RAE Systems New RAEPoint Fixed Head Wireless Relay Delivers Increased Worker Safety in Industrial Hazardous Environments
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wireless Remote Alarm Notification System Provides Safety Managers With a
Rapidly Deployable, Cost-Effective Solution
COPENHAGEN, DENMARK--(Marketwire - September 5, 2012) - Workers at large
industrial facilities and oil and gas exploration sites face the constant threat
of exposure to sour and flammable gases at potentially toxic levels. Remote
alarm notifications are critical for alerting them to these potential safety
hazards, especially where local device alarms are simply not visible or loud
enough to cover a wide area.
To address this issue, RAE Systems Inc., a leader in delivering innovative gas
sensors and radiation detector solutions, today announced its new RAEPoint Fixed
Head Wireless Relay, an explosion proof wireless device that both extends the
range and enables remote relay functionality across a wireless mesh network.
RAEPoint communicates with wireless detectors and controllers and can use any of
its five internal relays to trigger audible and visual alarms. The RAEPoint
relay triggers external alarms and lights to provide additional alert
notification in noisy environments. Hazardous environment alarms can now be
displayed not only at gas monitors and the host controller but also at remote
locations via wireless relay switches.
By providing wireless connectivity for remote alarm notification devices,
RAEPoint users can save significant time and expense that is required when
running signal cabling in hazardous environments. In addition, wireless
connectivity increases the speed of system deployment and increases worker
safety by removing trip hazards associated with excess cables.
"RAEPoint elevates the safety levels of workers in hazardous environments by
wirelessly extending the range of alarm notifications and delivers this critical
user benefit at a lower cost," said Chris Toney, RAE Systems Chief Operating
Officer. "RAE Systems is continuously striving to extend its leadership in
enhancing worker safety through its R&D efforts focused on the development of
innovative technologies."
The remote relay functions as a wireless router, extending the range of the
wireless mesh network up to 300m point-to-point, and provides redundancy by
adding an additional routing node. The RAEPoint is certified for ATEX Zone 1
hazardous locations, and is compatible with all RAE Systems MeshGuard wireless
gas detectors and Mesh Routers. The RAEPoint is offered as a standalone unit, or
as part of an integrated wireless alarm bar solution, mounted and pre-wired with
two 5J xenon lights and an 110db horn. Each RAEPoint can be configured as a
router, remote or host on a wireless mesh network.
The RAEPoint relay settings can be fully configured wirelessly via the system
controller. RAEPoint can also be configured as a wireless host and communicate
directly with detectors. This provides a localized alarm notification solution
that does not require a controller.
Availability
RAEPoint will be initially introduced in Europe and other regions that adhere to
ATEX and IECEX safety standards for hazardous areas. The product will be
available through RAE Systems distribution partners in a variety of
configurations and as a standalone wireless unit.
