UltraRAE is a quick spot-check monitor, typically used by occupational health, safety and environmental personnel. The combination filter tube and PID removes the disadvantages associated with colorimetric tubes and gas chromatographs.
Interchangeable RAE-Sep Filter Tubes
- Benzene
- Methylene Chloride (Halocarbon)
- Butadiene (Polymer manufacture)
Key Features
- The only compound-specific monitor with combination of interchangeable separation tubes and PID
- 3 to10 times faster analysis vs. conventional tube or portable gas chromatograph methods
- Results obtained in seconds (<75 seconds) rather than minutes
- Detects benzene down to 0.1 ppm in 60 seconds
- 3,000 - point datalogging storage capacity for data download to PC compatible with Windows 98, NT, 2000 and XP
- Excellent range and linearity
- Good down to 0.1 ppm and up to over 200 ppm benzene (no more GC column overload problems)
- More accurate than gas detection tubes
- Internal pump
- Allows you to sample deep (up to 30ft or 10m) into a confined space
- Prevents liquid flow into the monitor
- Warns if sample tubing is blocked or crimped
- Low cost of ownership
- Inexpensive analysis due to low-cost RAE-SepTM tubes vs. gas detection tubes
- Cheaper than portable GC, and no annual factory calibration
- Large keys operable with 3 layers of gloves
- Large easy-to-read backlight display
- Alarm activated
- Darkness or manually activated
- Optional vibration alarm
- Snap-in rechargeable or alkaline battery pack, 10 hours of operation with smart battery charging
Size
- 7.75"L x 2.75"W x 1.5"H (19.7 x 7.0 x 3.8 cm)
Weight
- 16 oz with battery pack (455g)
Detector
- Photoionization detector with vacuum UV lamp
