RLE Technologies Introduces Wi-Fi Carbon Dioxide Sensor
Detect Changes in CO2 Levels Over Large Areas Through Preexisting Wi-Fi Networks
Fort Collins, CO – April 19, 2022 — RLE Technologies, a leading provider of patented raised floors and containment, web-based monitoring solutions, and leak detection systems for mission-critical facilities, has added the WIFI-CO2 sensor to their popular line of wireless monitoring products. The WIFI-CO2 monitors three critical facility metrics: carbon dioxide, temperature, and humidity.
“Facilities have eagerly adopted Wi-Fi sensors,” says Tom Metzinger, RLE’s Vice President of Sales. “These sensors communicate on an existing Wi-Fi network, so they quickly enhance facility oversight. The WIFI-CO2 is an important addition to our product line because it supports several different verticals. IAQ is an increasingly critical issue for office spaces and schools, and monitoring CO2 is an important piece of any fresh air strategy. Prime CO2 levels are also pivotal to the growth, maturation, and yield of plants so we’re seeing gains in horticulture as well.”
“Designing our CO2 sensors has been a fun project,” says Brian Jones, Firmware Engineer, RLE Technologies. “In order to develop the best sensor for our customers, I researched how CO2 affects different environments. For instance, when people are in an enclosed space, you want to drive down CO2 levels to help occupants be healthy and alert. We demonstrated that in our offices – we could see CO2 readings plummet and people felt fresher just by opening a door. But conversely in a horticulture environment, plants thrive in higher CO2 levels. It’s fascinating how an alarm condition for one customer can be an ideal range for another customer.”
RLE’s WIFI-CO2 wireless carbon dioxide sensor is in stock now and ready to ship.

RLE Technologies Expands Spot Detector Product Line
SD-RO2 Provides Local Alarm Notification with LED, Audible Alarm
Fort Collins, CO – July 20, 2021 — RLE Technologies, a leading provider of patented raised floors and containment, web-based monitoring solutions, and leak detection systems for mission-critical facilities, has expanded their spot detector line of products with the addition of the SD-RO2.
“The SD-RO1 is far and away our most popular spot detector,” says Don Raymond, RLE’s founder and CTO. “When you have product that reliably sells tens of thousands of parts a year, you know it’s a proven success. And then you start thinking about how you can branch out from that successful product and offer an expanded version that meets additional market needs and customer requests. We often have customers who purchase audible alarms or sirens to go with their leak detection. These upgrades make the SD-RO2 a very natural evolution of our spot detectors.”
The SD-RO2 builds on the success of the SD-RO1. The SD-RO2 detects leaks just like the SD-RO1: place it in a location where a leak is likely to occur, and the device will alert you to the presence of water or another liquid leak. The electronics are potted, so the unit can be almost completely submerged in water and still sends a leak alert. The following additions really set the SD-RO2 apart:
- The SD-RO2 has two relay outputs which allow alarms to be integrated into two separate BMS or DCiM systems.
- The SD-RO2 has LEDs and an audible alarm, so local staff immediately see and hear an alert when a leak is detected.
RLE’s SD-RO2 is in stock now and ready to ship.

- Transmission Range: The WiNG system has an unprecedented transmission range: up to 600 feet indoor, direct line of sight. While this range is more than ample for most situations, sometimes applications require signals to be pushed through more complex physical or noisy RF environments. The WiNG-RXT range extender can be implemented in these situations to add up to 1,000 feet direct line of sight transmission distance to the application.
- Transmission Accuracy: WiNG demonstrates an accuracy of data packet transmission above 98%. This means the data you see is accurate and timely.
- Open Protocol Communication: The WiNG-MGR includes SNMP, Modbus, and BACnet protocols for integration into a larger BMS.
- No Recurring Costs: The WiNG-MGR hosts its own web pages and you own all of your data – with absolutely no subscriptions or additional fees.
Swanner is enthusiastic about this product rollout, “Our SeaHawk orange leak detection cable and Falcon FMS monitoring products are already well known in International markets. We’ve built the same reliability and quality into our WiNG products, and we’re excited to show our customers how WiNG can be used to wirelessly monitor their unique facility needs.”
WiNG managers, sensors, and range extenders are in stock and available now for immediate shipment.

