EntryRae - Confined Space Monitor
from Rae Systems

The typical confined space monitor measure oxygen, combustible, carbon monoxide and hydrogen sulfide. Will it keep you safe in today's industrial environment? No. When doing confined space work today, you need the added broadband protection of a PID.

The EntryRae is a 4 gas monitor, plus photo ionization detector (PID). It is reliable, easy to operate and simple to calibrate. The EntryRae delivers added protection without added complexity.

Rae Systems is the leader in PIDs. The plug & play, self cleaning (patented) PID is the most reliable and durable PID available today.

Why a PID?

Typical 4 gas monitors do not detect volatile organic compounds (VOCs). VOCs are combustible and often toxic at levels far below 10% LEL. They are commonly found in:

Fuels, oils, degreasers
Industrial cleaners
Heat transfer fluids
Solvents and paints
Plastics, resins, adhesives
Pesticides and herbicides

These are common industrial compounds you find in - or bring into - a confined space

LEL sensors can be poisoned by common chemicals including

Silicone compounds
Lead compounds
Sulfur compounds
Phosphates

Just a few parts per million of these compounds can degrade an LEL sensor.

A PID detects VOCs! A PID is a reliable backup for your LEL sensor. Combine a PID and a 4 gas monitor and you have true protection from the unexpected.
