Remove monitor cover and sensor module only in an area known to be non-hazardous. Sensors are not interchangeable; use only RAE Systems sensors, and use only the sensor type specified for your ToxiRAE II monitor. Use only RAE Systems batteries. Use of non-RAE Systems components will void the warranty and can compromise the safe performance of this product.

General Information The ToxiRAE II single-gas monitor continuously displays toxic gas concentrations . The ToxiRAE II is a full-featured gas monitor providing continuous, digital display of the selected toxic gas concentration, STEL, TWA and Peak values, as well as high, low, TWA and STEL alarms .
Display Features 1 Zero Calibration 2 Low Battery Indicator 3 Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) 4 Time Weighted Average (TWA) 5 Low Alarm 6,7 High Alarm 8 Parts Per Million (ppm) 9,10 Span Calibration 11 Gas Concentration...
Operating the ToxiRAE II Turning the Monitor ON Make sure the Lithium battery is installed . Hold the button down and release when the display says “on .” The monitor is now on . The monitor performs a self-test preceding the warm-up and zero calibration .
Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) The STEL is the average reading of the gas concentration for the last 15 minutes . NOTE: The STEL reading does not appear until 15 minutes have elapsed . Time Weighted Average (TWA) The TWA is the accumulated reading of the gas concentration since the monitor was turned on, divided by 8 hours .
Program Mode Use the Program Mode to perform any of the following actions (listed in order of appearance): Calibration Changing Preset Limits or Span Gas Values Entering Program Mode (Firmware Version 1.4, sensors for HCN, Cl NO, NO , SO or NH ):The instrument must first be turned on .
. • Calibration intervals and bump test procedures may vary due to national legislation . • RAE Systems recommends using RAE calibration gas . • Any rapid up-scale reading followed by a declining or erratic reading may indicate a gas concentration beyond the upper scale limit, which may be hazardous .
You will see the “CAL” (calibration) and “go” messages switch back and forth on the screen . To advance or skip to the next submenu, press the button once . Zero Calibration (Firmware version 1.7 Only) Note: Zero calibration is performed auto– matically at startup with firmware version 1.4.
Span Gas Calibration To perform span gas calibration, press and hold the button . Release when “go” displays continuously without flashing on and off. The “gAS” and span gas preset value switches back and forth on the screen . During these 10 seconds, connect the span gas to the monitor .

Changing Preset Limits or Span Gas Values High Alarm Low Alarm STEL SPAN Cycle through the submenus by pressing the Example: button once after each; stop at appropriate screen . Changing the High Alarm preset (With Firmware version 1 .4, the monitor returns to the Monitor Mode after the span gas value .) You will see “SEt”...
To exit Program Mode (Firmware version 1.7): Press the button until “Pro” and “End” appear . Hold the button down for 5 seconds and release . The ToxiRAE II is now in Monitor Mode . Maintenance Follow these instructions carefully and calibrate and test your monitor according to this User Manual’s instructions before placing it in service again .

Step 4. Install a Lithium battery (Voltage: 3 .6V, Capacity: 1 .65AH, Size: 2/3AA, P/N: 500-0076-100) . Important! Use only RAE Systems batteries. Use of non-RAE Systems components will void the warranty and can compromise the safe performance of this product.
Replacing the Filter (All Versions) The ToxiRAE II has a removable sensor cover that allows you to change the sensor filter. Replace the filter (P/N: 045-2054-000) when it appears dirty or when the sensor is replaced . To remove the sensor cap, use the calibration adapter to turn the sensor cap one quarter-turn counterclockwise .
(P/N: 045-2054-000) when it appears dirty or when the sensor is replaced . (See Table A for sensor part numbers.) Sensors are not interchangeable. Use only RAE Systems sensors, and use only the sensor type specified for your ToxiRAE II monitor.
