MiniRae 3000 PID Flashcards
What type of batteries does it take and how many?
It takes 4 AA batteries
How long will it operate with full battery life?
12 hours
What is the response time?
2 seconds
What kind of lamp do we use?
10.6 eV. Our lamp will not read anything with an IP above that.
What is the range?
0.1-15,000 ppm
What does the PID detect? What does it measure in?
Volatile Organic Compounds. Anything with carbon in it. Measures toxicity in ppm. Does not detect LEL
What modes can the PID operate in and which one do we use?
Hygiene mode and Search. We use hygiene.
Explain how both modes work.
Hygiene- Continuous monitoring
Search- Starts and stops manually by pressing mode (middle) button
How many gases are in the library?
Over 200
What are the ways to calibrate the PID?
Zero Cal- Using zero gas or a fresh air environment
Span Cal- 100ppm Iso bottle
What is the PID calibrated to?
Isobutylene
How many CCs of air should the pump draw?
450-550 cc/min
How many feet will the pump draw?
Horizontally: 200 ft
Vertically: 90 ft
or 100’
How many feet per second will the pump draw?
3 ft/s
How many seconds does calibration take?
60 seconds
