AreaRAE Gamma Steel
The AreaRAE is a one-to-five sensor multigas detector equipped with a wireless, RF (radio frequency) modem. The AreaRAE Gamma is a rugged, weatherproof, one-to-five sensor portable monitor that can run up to 24 hours on either rechargeable Lithium-ion or optional alkaline batteries. The unit contains a photoionization detector (PID) for parts-per-million measurement of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), as well as an LEL combustible gas sensor, oxygen sensor, and a selectable electrochemical toxic sensor.
