Overview

The RKI Air Alert is a standalone ambient-air gas detector for non-hazardous areas, powered from 115-220 VAC. It takes an electrochemical, infrared or PID sensor for more than 35 gases and refrigerants, outputs 4-20 mA and RS-485 Modbus, and offers relays, a 3-colour LED perimeter alarm or a 900 MHz / 2.4 GHz radio as options.

  • Electrochemical, infrared or PID sensor element
  • Wired power 115-220 VAC (3-wire)
  • Operates from -40 to +70 °C
  • 3 push-buttons with matching magnetic non-intrusive switches
  • Graphical sunlight-readable LCD with LED backlight
  • 4-20 mA (3-wire) and RS-485 Modbus outputs; optional 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz radio
  • Optional 2 dry-contact relays, or optional 3-colour LED perimeter and audible alarm
  • 1-year warranty (2 months for PID with 11.7 eV lamp)

The sensor, range and options are chosen when you order. Request a quote for pricing and availability.
