    THEORY OF OPERATION 6. THEORY OF OPERATION The Q-RAE monitor uses one to four different sensors to measure a variety of gases. Up to two electrochemical, toxic-gas sensors can be installed in the monitor to measure inorganic toxic gases. A catalytic bead sensor is used to measure combustible gases.
  • Page 132 THEORY OF OPERATION It measures the sensor readings and calculates the gas concentrations based on calibration to known standard gases. The data are stored in non-volatile memory so that they can be sent to a PC for record keeping. RS-232 transceivers provide a serial interface between the monitor and the serial port of a PC.
