​The Dräger PAC 8500 Dual Gas Detector is a reliable and precise instrument even under the toughest of conditions. The device can be equipped with a hydrogen-compensated CO sensor or a Dräger dual sensor.

Description

Dräger PAC 8500 Dual Gas Detector

You can count on the Dräger Pac 8500 to give you reliable, precise readings at any time even under extreme conditions. The Dräger PAC 8500 Dual Gas Detector also provides a data and event logger for logging concentrations and events along with the date and time. The data can be loaded on a PC via an interface and processed further there.

​Your single-gas detection device can become a two-gas device when a dual sensor is used. The Dräger Pac 8500 series offers the following sensor combinations: hydrogen sulphide with carbon monoxide or oxygen with carbon monoxide.

Dual sensors enable detection of even low concentrations, and all in one and the same handy device. Measuring two gases at the same time reduces downtime as well. You can take vol.% measurements of oxygen and ppm measurements of carbon monoxide simultaneously using just one sensor.

The Dräger Pac 8500 offers strong performance for maximum safety, making it an ideal solution for demanding environments. With the option to convert it into a two-gas detection device using a dual sensor, it provides added flexibility.

FAQs
What is the Dräger PAC 8500 Dual Gas Detector used for?

The Dräger Pac 8500 is a high-performance single- or dual-gas detector, ideal for personal protection in industrial, chemical, and emergency environments. It is especially suited for situations requiring CO detection with H₂ compensation or for users who need to monitor two gases simultaneously using a dual sensor.

What gases can the Dräger PAC 8500 Dual Gas Detector detect?

The Pac 8500 supports single or dual sensors for combinations such as:

  • CO/H₂S

  • CO/H₂-compensated (prevents false alarms in hydrogen-rich environments)

  • CO₂, NO, NH₃, Cl₂, HCN, O₃, NO₂, OV, PH₃, SO₂, and more

Is the Dräger PAC 8500 Dual Gas Detector ATEX approved?

Yes, the Pac 8500 is certified for use in hazardous and explosive atmospheres:

  • ATEX: II 1G Ex ia IIC T4 Ga

  • IECEx: Ex ia IIC T4 Ga

Can I change the sensor or battery myself?

Yes, the sensor, battery, and filter are replaceable, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership.

How often should I bump test and calibrate the device?

Bump Test: Daily or before each use.

Calibration: Every 6–12 months but depends on company policy, gas type and product usage.
