The Rig Rat III wireless multi-point system continuously monitors for toxic gases, combustibles and oxygen hazards. The self-contained, intrinsically safe site controller is equipped with built-in alarms for instant notification. Independent power, wireless digital signal transmission and plug-in options provide total flexibility. Engineered for maximum cost-effectiveness, the Rig Rat III transmits real-time digital data as far as 1.8 miles (3 km). Installation costs are reduced by up to 75% through eliminating the need for cabling, wiring, conduit and trenching.
 

The Stand-Alone Solution

The rugged Rig Rat III detection system provides multi-point monitoring for toxic gases, combustibles and oxygen hazards. Self-powered and solar-capable, the Rig Rat III features unequalled versatility, with an extensive range of field configurations. With real-time, two-way data transmission and remote sensing capabilities, the Rig Rat III represents the new generation of stand-alone system technology.

The Rig Rat III is the world's only portable, multi-point, wireless gas detection system proven on mobile work sites, drilling rigs, oil platforms, and with disaster response teams all over the world. The fully self-contained Rig Rat III continuously monitors for toxic gases, combustibles and oxygen hazards. The self-powered and solar-capable Rig Rat III provides wireless, real-time, two-way, data transmission up to 2 miles (3 km) by means of a built-in, digital license-free, ISM band RF transceiver. Signal and power line costs are eliminated, and maintenance-free combustible sensors remove the need for time-consuming upkeep requirements. The solar-capable Rig Rat III is completely modular in design, with plug-in ports for all field interfaces, including remote sensors, remote alarms and relays. Add, change or reconfigure system components as your requirements evolve. The Rig Rat III's microprocessor-based operation and forefront sensor technology assures peerless reliability and performance. The Rig Rat III is the ultimate in stand-alone detection.
 
Field Tough: Rig Rat III provides unwavering performance in extreme conditions, from deserts to the Arctic.

Easy Installation: Equipped with a rugged weatherproof stainless steel enclosure and built-in mounting flanges, simply mount the detector to the wall and supply power.

Facility Monitoring: Multi-point systems can be expanded to 100 or more individual monitoring points, with each detector coded to a separate channel.

Perimeter Monitoring: The most cost-effective solution to perimeter monitoring.

Portable Monitoring: The only portable, multi-point monitoring system in the world--field-proven on mobile work sites, such as drilling/service rigs, HAZMAT and disaster response teams.

Detector Sub-Site Controller: The detector can activate remote relays and a solenoid driver to control emergency shutdown devices (ESD), building ventilation systems and other field interfaces.

Rig-Rat III Accessories & Options:
  

 
Mix, match or change the gas type and/or measuring range. Install one or two sensors as desired. Configuration is simple with plug-in, rugged sensor units and simple rotary switch to change type of sensor and range. The detector is equipped with 10 ft. / 3.3 m plug-in remote cables (Standard).

Remote Sensor Cables:
Toxics and oxygen: 250 ft. /76 m
Combustibles: 100 ft. / 30 m
Optional cables of up to 250 ft. 76 m are available

Solar: Plug-in stainless steel, solar panels allow continuous operation in remote and isolated locations. Available in 5, 10, and 20 watt versions to accomodate system power requirements.

Line Power: 12 or 24 VDC direct or 110/230 VAC trickle chargers power each detector at an adjacent power supply, with short cable runs.

Independent Battery: Detector will operate on battery for up to 30 days depending on sensors used.

Remote, plug-in audible/visual alarms alert personnel that there is an alarm condition on site. Alarms are powered by the controller or detector. Wireless audible/visual alarms provide warning at property entrances and perimeters in the event of an alarm condition. Coded to receive a signal from a detector, the audible/visual alarms will immediately activate when an alarm condition is transmitted.

Plug-in, 10 amp SPDT AC/DC single and dual relays trigger site-specific interfaces and are powered by the controller or detector.

 


Solenoid Driver: Activates process or fluid control systems, if required.

Datalogger: Data collected is expressed in %LEL, ppm or % by volume, as required. IBM compatible.

Note: The detector is equipped with two option ports. a 4-port MOB (multiple option box) is available for the inclusion of additional interfaces.

Optional Receiver Alarms are equipped with their own RF transceiver with a 1.8 mi./3 km transmission radius. Receiver alarms include built-in backup battery, and may be operated continuously by means od a 5 watt solar panel.


Tripod and wall mount kits are available to simplify installation. Tripod kits accept 5, 10 and 20 watt solar panels.

The Repeater Station effectively doubles the transmission range of the detector. The repeater station is equipped with both a radio receiver and a transceiver that relays the alarm signal to the controller. A 5-watt solar panel will provide continuous power.
