RAE Systems SolarPak Enables Uninterrupted Wireless Gas Detection in Hazardous Environments
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
New SolarPak Connects to RAE PowerPak External Battery; Enables 24/7 Operation
of Rapidly Deployable MeshGuard Gas Detection Systems at Hazardous Locations
SAN JOSE, CA--(Marketwire - February 2, 2012) - When conducting remote
exploration operations and working in hazardous and rugged environments, there
is a critical safety need to keep gas detection systems constantly powered --
especially in areas where flammable gases or vapors present a health or safety
threat.
To solve this challenge, RAE Systems Inc. today introduced its new SolarPak, an
intrinsically safe, stand-alone 24/7 remote solar powered solution for wireless
gas detection systems. SolarPak complements RAE Systems' PowerPak by delivering
an uninterrupted power supply that enables its Mesh Guard Gas Detection Systems
to monitor gas in remote exploration sites 24/7.
The RAE Systems SolarPak is the only solar solution certified for Class I,
division I (ATEX Zone 0) hazardous locations, and is compatible with all RAE
Systems MeshGuard wireless gas detectors and Mesh Routers.
The SolarPak features an integrated solar panel and charge controller to charge
the RAE PowerPak external battery, which enables continuous operation of gas
detection systems. The remote, stand-alone SolarPak and RAE PowerPak solution
dramatically reduces labor and maintenance costs by eliminating the need for
expensive trenching and cabling or periodic changing of batteries.
RAE Systems MeshGuard Gas Detection System
RAE Systems' MeshGuard Wireless Gas Detection System is a battery operated,
rapidly deployable hazardous area monitoring system that combines advanced gas-
detection technology with the latest in wirelessly connected data systems. Its
rugged design delivers reliable performance in harsh and potentially hazardous
industrial environments, such as oil refineries, oil and gas exploration, oil
and gas production, plant maintenance turnarounds, tank farms and facility
fenceline monitoring. With the addition of the SolarPak the MeshGuard System is
deployable in virtually all hazardous locations.
"Uninterrupted access to toxic and flammable gas data is critical to health and
safety operations in hazardous remote environments. The SolarPak allows us to
significantly expand the functionality of our MeshGuard product line by filling
a need in the marketplace for a 24/7, intrinsically-safe, remote power supply
for use in rugged environments," said Thomas Nègre, RAE Systems Vice President
of Products and Marketing. "Our new SolarPak solution is capable of supporting
sensors with significant power requirements, such as the industry standard LEL
catalytic bead which can now be met around-the-clock with the RAE Systems
SolarPak."
A complete MeshGuard gas detection system can be deployed in minutes, and will
operate continuously -- even in cloudy conditions -- with the RAE PowerPak and
SolarPak. The standard pole and wall mount adjust easily to maximize energy
production at different geographic locations.
Availability
The SolarPak is available now and is sold through distribution both in the U.S.
and other global locations. Customers interested in information or purchasing
the SolarPak should contact RAE Systems' local distributor or their regional
sales manager.
