The SentryRae Steel has been discontinued. Please contact AFC International for other options available.
The SentryRae Steel is the first "lunchbox" style, portable, pumped monitor to combine a PID (photoionization detector) and a standard 4 gas confined space monitor (oxygen, LEL and 2 toxic sensors) in one product that can run over 24 hours on either rechargeable Lithium-ion or alkaline batteries.
The SentryRae Steel detector is designed for use in circumstances where it is advantageous for the customers to leave the detector in a central location and provide monitoring information for a group of workers. The extra-light, cluster LED alarm light, large display, and very loud audible alarm convey readings and alarm state information over a substantially wider area than typical personal portable detectors.
Features
- O2, LEL, PID and any two plug in "smart" toxic sensors: CO, H2S, SO2, NO, NO2, Cl2, HCN, NH3, PH3
- 0-2,000 ppm measurement of VOCs (volatile organic compounds) with 0.1 ppm resolution
- Measure more chemical than with any other PID- With over 60 Correction Factors built into the SentryRae memory and the largest printed list of Correction Factors in the world (300+), Rae Systems offers the ability to accurately measure more ionizable chemicals than any other PID!
- User friendly - Easy to use for simple applications and flexible enough for sophisticated options.
- Drop in battery - When work schedules require putting in more than 36 hours supplied by advanced Lithium-Ion battery, the drop in alkaline pack supplied with every SentryRae Steel lets you finish the job.
- Strong, built in sampling pump - Draws up to 100 feet (30M) horizontally or vertically. External filter and automatic low flow alarm protect the SentryRae Steel from damage.
- Large keys - Operable even with 3 layers of gloves
- Store up to 80 hours of data - Data collected at one minute interval from all 5 sensors for download to PC with the datalogging option.
- Loud audible alarm and extra bright light - Alarm varies for different alarm conditions.
- Rugged, weather resistant housing.
