The Rapid Deployment Kit (RDK) is designed for quick assessment and management of gaseous threats. The kit includes four wireless, 5-gas, AreaRAE monitors with in-case charging as well as the Host Controller for monitoring from a command center up to two miles away. The system can scale up to 32 AreaRAEs with the addition of Detector Kits, each containing 4 AreaRAEs. The RDK offers first responders and environmental managers all detection tools they need in two rugged carrying cases.

The AreaRAE monitors can be rapidly deployed and re-deployed in situations that require a quick and adaptable response. They can be arranged in a perimeter to detect chemical hazards and to monitor the environmental safety of a large public event. The units help response teams gain control over potentially perilous situations by assessing the environment and determining the geographic disbursement of hazardous gases and chemicals. Housed in a military-grade self-contained case, the RDK is easy to transport and easy to deploy.

The RDK also provides protection in the monitoring of environmental remediation, oil, gas platforms, petrochemical applications, and refineries. The AreaRAE can detect gaseous VOCs, LEL, O2, H2S, and CO and offers datalogging for event documentation.

The RDK is available with two additional options:

• Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) option: Includes the ability to track and display readings from up to 32 remotely located detectors on a GPS map.

• Gamma Radiation option: A Gamma radiation sensor replaces one of the toxic gas sensors on the AreaRAE units. (See the AreaRAE Gamma product description for more details.)
