MiniRae PID Travel Charger
|
A lightweight mains travel charger is supplied as standard with all rechargeable battery packs. This unit also includes a serial port connector - used as a means of applying firmware upgrades or for downloading date (from MiniRae 3000 and higher models only). The separate 12V car adaptor cable, which is not supplied with battery pack options, is required for plugging the charger into a 12V outlet in a vehicle. |

MiniRae Calibration Gases and Regulators (Steel Cylinders)
|
For calibration of Mini RAE Lite and 3000 PIDs either 100 ppm or 10 ppm Isobutylene gas in air is commonly used. For calibration of the UltraRAE 3000 benzene specific PID, use 5ppm benzene in air. All gases supplied by RAE are contained in 34L steel cylinders. A special hazardous goods charge applies for supply of these items - please ask. For use with 34L steel gas cylinders, RAE supply either a constant flow regulator (CGA600 female thread, 0.5 l/min - Waterra part no: MR/R001) or a higher spec demand flow regulator (CGA600 female thread - Waterra part no: MR/R002), which has an instrument controlled variable flow gas discharge rate. |

Other Calibration Gases and Regulators (Aluminium Cylinders)
|
Gases can be sourced from any good scientific gas supplier such as STG (www.stgas.eu) who can supply disposable aluminium gas cylinders in variable sizes. Please note: If using disposable aluminium cylinders, or for gas bottle sizes greater than 34L in aluminium or steel, a flow regulator with male thread is required (C-10 male thread, 1 l/min - Waterra part nos: MR/R004 or MR/R005). |

MiniRae PID External Filters
|
Supplied in packs of 5 or 10, these disposable external disc filters (0.45 µm,45mm dia) are an absolute essential when using PIDs to prevent contamination by dust, dirt or moisture (including rain). Filters push fit onto the end of the Flex-I Probe using the (supplied) metal connector. |

MiniRae PID Filter Tubes
|
Disposable filter tubes for better sampling results. For working in high humidity environments, such as landfill sites, use humidity tubes to remove high concentrations of moisture. VOC Zeroing tubes provide a simple means of calibrating the MiniRae instrument to zero by removing background concentrations of VOC in air (e.g in petro-chemical atmospheres). This will provide more accurate and reliable VOC detection from targeted monitoring points or zones. Humidity and VOC tubes are supplied in packs of 10 and require a tube adaptor (Waterra Part no MR/F003) to connect to the tip of the Flex-I-Probe. For benzene measurement use RAE-Sep benzene tubes for high accuracy measurements with the UltraRAE 3000. Supplied in packs of 5. |

MiniRae PID Spares and Tools
|
Lamps do become coated over time and regular cleaning with a lamp cleaning kit is essential to retain accuracy. MiniRAE monitors are supplied with a lamp cleaning kit on purchase . Many other spares and accessories are available for all MiniRae products, including the MiniRAE 2000 series. Call us for more information. |
