VRAE
VRAE is a hand-held one-to-five multigas monitor with built-in sampling pump and optional data logging. Sensors include 0-100% LEL, oxygen, and three or four smart, interchangeable toxic sensors may be added. The dual range combustible sensor can monitor explosive gases in an oxygen-free environment at percent-by-volume levels.
