Rae RAELink3 Quick Reference

The RAELink3 compact, portable radio-frequency modem provides long-range
wireless communication between remote portable air monitors and a base
station/computer for comprehensive monitoring. Up to 64 RAELink3-equipped
monitors can be networked with a single Host. For applications requiring long-
distance monitoring or monitoring in locations with obstructions to clear line-of-
sight communication, RAELink3s configured as Repeaters extend the effective reach
of the system.
The RAELink3 can be configured to act in one of the following modes:
1. Remote. The RAELink3 Remote functions as a slave modem and
communicates to a host modem with the same network ID.
2. Remote G. The RAELink3 Remote G functions as a slave modem to
communicate readings from a GammaRAEII R personal radiation detector to a
host modem with the same network ID.
3. Host. The RAELink3 Host functions as a host modem and communicates with
multiple wireless modems (such as the RAELink3 Remote and RAELink3
Repeater, as well as AreaRAE products equipped with RAELink-family Remote
modems) with the same network ID.
4. Repeater. The RAELink3 Repeater functions as a repeater for RAELink3
Remote modems (or AreaRAE or RAELink series products) with the same
network ID.

Connection With Third-Party Devices

The RAELink3 can be configured as a slave modem to communicate sensor data
from select 3rd party monitors back to a host modem with the same network ID.
Current third-party monitors available to choose from include ChemRAE,
LifeShirt, DustTrak and AP4C.

Battery Replacement

The RAELink3 can use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery or an alkaline battery
pack. It can also be operated on its charger. To take the rechargeable battery or
alkaline battery pack out of the RAELink3, remove the 3 hex-socket screws and
lift it out. To replace the AA batteries in the alkaline battery pack, remove the
two hex-socket screws on the inside, remove the cover, and replace the 5 AA
batteries (Duracell MN1500 or Energizer E91 only). Make sure that the polarity
("+" and "-") for each battery is correct. Do not mix old and new batteries. Only
change batteries in a non-hazardous location.
