Compound-specific measurement
The UltraRAE 3000+ can perform compound-specific measurement in addition to general VOC
measurement. This requires using a RAE-Sep separation tube (butadiene or benzene) and
having the UltraRAE 3000+ in Tube Mode, operating with a 9.8eV lamp.
Measurement phases
To perform a compound-specific measurement, follow this order:
1. UltraRAE 3000+ is ready for sampling
2. Prepare the separation tube
3. Insert the separation tube
4. Start measurement
5. UltraRAE 3000+ displays and logs measurement
6. Remove the separation tube
Performing a measurement
Before performing a compound-specific measurement for Benzene or Butadiene using a RAE-
Sep™ separation tube, make sure the UltraRAE 3000+ is in Tube Mode and that the appropriate
tube type is selected. The UltraRAE 3000+ only acts as a compound-specific measurement
device when it is equipped with a 9.8eV lamp. The user must select the lamp type and it can be
manually set to default to a 9.8eV lamp type.
Make sure the UltraRAE 3000+ is set to operate with your selected tube:
1. Enter Programming Mode.
2. Select Measurement.
3. Select Tube Selection.
4. Make a choice of Benzene or Butadiene.
5. Save your choice.
