Dräger X-am® 2500 Portable Gas Detector
Model: Dräger X-am® 2500 Ex, O2, CO, H2S Sensor
The Dräger X-am 2500 was especially developed for use as personal protection.
The 1 to 4 gas detectors reliably detect combustible gases and vapors, as well as O2, CO, NO2, SO2 and H2S.
Reliable and fully mature measuring technology, durable sensors and easy handling guarantee a high degree of safety with extremely low operating costs.
Durable Electrochemical Sensors
- Fully developed, high performance Dräger sensors in an extra small format for CO, H2S, O2, SO2 and NO2 gases enable safe use in industry, mining and in refineries.
- The impressive hydrogen sulphide sensor has a high resolution, so it can reliably measure even very low workplace limits.
- The non-consumptive and lead-free sensor for oxygen is characterized by an especially long service life of more than 5 years.
- Our CO and H2S sensors also have this long service life expectation, so they contribute to especially low operating costs.
Poison Resistant Ex -Sensor
- The innovative, catalytic Ex sensor is impressive due to its high resistance to silicone and hydrogen sulphide.
- Together with the high degree of drift stability, this resistance enables an extraordinarily long service life of more than 4 years. Its sensitivity about flammable gases and vapors is tested in accordance with the technical approval for measuring IEC/EN 60079-29-1 from methane to nonane.
- This approval also demonstrates the suitability of this instrument for primary explosion protection, e.g. for use in refineries and in the chemical industry.
Maximum Safety
- The Dräger X-am 2500 has Ex approval for zone 0, so it is clearly designed for very high user safety in areas subject to explosion hazard.
- The functional design ensures that gas can enter from above and from the side – even if the instrument is inside a pocket or if the front gas entry is accidentally covered.
Maintenance: fast, easy, inexpensive
- From functional test to complete documentation, users have access to practical solutions that provide safety for implementation at any time.
- The Dräger Bump Test Station, which does not require a local power source, and the automatic Dräger X-dock testing and calibration station for comprehensive equipment management are ideal system additions that save time and effort.
- Together with the Dräger X-dock, the high quality Dräger sensors enable quick bump tests of 8 to 15 seconds1 with very low gas consumption. This significantly reduces your equipment operating costs.

Poison Resistant Ex-sensor
- Advanced safety in explosive atmospheres: thanks to the high sensitivity of the innovative Ex-sensor to combustible organic vapors the Dräger X-am 7000 warns reliable of danger of explosions.
- It not only responds quickly to combustible gases and vapors, it is also characterized by its high resistance against silicone and hydrogen sulphide contamination.
- In combination with the high degree of drift stability, this resistance enables an extraordinarily long service life of more than four years. This will reduce your operational costs.
Robust and Watertight
- In addition to the built-in dust and water filter, the Dräger X-am 7000 can be submersed in up to 1 m or 3 ft. of water without damage. A specially designed rubber boot protects the instrument against damage even from a drop of 1.5 m or 5 ft.
Built for longevity
- The completely new design of the rechargeable battery pack with intelligent charging management guarantees full functionality of the instrument over a period of up to 20 hours.
- An alkaline battery pack is also available. The Dräger Sensors used in the Dräger X-am 7000 have a typical lifetime of over 5 years.
- If, over time, a sensor exchange is necessary, the modular approach of the instrument allows for this in a few simple steps.
Multiple Alarms
- Alarm conditions cannot be ignored because of the extremely loud multi-tone horn.
- In addition, the visual alarm can be seen 360°, ensuring that the user notices the warning.
- By generating an optional life-signal every six seconds, the Dräger X-am 7000 confirms that it is functioning properly.

Easy Detection of Leakages
A flexible “gooseneck” probe eases the search for leakages on pipelines, valves, flanges, etc. In the tracking mode, the instrument generates an increasing or decreasing rate of beeps, depending on the gas concentration detected.
Information at one glance
- The large graphic display and the auto-zoom function during alarms guarantee an easy recognition of the measurement values and symbols displayed for immediate reaction to the situation or hazards. All information is provided in plain text for easy understanding.
Intuitive Software Functions
- The software menu within the Dräger X-am 7000 was designed in partnership with our customers making it simple and easy to use.
- With the help of Dräger CC-Vision software, up to five different detection applications can be saved within the instrument.
- By doing so, the use of different instrument configurations can be set for that specific application. During operation, a simple change between these set parameters can be done via the instrument ‘s menu.
Data Management
- An integrated data logger logs up to 3000 sets of values – that equals 100 hours when recording one set per minute. The data can then be transferred to and evaluated on a PC using an infrared interface together with the Dräger Gas Vision software package.
Drager Acuuro Pump & Drager Tubes
Fast measurement with one hand: The Dräger Tube pump accuro allows you to use the established Dräger Tubes to take measurements under extreme conditions. The easy-to-use Dräger Tubes have already been calibrated and form a perfect unit with the Dräger Tube pump.
Mobile spot measurement
- This manual pump is used for spot measurements such as the detection of concentration peaks, confined space entry, worst-case scenarios etc.
Functional bellows pump
- The Dräger-Tube pump accuro draws in 100 ml per stroke. When measuring, the pump body (bellows) is pressed together completely.
- The exhaust valve is closed during the opening phase of the bellows so that the gas sample flows through the connected Dräger-Tube into the pump.
- After the complete opening of the pump body into its original position the suction process is finished.
- The end of stroke is visible by a pressure controlled end of stroke indication, located in the pump head.
Sampling
- During the sampling process the substances to be evaluated are firstly accumulated on a suitable carrier material, e.g. activated charcoal, silica gel and so on.
- The air to be evaluated is thereby drawn over the respective material – with a predefined flow rate and duration.
- Afterwards, the substances that have accumulated on the carrier material through adsorption or chemisorption are examined qualitatively and quantitatively in the laboratory using instrumental analysis such as gas chromatography.
One-handed Operation
- Frequently, measurements need to take place under extreme conditions, e.g. on ladders, in shafts or when wearing heavy breathing protection. The Dräger-Tube pump accuro can easily be operated with one hand and enables a reliable measurement also in difficult-to-access place
