AreaRAE Gas Detection Network

AreaRAE
Wireless Multi-Gas Monitor

The AreaRAE is a one- to five-sensor gas detector equipped with a wireless RF (radio frequency) modem which allows the unit to communicate and transmit readings and other information on a real-time basis with a remotely located base controller.

In stand-alone operation, the AreaRAE is a rugged, weather-resistant, portable monitor that can run over 24 hours on either rechargeable Lithium-ion or alkaline batteries. It is also the first “lunchbox”- type multi-sensor instrument able to include a photoionization detector (PID) for parts-per-million measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as LEL, O2 and up to two electrochemical toxic sensors to measure specific toxic substances such as CO and H2S.

The RF modem allows real-time data transmissions with a base controller located up to two miles away from the AreaRAE detector. A personal computer can be used as the base station for an AreaRAE system. The standard ProRAE Remote software used to control AreaRAE systems is capable of monitoring the input of up to 32 remotely located monitors.
