RR-3000 Rig Rat III Gas Detector for Wireless Multi-Point Systems by BW Technologies
BW Technologies understands that a-one-size-fits-all model of gas detection systems may not meet the needs of every industry. With the breadth of industries needing gas detection systems, it is only right that gas detection systems be versatile, customizable, and affordable. After years of research and development, BW Technologies presents a breakthrough in gas detection systems. The Rig Rat III is the finest fully customizable, portable, stand alone gas detection system in the world.
Versatility
From drilling rigs to refineries and chemical plants to loading docks, the versatility of the gas detection system is nearly endless. The unique design allows for monitoring the perimeter of a worksite (including large worksites) and is provides the portability necessary for mobile worksites. In fact, the Rig Rat III is the only mobile, stand alone, multi-point gas detection system in the world.
The modular design allows worksites to customize the Rig Rat III wireless multipoint gas detector with sensors to meet their individual needs. The unit features plug-in ports for all unit features and field interfaces. This allows the unit to be completely flexible and versatile to meet the needs of the wide variety of industries applying the monitoring system.
A wide variety of antennas are also available for signal transmission.
Features
The unit features 2-way real time communication for encoded digital signals up to 3 kilometers. The unit also features 3 power modes: battery, solar, and line-capable. This provides two additional back-up power solutions to help ensure onsite performance. The stand alone system also helps to reduce installation costs by 75% by eliminating powering conduit and associated expenses.
The stand alone gas detection system features 2 sensor ports with plug-in sensor cables with a range of up to 250 feet. These remote sensors are color coded and zero maintenance for easy installation.
In the event of alarm activation and hazardous gas detection, the Rig Rat III gas detector activates the red alarm LED indicators, "DANGER" flashes across the display, the audible alarm is activated at approximately 85 decibels, the alarm port options activate, and the LCD readout displays the concentration of gas present. Users can customize the alarm feature to activate at high or low alarm levels. In addition to dangerous atmospheric conditions, the alarms also activate when a sensor is missing or damaged, a battery is low, or when communication is lost.
The durable stainless steel Rig Rat III wireless independent receiver controllers with remote plug-in options are the main communication hub for the Rig Rat III gas detection system. The controller provides alarm information and gas readings for 8 or less distant sensors up to 3 kilometers away. The controller is in constant communication with the remote sensors and detectors providing real-time atmospheric information and notifications. The wireless controllers also allow for optional plug-in modules to further customize the Rig Rat III gas detection system.
User friendly
Despite its versatile and customizable design, BW Technologies developed the Rig Rat III to be completely user friendly. With push-button interfaces, multiple unmistakable alarms, security keys, and easy to read LCD displays, the Rig Rat III multipoint wireless gas detection system is a breakthrough in standalone system simplicity.
Customizable options
The Rig Rat III wireless multi-point gas detection system is customizable with numerous accessories and options. With limitless application possibilities, the Rig Rat III is fully customizable with various maintenance-free remote gas sensors, remote gas sensor cables, three power choices (battery, solar, VAC line chargers), data collection, audio and visual alarm options, relays, and mounting kits.
