Dräger X-am® 8000 — 1–7 gas detector with pump (PID/VOC, IP68)
The Dräger X-am 8000 is an advanced detector that measures up to 7 gases simultaneously — combustible, oxygen, toxic gases, CO₂ and volatile organic compounds (two PID sensors). A built-in powerful pump (hoses up to 45 m) with an adapter enables pumped or diffusion operation and clearance/release measurements before entering confined spaces. IP68 housing, a battery with inductive charging, a multi-tone alarm of ~100 dB, an optional D-Light (green glow = ready) and built-in assistants (Confined Space, Leak Search, benzene measurement with a pre-tube).
The Dräger X-am 8000 is an advanced detector measuring up to 7 gases simultaneously — flammable gases, oxygen, toxic gases, CO₂ and volatile organic compounds (two PID sensors). A built-in, powerful pump (hoses up to 45 m) with an adapter enables operation in pump or diffusion mode and clearance/release measurements before entering confined spaces. IP68 enclosure, a battery with inductive charging, a multi-tone ~100 dB alarm, an optional D-Light (green glow = ready) and built-in assistants (Confined Space, Leak Search, benzene measurement with a pre-tube).
Note: The sensor configuration (up to 7 gases, including PID and IR) is selected to match the application. Runtimes depend on the sensor set; values are given as a guide per the manufacturer datasheet.
Key features

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How many gases does the X-am 8000 measure?
Up to 7 simultaneously — flammable gases, oxygen, toxic gases, CO₂ and volatile organic compounds (PID). Sensors are selected to match the task (5 slots).
Does it have a pump?
Yes — a built-in, powerful pump with hoses up to 45 m. An adapter allows switching between pump and diffusion mode; ideal for release measurements before entering confined spaces.
What are the PID sensors for?
Two photoionization (PID) sensors measure volatile organic compounds (VOCs), including benzene — with a ppb version offering resolution from 10 ppb, useful e.g. in petrochemicals.
