Toxi Rae Meter Flashcards
What do we have to know prior to using these meters?
What gas are we dealing with (the meter is a gas specific meter)
What 3 gas sensors are supplied for this meter?
Ammonia (NH3)
Chlorine (Cl2)
Cyanide (HCN)
What can you do if the meter fails to stay powered up?
Battery is dead, recharge unit asap.
What powers the meter?
Lithium ion rechargeable battery. (Toxi Rae should be kept on charger when not in use)
What does it mean that the Toxi raw is a “passive” meter?
The meter does not have a pump to pull the gas through. (You can not use a hose or wand.
What does the alarm indication code (MAX) mean?
Gas exceeds electronics max range
What does the alarm indication code (OVER) mean?
Gas exceeds measurement range
What does the alarm indication code (HIGH) mean?
Gas exceeds “high alarm” limit
What does the alarm indication code (LOW) mean?
Gas Exceeds “Low alarm” limit
What does the alarm indication code (STEL) mean?
Gas exceeds “STEL” limit
What does the alarm indication code (TWA) mean?
Gas exceeds “TWA”limit
What does the alarm indication code (CAL) mean?
Calibration failed/needs calibration
What does the alarm indication code (BAT) mean?
Low Battery
How can you find the measurement ranges for each sensor?
Meter will tell you the measurement ranges for each sensor during the meter warm up cycle
How long do the “Smart Cells” last?
About 2 yrs
True/False The Toxi Rae meter can be taken into high temps/moisture
False
True/False exposures to high concentrations can damage cell
True
What can happen if the sensor goes to long without an electrical charge?
The meter can “die”
What must be done when the meter is exposed to “very high” concentrations of gas.
The meter must be left running until cleared (may take hrs to clear)
