Title: Using the


1
  • Using the
  • MiniRAE 3000

2
MiniRAE 3000 ppbRAE 3000
3
Agenda
  • Self-cleaning
  • User Interface
  • Turning on the MiniRAE 3000
  • Recommended Daily Start-up procedure
  • Hygiene mode displays
  • Alarm signals
  • Programming mode
  • Charging station

4
MiniRAE 3000 Self-Cleaning
  • Patented RAE Systems Breakthrough!
  • Lamp runs for 4 hours during charging
  • Generates small amounts of ozone to scrub sensor
    and lamp clean
  • Without probe user will see lamp glow purple
    during charging
  • Increases lamp life
  • Drastically increases PID stability and reduces
    requirement for cleaning (Refer to TN-165)

5
MiniRAE 3000 Self-Cleaning duty-cycle
Normal operating pump
Pump during duty-cycle
  • Normal operation, pump shows inflow and outflow
  • Duty-cycle, pump shows inflow and pump stopped
  • With pump stopped, lamp generates small amounts
    of ozone which helps to scrub sensor and lamp
    clean
  • Pump starts, dirt is removed from lamp
  • Drastically increases PID stability and reduces
    requirement for cleaning (Refer to TN-165)

6
User Interface
LEDs and flashlight
  • User Interface
  • Y/ tests alarms
  • N/-
  • MODE (on)
  • Flashlight on/off key

Display

Flashlight on/off key
7
Control Buttons
  • Y/ always controls left-hand response
    increases numerical values
  • N/- controls right-hand response moves to next
    digit
  • MODE controls center returns to previous menu

8
Start-up Turning On
  • Press and hold
  • Release Mode key
  • Self-test
  • Final display

9
Start-up Programmable Zero calibration
  • Unit performs Zero calibration after warm-up
  • apply zero gas
  • If in fresh air, the M3K can be calibrated,
  • The ppbRAE 3000 needs Zero grade air, or a
    Zeroing kit

10
Start-up Lamp Alarm
  • Lamp alarm may occur on start-up
  • This indicates that PID lamp has failed to light
  • Wait 1-2 minutes
  • If Lamp message remains, turn off MiniRAE 3000
    and restart
  • Lamp alarm clears and MiniRAE 3000 is ready for
    use
  • If after restart, Lamp message remains, the PID
    needs service

11
Start-up Humidity Check
  • It is important to check if the instrument
    responds to moisture
  • Cup hand over inlet or breathe into inlet for
    10-20 seconds
  • Do not block flow
  • If M2K reads gt2 ppm or ppbRAE reads gt500 ppb,
    then the sensor needs cleaning

12
Hygiene/Search Mode
  • Two main operating modes
  • Hygiene Mode The factory default mode. After
    warm-up the meter samples continuously
  • Search Mode After warm-up the pump shuts off
    and Ready is displayed.

13
Hygiene Mode/Basic User
Dashed (- - -) line is automatic return
14
Hygiene Mode/Advanced User
Dashed (- - -) line is automatic return
15
Hygiene Mode/Advanced User
  • Change reference gas without entering Programming
    Mode
  • Change measurement gas when reference gas is
    Isobutylene

16
Hygiene Mode
  • Reading in ppm
  • Gas information
  • Calibration needed
  • Wireless status
  • Battery status
  • Datalog
  • Pump Status
  • Press N/- to move to next screen

17
TWA/STEL/PEAK
  • TWA reading
  • STEL reading
  • Peak reading
  • Press Y/ to clear
  • Press N/- to move to next screen

18
Date/Time/Temp
  • Date
  • Time
  • Internal temperature
  • Press N/- to move to next screen

19
Gas Display
  • Calibration Gas
  • Measurement Gas
  • Correction factor
  • Press N/- to move to next screen

20
PC Communication
  • Enter PC communication and stop sampling
  • Press Y/ to enter PC Comm mode
  • Press Y/ to exit after communication is complete
  • Press N/- to move to next screen

21
Alarm signals
22
Search Mode
  • A discrete sampling mode can easily start/stop
    datalogging for many points
  • Perfect for drum or headspace sampling
  • Optional graphic screen

23
Optional Graphic Screen
  • Using ProRAE Studio, set display to graphic
    display
  • Or
  • Leave display in ppm reading

24
Search Mode/Basic User
Dashed (- - -) line is automatic return
25
Search Mode/Advanced User
  • Change reference gas without entering Programming
    Mode
  • Change measurement gas when reference gas is
    Isobutylene

26
Programming Mode
  • Press and Hold N/- and MODE to enter Programming
  • Input password 0000
  • Or Press MODE

27
Programming Mode
  • Navigate using interface of Select, Back, and
    Next
  • Press MODE to exit Programming
  • Y/ to increase numerical values or confirm a
    question
  • N/- to decrease numerical values or deny a
    question

28
Two-Point Calibration
Dashed (- - -) line is automatic return
29
Zero calibration
  • Press Y/ to select Zero Calibration
  • Press MODE to return to main display
  • Press N/- to select Span Calibration

30
Zero calibration
  • If in fresh air, the M3K can be calibrated,
  • The ppbRAE 3000 needs Zero grade air, or a
    Zeroing kit
  • Press Y/ to start calibration

31
Span Calibration
  • The menu will return to calibration selection
    with Span Calibration highlighted
  • Using a Matched-flow regulator, tedlar bag, or
    500 cc/min regulator, attach 100ppm Isobutylene
    for the MiniRAE 3000 or 10ppm Isobutylene for the
    ppbRAE 3000
  • Press Y/ to enter Span calibration.
  • Press N/- to skip Span calibration and return to
    Zero calibration.
  • Press MODE to exit and return to the top
    calibration menu.

32
Span Calibration
  • Turn on your span calibration gas.
  • Press Y/ to initiate calibration.
  • Press N/- to abort calibration

33
Span Calibration
  • Calibration is complete when instrument reads
  • Span 1 is done!
  • Reading xxx. ppm
  • Instrument then returns to Zero Calibration menu
  • Select MODE to return to regular Operations
  • Instrument will then update settings

34
Power Off
  • Hold for full 3 seconds
  • Audible alarm will beep and unit will countdown 5
    seconds
  • Release when you see Unit Off
  • Unit will stay on if you release MODE key before
    countdown completes

35
Charging unit
  • To Charge unit
  • Push instrument down on charger
  • Set back of unit against back wall of charger
  • To remove unit from charger
  • Push down on instrument
  • Pull unit towards you

36
Removing battery
  • Rubber boot stays on monitor
  • First push down on tab
  • Then pull battery from instrument

37
Charging battery
  • Use back of charging station to charge battery
    externally
  • Push into contacts
  • Lay battery flat
  • To remove battery
  • Push battery towards station
  • Lift battery off of charging station

38
Maintenance
  • Clean PID Lamp Sensor
  • When display creeps upwards after good zero
  • When PID responds to moisture
  • When movement of PID results in response on
    display

Clean Sensor
Dirty Sensor
Bias Electrode
Bias Electrode
Sensing Electrode
Sensing Electrode
No dirt build-up to foster a decrease in airspace
resistance
Dirt build-up absorbs water and breaks down
airspace resistance leading to sensor leakage
or moisture response
