SAN JOSE, CA — (Marketwire) — 02/02/12 — When conducting remote
exploration operations and working in hazardous and rugged
environments, there is a critical safety need to keep gas detection
systems constantly powered — especially in areas where flammable
gases or vapors present a health or safety threat.

To solve this challenge, RAE Systems Inc. today introduced its new
SolarPak, an intrinsically safe, stand-alone 24/7 remote solar
powered solution for wireless gas detection systems. SolarPak
complements RAE Systems– PowerPak by delivering an uninterrupted
power supply that enables its Mesh Guard Gas Detection Systems to
monitor gas in remote exploration sites 24/7.

The RAE Systems SolarPak is the only solar solution certified for
Class I, division I (ATEX Zone 0) hazardous locations, and is
compatible with all RAE Systems MeshGuard wireless gas detectors and
Mesh Routers.

The SolarPak features an integrated solar panel and charge controller
to charge the RAE PowerPak external battery, which enables continuous
operation of gas detection systems. The remote, stand-alone SolarPak
and RAE PowerPak solution dramatically reduces labor and maintenance
costs by eliminating the need for expensive trenching and cabling or
periodic changing of batteries.

RAE Systems MeshGuard Gas Detection System
RAE Systems– MeshGuard
Wireless Gas Detection System is a battery operated, rapidly
deployable hazardous area monitoring system that combines advanced
gas-detection technology with the latest in wirelessly connected data
systems. Its rugged design delivers reliable performance in harsh and
potentially hazardous industrial environments, such as oil
refineries, oil and gas exploration, oil and gas production, plant
maintenance turnarounds, tank farms and facility fenceline
monitoring. With the addition of the SolarPak the MeshGuard System is
deployable in virtually all hazardous locations.

–Uninterrupted access to toxic and flammable gas data is critical to
health and safety operations in hazardous remote environments. The
SolarPak allows us to significantly expand the functionality of our
MeshGuard product line by filling a need in the marketplace for a
24/7, intrinsically-safe, remote power supply for use in rugged
environments,– said Thomas Negre, RAE Systems Vice President of
Products and Marketing. –Our new SolarPak solution is capable of
supporting sensors with significant power requirements, such as the
industry standard LEL catalytic bead which can now be met
around-the-clock with the RAE Systems SolarPak.–

A complete MeshGuard gas detection system can be deployed in minutes,
and will operate continuously — even in cloudy conditions — with
the RAE PowerPak and SolarPak. The standard pole and wall mount
adjust easily to maximize energy production at different geographic
locations.

Availability
The SolarPak is available now and is sold through
distribution both in the U.S. and other global locations. Customers
interested in information or purchasing the SolarPak should contact
RAE Systems– local distributor or their regional sales manager.
