Ruggedized Wireless Multi-Gas Monitor
The AreaRAE Steel Z1 is a one- to five-gas wireless monitor that
delivers ATEX Zone 1 certification in an extremely rugged stainless
steel enclosure designed for applications in harsh environments. The
weather-resistant AreaRAE Steel Z1 is the benchmark against which
portable wireless gas monitors are judged.
AreaRAE Steel Z1 combines a photoionization detector (PID) for
parts-per-million measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with
lower explosive limit (LEL) and oxygen sensors, plus two electrochemical
toxic sensors for measuring specific substances such as hydrogen
sulfide or chlorine. An integrated wireless modem allows the AreaRAE
Steel to transmit real-time gas measurement data to a ProRAE Remote base station located up to 1.5 kilometers away.
The base station is a standard Windows based PC running ProRAE Remote
software connected to a RAELink2 Host Modem. The base station can
communicate with up to 12 AreaRAE Steel Z1s (or other AreaRAE-compatible
monitors), providing a multi-threat detection network that can monitor a
wide geographic area.
AreaRAE Steel Z1 monitors are powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries that deliver 18 hours of continuous operation.
The AreaRAE Steel Z1 is ideal for fast deployment during plant
shutdowns or turn-around. AreaRAE Steel Z1 detectors can be used to
quickly establish a working perimeter by setting out multiple monitors
at strategic locations, then backing off to a position of safety to
monitor readings over the wireless link.
