AreaRAE Gamma

The AreaRAE Gamma is a combination toxic gas and gamma radiation detector equipped with a wireless, RF (radio frequency) modem that allows the unit to communicate with and transmit sensor and GPS readings on a real-time basis to a remotely located base controller located up to 2 miles away.

In stand alone operation, 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. It is also the first “lunchbox” type multi-sensor instrument able to include a gamma radiation sensor for measurement of gamma radiation, 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.

The RF modem allows real-time data transmissions with a base controller located up to two miles (3.2 km) away from the AreaRAE Gamma detector. A personal computer can be used as the base station. The standard ProRAE Remote software used to control AreaRAE Gamma systems is capable of monitoring the input of up to 32 remotely-located monitors.
