The Draeger NA11012 X-plore 8500 PAPR System with Helmet is a powered air purifying respirator solution designed to provide respiratory, head, and face protection in demanding work environments. Built around the X-plore 8000 helmet, the system uses a clear polycarbonate visor to maintain visibility while shielding the wearer from airborne contaminants and incidental impacts. The helmet features rugged construction with rubber protectors and an IP65-rated seal to resist dust and water intrusion during daily use. Central to the setup is the X-plore 8500 blower unit, which incorporates intelligent electronics to monitor operation, including automatic airflow checks, calibration functions, and a two-level alarm system to help maintain safe conditions. A high-capacity lithium-ion battery delivers extended runtime, up to 20 hours depending on working conditions and configuration, supporting longer shifts and reduced downtime for charging.
This package typically includes the helmet with L1Z visor, a flexible hose, the IP-rated blower unit, a high-capacity IP battery, a single charger, a standard belt, and comfort pads (note that filters are ordered separately are referenced by part numbers 6739570 and 6739565). The system is designed for environments where reliable respiratory protection is needed along with head and face protection, and its integrated alarms and maintenance features help users monitor performance in real time. Practical considerations include battery management for extended use, compatibility with the L1Z helmet, and ensuring the correct filter option is selected to match the specific contaminants encountered.
In operation, users should verify proper mounting of the helmet and secure attachment of the blower assembly, confirm that the visor remains clear for maximum visibility, and follow routine maintenance for the belt, comfort pads, and battery charging to sustain performance over time. This product is categorized under gas detection but functions as a PAPR system for respiratory protection, with the documented components and configurations described above serving as the basis for its intended use.
