The rugged MiniRAE 2000 is the smallest pumped handheld volatile organic compound (VOC) monitor on the market.  Its Photoionization Detector's (PID) extended range of 0-10,000 ppm makes it an ideal instrument for applications from environmental site surveying to HazMat/Homeland Security.

The MiniRAE 2000 detector can be made wireless with the use of RAELink2.  This allows real-time monitoring information from the detector to be integrated into an existing AreaRAE system.  A wireless, RF (radio frequency) modem allows detectors equipped with Firmware version 1.20 or higher to communicate and transmit readings and other information on a real-time basis with a remotely located AreaRAE base controller up to two miles away.

Key Features

  • Proven PID technology: The patented 3D sensor provides 3 second response up to 10,000 ppm and sets a new standard for resistance to moisture and dirt.
  • Self-Cleaning Lamp and Sensor: Our patented self-cleaning lamp and sensor minimize the need for maintenance and calibration.
  • The MiniRAE 2000 lamp and sensor come apart in seconds for easy maintenance without any tools!
  • Measure more chemicals than with any other PID: With over 100 Correction Factors built into the MiniRAE 2000's memory and the largest printed list of Correction Factors in the world (300+), RAE Systems offers the ability to accurately measure more ionizable chemicals than any other PID! When a gas is selected from MiniRAE 2000's library its alarm points are automatically loaded into the meter.
  • 3-year 10.6 eV Lamp Warranty. Lifetime Instrument Warranty.
  • Drop-in Battery: When work schedules require putting in more hours than the 10 hours supplied by the standard NiMH battery, the drop-in alkaline pack supplied with every MiniRAE 2000 lets you finish the job.
  • User friendly screens make it easy to use for simple applications and flexible enough for sophisticated options.
  • Rugged Rubber Boot: The standard rubber boot helps assure that the MiniRAE 2000 survives the bumps and knocks of tough field use.
