The MiniRae 3000 is the most advanced handheld volatile organic compound (VOC) monitor on the market. Its photoionization detector's (PID) extended range of 0 to 15,000 ppm makes it an ideal instrument for applications from industrial hygiene to leak detection and HazMat.
The RF modem allows real-time data transmissions with a base controller located up to 500 feet away from the MiniRae 3000 (or up to two miles with the optional RaeLink3 portable modem). A personal computer can be used as the base station for a MiniRae 3000 system. The standard ProRae Remote software is capable of monitoring the input of up to 64 remotely located monitors, including the MiniRae 3000 and AreaRae.
