The AreaRAE Steel is an ATEX-certified multi-gas, wireless monitor. Housed in a welded stainless-steel enclosure, it is rugged, portable and weather-resistant, making it suitable for harsh environments. Ideal for hazardous materials and other emergency response monitoring applications, strategically placed AreaRAE Steel monitors can be used to quickly establish a perimeter, allowing first responders to back off to a safe position and monitor readings from up to 3 kilometers away.
The photoionization detector (PID) in the AreaRAE Steel can measure parts per million of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). In addition, it can be equipped with a lower explosive limit (LEL) sensor, an oxygen sensor, and one or two electrochemical toxic sensors for measuring specific substances such as hydrogen sulfide or chlorine.
An integrated wireless modem transmits real-time gas measurement data to a base station, which employs a standard Windows-based PC running ProRAE Remote software. The base station can simultaneously control and display readings for up to eight AreaRAE Steels and/or AreaRAE Steel Gammas (or other AreaRAE-compatible monitors, including MultiRAE Plus, MiniRAE 2000, ppbRAE Plus, Smiths APD-2000®, BAE ChemSentry®, and Coastal Environmental Systems Weatherpak®). This provides a multi-threat detection network that can monitor a wide geographic area. Employing mesh networking capabilities, the AreaRAE Steel is designed for extended-range performance in difficult radio environments. The AreaRAE Steel is available individually or as part of the Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) system package.

The Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) is designed for quick assessment and management of gaseous threats. The kit includes four wireless, 5-gas, AreaRAE monitors with in-case charging, and can be equipped with the Host Controller for monitoring from a command center up to two miles away. The system can scale up to 32 AreaRAEs with the addition of Detector Kits, each containing 4 AreaRAEs. The RDK offers first responders and environmental managers all detection tools they need in two rugged carrying cases.
The AreaRAE monitors can be rapidly deployed and re-deployed in situations that require a quick and adaptable response. They can be arranged in a perimeter to detect chemical hazards and to monitor the environmental safety of a large public event. The units help response teams gain control over potentially perilous situations by assessing the environment and determining the geographic disbursement of hazardous gases and chemicals. Housed in a military-grade self-contained case, the RDK is easy to transport and easy to deploy.
The RDK also provides protection in the monitoring of environmental remediation, oil, gas platforms, petrochemical applications, and refineries. The AreaRAE can detect gaseous VOCs, LEL, O2, H2S, and CO and offers datalogging for event documentation.
The RDK is also available with a global positioning satellite (GPS) option which includes the ability to track and display readings from up to 32 remotely located detectors on a GPS map.
Key Features
