The MiniRae 2000 is no longer available. Please contact AFC International for other options.

The rugged MiniRae 2000 is the smallest pumped handheld volatile organic compound (VOC) monitor on the market. Its Photo ionization Detector (PID) extended range of 0-10,000 ppm makes it an ideal instrument for applications from environmental site surveying to HazMat/Homeland Security.

Features

• Proven PID technology - The patented 3D sensor provides a 3 second response up to 10,000 ppm and sets a new standard for resistance to moisture and dirt.
• Self cleaning lamp and sensor - Rae's patented self cleaning lamp and sensor minimize the need for maintenance and calibration
• The MiniRae 2000 lamp and sensor can be taken apart in seconds for easy maintenance without any tools!>Measures more chemicals than with any other PID - With over 100 correction factors built into the MiniRae 2000 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 form the MiniRae's 2000's library, the 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 than the 10 hours supplied by the standard NiMH battery, the drop in alkaline pack supplied with every MiniRae 2000 lets you finish the job.
• Rugged rubber boot - the standard rubber boot helps assure that the MiniRae 2000 survives the bumps and knocks of tough field use.
• Strong, built in sample pump draws up to 100 feet horizontally and vertically.
• Tough flexible inlet probe
• Large keys operable with 3 layers of gloves
• Stores up to 267 hours of data at one minute intervals for downloading to PC (with the datalogging option).
• 3 Year 10.6 eV lamp warranty.
