RAE Systems Introduces QRAE II, Next Generation Four-Gas Toxic Monitor


    RAE Systems Inc. (AMEX:RAE), a leading global provider of rapidly
    deployable sensor networks that enable customers to identify safety
    and security threats in real time, today introduced QRAE II, the next
    generation in basic four-gas worker protection. This new monitor
    includes a patented, solid-polymer electrochemical (SPE), lead free,
    oxygen sensor. It also features easy access to the battery compartment
    and all of the sensors including the oxygen, combustible, carbon
    monoxide and hydrogen sulfide sensors. The QRAE II is designed and
    certified for use in hazardous environments including oil refineries,
    petrochemical plants, steel mills, wastewater treatment plants,
    landfill operations, coal mines, sewers, trenches and other confined
    space entry operations.

    "The QRAE II is the first product to use our patented, lead free,
    RoHS compliant, next generation, longer life, solid polymer oxygen
    sensor," said Thomas Negre, RAE Systems' Global Product Director for
    Instrumentation Products. "This is a global product that supports
    eight languages and three character sets. It has been designed and
    tested to have the best EMI/RFI noise immunity in the industry to
    prevent interference from cell phones and handheld walkie-talkies."

    The QRAE II is the first gas detector to include a lead-free
    oxygen sensor designed to meet the new global directives on the
    Reduction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS), including lead. The
    instrument can be powered by either rechargeable lithium-ion batteries
    or standard alkaline batteries. The large display on the QRAE II can
    be electronically flipped to the orientation of the worker for either
    handheld or belt mounted operation. The QRAE II also includes a new
    visual graph display in addition to the actual sensor readings.

    The QRAE II features easy access to the filters, battery and
    sensors with out exposing the electronics, making field changes both
    safe and quick. The product has both CSA (for use in the Americas) and
    ATEX (for use in Europe) certifications for safe use in potentially
    explosive environments. The rugged instrument is IP-65 rated for water
    and dust resistance. The unit supports eight languages including:
    Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Korean, Portuguese and
    Spanish. The operator interface is the proven two-button system
    pioneered by RAE Systems to work even with dual-layer gloves. The unit
    includes vibration, flashing LED and loud 95dB audible alarms to keep
    workers safe and aware in a mix of environments. Calibration is done
    quickly and easily with a single button or when docked to the AutoRAE
    calibration and bump test station.

    The QRAE II will be offered alone or in a confined space entry kit
    that includes tubing, sample probe, air pump, tool kit, calibration
    gases and a hard case. QRAE II is compatible with AutoRAE for
    automated charging, bump testing and calibration. For more information
