Wireless Operation
Wireless settings are controlled via the
Programming Mode menu items under "Wireless."
In order to save time while operating the instrument
in a network, it is best to configure the settings
before taking it into the field. Consult the User's
Guide for more detailed instructions.
1. Enter Programming Mode by pressing and holding
[MODE] and [N/-] simultaneously until the password
screen appears.
2. Input the 4-digit password. (The default password
is "0000." If you do not know the password, select
"Done.") Then follow the instructions for individual
or multiple zero and span calibration.
3. Press [N/-] repeatedly until "Wireless" is
highlighted.
Note: If the AreaRAE Pro or AreaRAE Plus is equipped with Wi-Fi, and Wi-Fi is used as the
primary radio instead of ISM, then a Wi-Fi access point substitutes for the RAELink3 Host.
4. Check that the radio is turned on, the PAN ID
matches the PAN ID of the network, and matches
the channel of the network, too. Select Join Network
if a network is already established. You may also set
the reporting interval and turn on the off-network
alarm.
5. When you are done with the settings, press
[MODE] to go back to the programming screen,
and [MODE] again to return to the main screen.
6. Start the RAELink3 wireless modem and ProRAE
Guardian on your computer. (If your computer has a
built-in wireless modem, the RAELink3 modem is not
necessary. Make sure the computer's modem is on.)
7. The antenna icon and signal-strength bars should be
shown on the screen's upper-left corner.
8. Check that data is being received by ProRAE
Guardian.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
1. The AreaRAE Plus/Pro shall only be fitted with
RAE Systems Battery Pack type W01-3007-
000.
2. The instrument shall only be charged outside
hazardous areas.
No precautions against electrostatic discharge are
necessary for portable equipment that has an
enclosure made of plastic, metal, or a combination
of the two, except where a significant static-
generating mechanism has been identified.
Activities such as placing the item in a pocket or on
a belt, operating a keypad or cleaning with a damp
cloth, do not present a significant electrostatic risk.
However, where a static-generating mechanism is
identified, such as repeated brushing against
clothing, then suitable precautions shall be taken,
e.g., the use of anti-static footwear.
CERTIFICATIONS
Caution: Refer to the AreaRAE Pro/Plus User's Guide
for safety certification information.
