1. General Information
The AreaRAE-Gamma Multi-Gas Radiation Monitor is a
portable, instrument that provides real-time measurements and
activates alarm signals when exposure exceeds preset limits.
The programmable monitor contains up to five sensors that will
monitor toxic gases, oxygen, combustible gases and gamma
radiation for workers in hazardous environments. Depending
on the type of sensor installed, the AreaRAE-Gamma is
capable of monitoring:
•
Volatile Organic Compounds
PID Sensor using 10.6 eV or 11.7 eV UV lamp
•
Inorganic Compounds
Substance Specific Electrochemical Sensor(s)
•
Combustible Gases
0-100 LEL range with a catalytic bead sensor
•
Oxygen Concentrations
