Dräger Pac® 8500 Gas Detector
The Dräger Pac® 8500 is a reusable personal gas detector for monitoring one or two gases, depending on the selected sensor configuration. Choose oxygen / carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide / carbon monoxide, or carbon monoxide with hydrogen compensation.
Key Features
- Simultaneous dual-gas monitoring in supported configurations
- Hydrogen-compensated CO option reduces interference from hydrogen when measuring carbon monoxide
- 90 dB audible alarm plus visual and vibration alerts
- D-Light status indicator, peak display, alarm hold, and TLV/STEL functions
- Data and event logging for concentration and alarm records
- User-replaceable external membrane filter
- IP68 protection against dust and water ingress

Available Configurations
Choose the sensor configuration for your application. The oxygen / carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide / carbon monoxide models monitor two gases simultaneously. The hydrogen-compensated model monitors carbon monoxide while reducing interference from hydrogen; it does not provide a separate hydrogen reading.
