MiniRAE 3000 Flashcards
(20 cards)
What type of detector does the MiniRAE 3000 use?
Photoionization Detector (PID)
The MiniRAE 3000 utilizes a PID for detecting various gases.
What is the maximum measurement range of the MiniRAE 3000 using the 10.6 eV lamp?
15,000 ppm
This range allows for effective monitoring of VOCs.
How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
4 hours
Charging time may vary based on usage and conditions.
What type of battery does the MiniRAE 3000 use?
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion
Lithium-Ion batteries provide longer life and faster charging.
Which mode is the default operational mode of the instrument?
Search Mode
This mode is typically used for initial gas detection.
How is a low battery indicated?
Flashing battery icon with a beep every minute
This alert helps ensure the user is aware of battery status.
What is the flow rate of the internal pump?
450–550 cc/min
The pump flow rate is crucial for accurate gas detection.
What should you press to turn the instrument on?
[Y/+]
What type of gases does the PID sensor primarily detect?
VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds)
PID sensors are sensitive to a wide range of organic vapors.
How many data points can the MiniRAE 3000 store?
100,000
This storage capacity facilitates extensive data logging.
What alarm signals are given for high exposure limits?
Three beeps and flashes per second
This alert is critical for safety in high exposure situations.
What should be done before using the instrument for the first time?
Fully charge and verify calibration
Ensures the device operates correctly from the start.
Which function is NOT available in Basic User Level?
Adjusting pump duty cycle
Basic users have limited access to certain advanced functions.
How is a zero calibration initiated?
Applying fresh air and pressing [Y/+]
What is the purpose of the external PTFE filter?
Prevent dust from entering sensor
This filter helps maintain sensor integrity and accuracy.
How often should calibration be performed?
Before each day’s use or every 30 days
Regular calibration is essential for accurate readings.
What happens if the pump is obstructed?
The alarm activates and the pump icon flashes
This feature helps prevent damage to the instrument.
Which accessory is used during zero calibration?
Calibration Adapter
Essential for accurate zero calibration process.
What is the resolution of the 10.6 eV lamp?
1 ppm
This resolution allows for precise detection of low concentrations.
Which of the following can be set in Programming Mode?
Measurement Gas
Programming mode allows customization for specific applications.
