  • Page 3 OPERATION 2.4.1 Survey Mode After the monitor is turned on, it runs through the start up menu. Then the message “Ready..” is displayed (see figure below). At this point, the user has two options: (1) step through the operation menu (see below), or (2) take a measurement (see page 16).
  • Page 4 OPERATION The displays are arranged in a “round robin” order: To choose a specific display, press the [MODE] key one or more times until the desired display appears. Ready Mode xxx ppm/ppb PC comm? Peak Cancel background? xxx ppm/ppb Run Time Gas= hh:mm Log on/off?
  • Page 5 OPERATION “Ready..” To choose a specific display, press the [MODE] key one or more times until the desired display appears. Taking a measurement: There are two ways to start a measurement: (1)operating in the Hygiene mode and (2) manually starting and stopping measurement in the Survey mode.
  • Page 6 The internal charging circuit is designed to prevent damage to alkaline batteries and the charging circuit when alkaline batteries are installed inside the monitor. Note: The AA Alkaline battery adapter supplied by RAE Systems Inc. is intrinsically safe! 3. External Filter...
  • Page 7 OPERATION OF ACCESSORIES 4. VOC Zeroing Tubes VOC Zeroing Tubes (P/N 025-2000-010) are used for filtering organic air contaminants that may affect the zero calibration reading. VOC Zeroing Tube Flex-i-Probe Tube tip breaker Tube adapter 1) Connect the tube adapter to the Flex-I-Probe by inserting the tip of the sample probe into the smaller end;...

    PROGRAMMING 4.1 Programming Mode The programming mode allows users to change the setups in the monitor, calibrate the monitor, modify the sensor configuration and enter user information, etc. The programming mode has four menu items. Each menu item includes several sub-menus to perform additional programming functions.
  • Page 9 PROGRAMMING This procedure determines the zero point of the sensor calibration curve. To perform a zero air calibration, connect the tube adapter, break off both ends of a VOC zeroing tube and insert the tube into the adapter. 1. Press the [Y/+] key at the "Zero Cal?" prompt to start the zero calibration 2.
  • Page 10 PROGRAMMING 4.4.2 Span Calibration This procedure determines the second point of the sensor calibration curve for the sensor. A cylinder of standard reference gas (span gas) fitted with a 500 cc/min. flow- limiting regulator or a flow-matching regulator is needed to perform this procedure.
  • Page 11 PROGRAMMING 4.4.4 Changing the Span Value Note: The minimum span gas concentration is 1 ppm. This function allows the user to change the span values of the calibration gases. 1. “Change Span Value?” is the fourth sub-menu item in the Calibration sub-menu. 2.

    PROGRAMMING 4.6 Viewing or Changing the Datalog The ppbRAE monitor calculates and stores the concentration and ID of each sample taken. In the datalog sub-menu, a user can perform the tasks and functions shown in Table 4-5. Datalog Sub-Menu Table 4-5. Datalog Sub-Menu. View Data? Clear Data? Change Data Period?
  • Page 13: Viewing Data (Datalog)

    PROGRAMMING 4.6.1 Viewing Data (Datalogging) This function allows the user to review all the data that is stored in the non-volatile datalog memory. Data is stored in groups or “events.” Each event consists of the event time (hour : minute : second), and measurement values.

    PROGRAMMING 4.7 Changing the Monitor Setup Several monitor specific variables can be changed in this menu. The following is a list of configuration data that can be modified by the user. Table 4-6. Monitor Setup Sub-Menu Change Operation Mode? Change Site ID? Change User ID? Change Alarm Mode? Change User Mode?
  • Page 16: Changing The Pump Speed

    PROGRAMMING 4.7.11 Changing the Pump Speed There are two pump speeds of approximately 600 cc/min and 400 cc/min designated as “high” and “low,” respectively. 1. “Change Pump Speed?” is the eleventh sub-menu item in the Monitor Setup menu. 2. Press the [Y/+] key and the display shows the current pump speed: “Pump = Low?”...
  • Page 17 PROGRAMMING 4.7.9 Changing the Units Table 4-7. Units Sub-Menu Display Unit = ppb? Display Unit = ug? Display Unit = ppm? Display Unit = mg? The user can change the display and datalog units from parts per billion (ppb), micrograms per cubic meter (ug), parts per million (ppm), and milligrams per cubic meter (mg).
