To set up the RAE SYSTEM AutoRAE 2 for testing and calibration, follow these steps:
1. Before using the AutoRAE 2 Controller and Cradles, program the gas configurations by referring to the AutoRAE 2 User's Guide.
2. Assemble the system by connecting the AutoRAE 2 Controller to the Cradles, and then connect the Terminator. For ToxiRAE Pro Cradles, insert the appropriate adapter.
3. Ensure that an SD card is installed in the AutoRAE 2 Controller. The system cannot operate without an SD card. Refer to the AutoRAE 2 User's Guide for installation instructions.
4. Set the AutoRAE 2 Controller's RTC (real-time clock) in ProRAE Studio II before its first use.
5. Toggle the switch on the side of the AutoRAE 2 Controller to turn on the system. The display, power LED, and LEDs on the Cradles will light up. The system will perform a self-checkout to test the internal pump and valves. If the self-checkout is successful, the system is ready to use.
6. Make sure the calibration gases match the configurations created in ProRAE Studio II and transferred to the AutoRAE 2 Controller. Also, ensure that the gas cylinders have sufficient gas and are properly attached.
7. Place the instrument in the Cradle face-down, aligning it correctly with the contacts on the Cradle's charging port. Use the capture mechanism to lock the instrument in place.
8. The instrument will automatically begin charging and warming up when placed in the Cradle. The warm-up time depends on the sensors installed in the instrument.
9. The AutoRAE 2 Controller has a color display that uses different colors to indicate status. Refer to the User Guide for a detailed explanation of the color codes.
10. You can perform bump testing and calibration on all or individually selected instruments in the Cradles. Refer to the User Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to perform these operations.
11. To remove an instrument from a Cradle, press the button to release the capture mechanism and lift the instrument from its inlet end.
12. Each AutoRAE 2 Cradle automatically charges an instrument's battery when docked. The Charge Status LED will indicate the charging status.
13. If using the AutoRAE Controller with Cradles, you can use an Active Carbon Filter to remove VOC from the air. Follow the instructions in the User Guide to install the Active Carbon Filter.
14. Handheld PID monitors (MiniRAE Lite, MiniRAE 3000, ppbRAE 3000, or UltraRAE 3000) must be equipped with a Quick Connector. If not already installed, follow the instructions in the User Guide to install the Quick Connector.
Please refer to the RAE SYSTEM AutoRAE 2 Automatic Testing & Calibration User Guide for more detailed instructions and information.
