RIG RAT II - Multipoint Wireless Gas Detection System

RIG RAT II

The stainless steel RIG RAT II is state-of-the-art in gas detection, detecting for combustibles, toxics and/or oxygen hazards. With independent wireless radio signal transmission the self-powered, solar capable detectors provide the ultimate in flexibility and versatility.

Rig Rat II is totally modular in design with  plug-in ports for all field interfaces: remote sensors, remote alarms, relays, solar power, etc.

Microprocessor based operation and forefront sensor technology assures reliability and performance.

Eliminate Signal and Power Lines:
Signals are transmitted via coded radio channels and each unit in the system is independently powered. Cut installation costs up to 75% by eliminating the cost of cabling, wiring, conduit and trenching. System components, Detectors, Sensors, Controllers, Remote Alarms, Relays, etc. are all independent of signal and power lines.

 

 Some Typical Applications:

  • Perimeter Monitoring

  • Petrochemical Plants 

  • Petroleum Refineries

  • Petroleum Plants

  • Pulp and Paper Mills

  • Hazardous Waste Sites

  • Disaster Response Teams

  • Drilling Rigs

  • Offshore Platforms

  • Service Rigs

  • Pipelines

  • Gas Plants

  • Nuclear Plants

  • Sewage Treatment Facilities

  • Ammonia Plants

 

 

 

 

Field Tough: Rig Rat II provides field proven performance in extreme conditions from the arctic to the desert.  

Easy Installation: Installed and operating by your field personnel in approximately 30 minutes. Equipped with a rugged weatherproof stainless steel enclosure and built-in mounting flanges, simply mount the Detector to the wall and supply power.

Facility Monitoring: Multi-point systems can be expanded to 1000 or more individual monitoring points with each Detector coded to a separate channel.

Perimeter Monitoring: Provides the most cost-effective solution to perimeter monitoring.

Portable Monitoring: The only portable, multi-point monitoring system in the world.  Field-proven on mobile work sites such as drilling/service rigs and disaster response teams.

Detector Sub-Site Controller: The Detector may activate remote relays and a solenoid driver to control Emergency Shutdown Devices (ESD), building ventilation systems and other field interfaces plus remote audible/visual alarms.
