ppbRae Plus Portable ppb VOC Detection Monitor from Rae Systems
The rugged ppbRae is the most sensitive hand held VOC monitor in the world. Its photo ionization detector provides true parts per billion (ppb) detection for applications from Indoor Air Quality to HazMat/Homeland Security
Features
New extended range from 1ppb 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 super bright 10.6 eV 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 - Rae's 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 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 library, its alarm 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.
Rugged rubber boot - The standard rubber boot helps assure that the ppbRae Plus survives the bumps and knocks of tough field use.
Strong built in sample pump draws up to 100 feet horizontally or vertically
