ChemRAE is the latest in state-of-the-art hand-held Chemical Warfare Agent detection and identification systems. It is RAE Systems' next generation sensor technology based on tested and proven Open Loop Ion Mobility Spectrometry (IMS) technology. The ChemRAE uses an improved Ion Mobility Cell™, which provides enhanced selectivity and sensitivity. It is designed to detect Chemical Warfare Agents (CWAs) and toxic industrial chemicals (TICs).
ChemRAE can be used as stand-alone portable monitor or integrated into an AreaRAE network by using a RAELink2 modem. Integration into an AreaRAE network allows users to add CWA detection to their existing complement of AreaRAE and RAE Systems portable gas monitors.
The ChemRAE weighs less than 2 lbs and can be powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack or AA batteries. The system has clear, simple user interface, which can be operated with just one hand. The display provides the operator with agent class, a bar graph of agent concentration and relative time-based dose. The display also shows a battery life indicator, audible alarm level, date and time.
