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)

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)

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

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

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

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 >2 ppm or ppbRAE reads >500 ppb, then the sensor needs cleaning

Two main operating modes: 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.

Two-Point Calibration *Dashed (- - -) line is automatic return

Zero calibration Press Y/+ to select Zero Calibration Press MODE to return to main display Press N/- to select Span Calibration

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

Press Y/+ to enter 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.

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

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

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

To remove unit from charger 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

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

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
