The RAID-S2 is a gas trace detector for the detection of chemical warfare agents (CWA’s) and toxic industrial chemicals (TIC’s). It is based on proven Ion Mobility Spectrometry technology. The RAID-S2 is specifically designed for long-term operations in a 24/7 environment with preventive maintenance required only once a year. It is ruggedized for military and civil defence environments.

Due to automatic polarity switching, the RAID-S2 continuously detects and identi­fies all relevant chemical warfare agents. The built-in microprocessor evaluates the recorded ion mobility spectra. The identified agents and calculated concentrations are shown on the display. Sophisticated detec­tion algorithms and the new ammonia based dopant significantly reduce false alarms.

The device can be operated in two different modes for the detection of CWA’s or TIC’s. In both modes protection against overloa­ding is provided.

All applications can be used under field conditions as well as on vehicles, ships and in shelters, without interference from filter systems.

The RAID-S2 is specially designed for long-term operations and can be used under various environmental conditions. The instrument can either be operated stand alone or it can be integrated into a network containing several instruments.
