CHAPTER
1General Information
RAEPoint is an explosion-proof wireless device that both extends the range and enables remote
relay functionality across a wireless mesh network. As part of a wireless mesh network, the
RAEPoint communicates with wireless detectors and controllers and can direct any of its five
internal relays to trigger audible and visible alarms. Remote alarm notifications are critical for
many applications where local device alarms are simply not visible enough or loud enough to alert
a wide area. RAEPoint relay settings can be fully configured wirelessly via the system controller.
RAEPoint can also be configured as a wireless host, and communicate directly with detectors,
providing a localized alarm notification solution that does not require a controller.
Key Features
lFive internal SPDT relays (except in RAEPoint router)
lWireless transmission distance of 1000 ft (300m) line-of-sight and 4921 ft (1500m) for
LoRa. Range can be extended by using wireless routers.
lClass 1, Division 1, and IECEx/ATEX Zone 1 hazardous area certification
lExplosion-proof enclosure for hazardous environment applications
lLEDs indicate status
Applications
lOil and gas exploration
lRefineries and petrochemical plants
lFenceline monitoring
