Description

The MultiRAE Benzene multigas monitor is a groundbreaking new development for gas detection. The MultiRAE Benzene is the industry’s first wireless portable six-gas monitor for low-level, benzene-specific, VOC and multigas gas detection. MultiRAE Benzene detects benzene from 0 to 200 ppm with 0.1ppm resolution by filtering out other VOCs and gases to eliminate cross-interference.

The MultiRae Benzene is the only gas monitor that includes up to 6 gas detection and real time wireless capability, plus benzene-specific measurement. The MultiRae Benzene monitor combines the ability to make quick benzene-specific assessment (snapshot) measurements with the advantages of a versatile multi gas monitor that can support approximately 20 intelligent interchangeable sensor options.

Its optional wireless capability improves safety by providing real time access to instrument readings and alarm status form any location, which delivers better situational awareness and faster incident response.

The MultiRae Benzene monitor’s unique features make it an ideal instrument for industrial applications, from confined space entry pre-screening during plant maintenance to personal protection, leak detection and refinery downstream monitoring.

Accessories

The MultiRae external battery charger allows a MultiRae battery to be charged while it is not housed in the unit. This is ideal for anyone who runs their MultiRae’s 24/7 or on back to back shifts. Now a back up battery can be swapped in without subjecting the instrument to down time. This is a must have accessory. The external battery charger comes as a stand alone unit and requires a power power. An additional accessory is available to group 5 battery charges on a single plastic holder, all of which can be charged simultaneously using a spider charger.

The MultiColor boots for MultiRae allow for customization of the look of MultiRae units. This is especially convenient for customers who operate with several different configurations of MultiRaes. Instead of using labels, or other ways to differentiate MultiRaes, they can assign each instrument a color so that they ensure the right instrument is selected for a given task.
