AreaRae Inert is a one to five sensor gas detector equipped with a wireless RF (radio frequency) modem which allows the unit to communicate real time sensor readings with a remotely located host controller PC. Wireless remote monitoring ensures worker safety, while sensitive sensing technology measures toxic and flammable gases in inert atmosphere without the need for dilution fitting.

Features

• Increase safety with remote monitoring
• Easy to use sensing technology
• Rapidly deployable system up in minutes
• Designed for use in harsh & hazardous environments
• Up to fine sensors including a PID, LEL, oxygen and two toxic gases
• Rugged, weather resistant stainless steel housing
• Built in modem for data transmission up to 2 miles
• Over 18 hours of run time on interchangeable Lithium-ion battery
• Loud buzzer and large, extra bright warning light
• Large LCD display and keypad
• Datalogging on the host PC and on the AreaRae
• Optional GPS provides ability to track units
• Easily switch between INERT and NORMAL operation modes

Applications

• Catalysts replacement
• Confined space entry
• Fence line monitoring
• Hazardous material response
• Environmental cleanup