RLE Technologies Introduces Low Smoke Zero Halogen Leak Detection Sensing Cable
Patented, Reliable Leak Detection Cable Now Available In Low Smoke Zero Halogen Composition
Fort Collins, CO – April 18, 2018 — RLE Technologies, a leading provider of web-based monitoring solutions and leak detection systems for mission-critical facilities, announced today that it has added a new product to their leak detection portfolio of products: low smoke zero halogen leak detection sensing cable.
RLE’s low smoke zero halogen (LSZH) cable responds to leaks in just the same way and just as quickly as the company’s orange leak detection sensing cables – water is detected and a signal is sent back to the leak detection controller, identifying the leak and sending notification to responsible parties immediately. In addition, LSZH cable is specifically formulated to release significantly less smoke and zero halogen upon combustion. In the event of a fire the smoke released by the LSZH cable is lower in quantity, less optically dense (easier to see through), and releases fewer toxic and corrosive gases than other leak detection cables. This makes exiting a space safer for employees and accessing the source of a fire easier for emergency personnel. These intrinsic characteristics make RLE’s LSZH cable an excellent fit for specialty installs and applications with limited ventilation including subway tunnels, nuclear power plants, aircraft, tanks, ships and submarines, and subsea or offshore installations.
“We’ve been in the leak detection marketspace for more than 30 years,” says Don Raymond, RLE’s CTO and Founder. “We’ve learned to listen to the ever-changing needs of our customers, and have seen our products deployed in areas with specific sets of requirements. The addition of this low smoke zero halogen cable lets us meet the needs of these facilities’ specialized requirements while providing the standard of leak detection that RLE is known for.”
RLE’s LSZH cable can be used inline with their patented orange leak detection sensing cable and can be used in new applications and integrated seamlessly into any existing RLE leak detection monitoring systems. LSZH cable is in stock now and available for immediate shipment.

RLE Technologies Receives Patent for Embedded Mapping in Nested Facility Management Devices
Latest patent awarded for innovative mapping and nesting features that employ a distributed monitoring model in facility management systems
Fort Collins, CO – January 25, 2017 – RLE Technologies, a leading provider of web-based monitoring solutions and leak detection systems for mission-critical facilities, announced today that it has been awarded a patent by the United States Patent and Trademark Office for its Facilities Management System. This newly patented technology provides a highly interactive, visual representation of the facilities, sites, and equipment monitored by RLE environmental monitoring devices.
U.S. Patent No. 9,420,042, entitled “Facilities Management System” and marketed by RLE Technologies as Delta View, encompasses both the unique nesting feature currently used in RLE Technologies’ Falcon product line as well as the interactive mapping feature used in both the Falcon and SeaHawk product lines. Nesting allows a system of facilities management devices and sensors to be networked through linked map images. The visual links change state to report the existence of alarm conditions. This allows users to quickly analyze data from their connected equipment and immediately locate the sensor or networked hardware that has activated the alarm. The innovative technology integrates various management systems and communications protocols and provides a wide range of options for facility managers as their monitoring needs expand.
The new patent also covers the mapping technology found in both the Falcon monitoring system and a variety of RLE Technologies’ leak detection solutions. Interactive mapping allows users to upload a graphic (such as a facility map) to the facility management system and pinpoint the location of their monitoring tools which can include sensors, leak detection cable points, and other hardware devices. When alerts from these devices and points are activated, facility managers have a clear idea where the alarm is located and can rapidly respond to and address the problem.
“As critical facilities continue to grow in size and complexity, difficulties in their accurate and timely monitoring have been compounded,” said Don Raymond, Chief Technology Officer of RLE Technologies and co-inventor of the new system. “The distributed monitoring model within the Delta View nesting technology allows one facility monitoring system to be the single pane of glass for thousands of other linked monitoring systems, all of which have mapping capabilities. This allows facility managers to quickly identify which device is the source when an alarm occurs and gives them the opportunity to solve a problem before it can cause downtime.”
Don Raymond is one of the founding partners of RLE Technologies and has been developing new techniques and products to protect mission critical facilities for more than 30 years. In pursuit of this goal, he has been awarded nine patents.
