Full Product Description

 
The ppbRAE is the worlds first Photo-Ionization Detector (PID) capable of monitoring volatile organic compounds (VOC's) at the parts per billion (ppb) level. It is the most sensitive handheld VOC monitor in the world that detects extremely low level, low vapor pressure and highly toxic Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC's) such as nerve agent, pesticide residues and low level permeation breakthrough detection.

Features
  • New patented planar, dual channel PID detector
  • New super bright UV lamp
    - Increased sensitivity down to 1 ppb
    - Reduced humidity interference
    - Improved linearity
    - Easily accessible lamp and sensor
  • Strong, built-in sample draw pump with pump stall feature
    - Prevents liquid flow into the monitor
  • Snap-in, field replaceable NiMH rechargeable battery
    - 10 hours of continuous monitoring
    - Smart battery charging
    - Alkaline battery holder supplied
    - Automotive charger available
  • Large keys operable with 3 layers of gloves
  • Large easy to read back light display
  • Alarm activated
    - Preset alarm thresholds for STEL, TWA, low and high level peak values
    - Audio buzzer and flashing LED display will be activated when the limits are exceeded
  • Rubber protective boot
  • 1Measure more chemicals than with any other PID: With over 100 Correction Factors built into the ppbRAE Plus’s 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’s library, its alarms points are automatically loaded into the meter.

Applications

  • Indoor air quality in new, sick and mixed usage buildings
  • Searching for Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) and chemical warfare agents (CWA's)
  • 3-second response enables quick assessment of patients in decontamination lines
  • Emergency response to hazardous spills
  • VOC Outgassing of new building materials (carpets, fabrics, adhesives, paints)
  • Hospital emergency room patient off gassing
  • Ethylene oxide, Formaldehyde
  • Breathe sampling
  • Personnel monitoring of very toxic compounds – MDI, TDI
  • Personal monitoring of low volatile toxic compounds
  • Heat exchange fluids in petrochemical plants
  • Pesticides and pesticide residues
  • Hypo-allergenic studies in chemical clean rooms
  • Laboratory fume hood breakthrough
  • Personal protective equipment (PPE)-Breakthrough, Decision making
  • Environmental Survey instrument
  • Leak detection, Residue studies
  • Drug detection


Warranty:

Lifetime on non-consuming components (per RAE Standard Warranty), 1 year pump, 1 year battery, 1 year for 10.6eV PID lamp


Return On Investment (ROI):

To determine the ROI for the PPBRAE instrument, you have to ask yourself a few questions based around your particular application.

1.) How often do you send samples out to a lab for analysis?

2.) How long do the results take to come back to you from the laboratory? 

3.) Is or could your process be down during this time? 

4.) What would be the cost associated with the above questions?
(For example, Process down time, labor involved, loss due to product deliverability, etc.)

 Automatic Control Solutions has found that in almost all cases, the ROI can be recovered in a matter of a couple of months.  Some clients have have seen their ROI in a matter of weeks and are actually recovering spent money from previous laboratory analysis due to the efficiency of this device.
