The rugged ppbRAE Plus is the most sensitive handheld volatile organic compound (VOC) monitor in the world. Its Photoionization Detector (PID) provides true parts-per-billion (ppb) detection for applications from indoor air quality (IAQ) to HazMat/Homeland Security.

The ppbRAE Plus detector can be made wireless with the use of RAELink. 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 bases with an AreaRAE base controller located up to 2 miles away.



The ppbRAE Plus monitor has replaced the original ppbRAE monitor. Any current customers with a ppbRAE monitor may send it to the factory for an upgrade to the ppbRAE Plus monitor for a nominal fee. For further information on this detector, please contact your appropriate RAE Systems

Key Features
 
  New extended range from 1 ppb to 2,000 ppm
  Proven PID technology: The patented dual channel 3D sensor provides a 3-second response time and sets a new standard for resistance to moisture and dirt, while the superbright 10.6eV lamp provides extra sensitivity for low ppb measurements.
  Exclusive zeroing tube assures repeatability at low level measurements with a disposable VOC zeroing tube.
  Self-cleaning lamp and sensor: Our patented self-cleaning lamp and sensor minimize the need for maintenance and calibration.
  The ppbRAE Plus lamp and sensor can be taken 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 ppbRAE Plus’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 the ppbRAE Plus’s library, its alarms points are automatically loaded into the meter.
  User friendly screens make it easy to use for simple applications and flexible enough for sophisticated operations.
  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 ppbRAE Plus lets you finish the job.
  Stores up to 267 hours of data at one minute intervals for downloading to PC (with the datalogging option).
