Dräger PAC Series Gas Detectors

When working in the field, ensuring a safe environment is important. The Dräger PAC series is designed to help you do just that, quickly and efficiently. These single gas detectors provide a reliable way to monitor atmospheric gases using cutting-edge technology.

Built for Tough Conditions

Each PAC device features a durable, chemical-resistant rubber housing, making it highly resilient in extreme environments. The powerful sensors have an impressively low T-90 response time, ensuring users receive immediate alerts to atmospheric changes.

Cost-Effective and Low Maintenance

With minimal gas consumption during function tests, the dräger PAC series keeps operating costs low. Additionally, all devices boast an IP68 rating, offering superior protection against dust and water. Each sensor is safeguarded by a built-in dust and water filter, further enhancing durability.

User-Friendly Design

Designed for ease of use, the PAC range features large, language-free displays that clearly present crucial information such as remaining operating time and battery life. The bright, backlit screens ensure excellent readability, even in harsh conditions. Each sensor variant is color-coded to reduce the risk of errors.

Find the Right Dräger PAC Detector for Your Needs

The PAC series offers four distinct models, each tailored for different conditions. Explore the options below to determine the best fit for your requirements:

Dräger PAC 6000 Gas Detector

The dräger PAC 6000 reliably detects CO, H2S, SO2, or O2 levels, even in extreme conditions. Its rugged design ensures durability, while the fast-acting sensors provide quick and accurate readings. With a powerful battery, this single-use device operates for up to two years with minimal maintenance. However, as a disposable model, it cannot be recharged.

Dräger PAC 6500 Gas Detector

Similar to the PAC 6000, the PAC 6500 also features a two-year battery life. However, unlike the 6000 model, its battery can be replaced, allowing for extended use. This single-gas detector accurately monitors CO, H2S, SO2, or O2 levels.

In addition to standard alarms, the PAC 6500 offers customizable secondary alarms for Threshold Limit Values and Short-Term Exposure Limits. Its 360° alarm system includes visual, audible, and vibrating alerts to ensure users are promptly notified of any hazards.

Dräger PAC 8000 Gas Detector

The dräger PAC 8000 is a versatile option capable of detecting up to 29 gases, including specialized gases not covered by other models. These include carbon dioxide (CO2), chlorine (Cl2), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), ammonia (NH3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), phosphine (PH3), and organic vapours (OV or OV-A).

This reusable device excels at detecting trace levels of special gases, such as ozone (O3) at concentrations as low as 0.02 ppm.

Dräger PAC 8500 Gas Detector

The PAC 8500 stands out by offering dual-gas detection with its specialized sensor configurations. It can simultaneously monitor O2/CO or H2S/CO, allowing users to track multiple gases with a single device. This dual detection capability enhances safety while reducing downtime.

Designed for long-term use, the dräger PAC 8500 has a two-year service life and requires no calibration or maintenance during operation. This significantly lowers costs and maximizes efficiency.
