RAE Systems MultiRAE Plus 4 Gas Meter with PID

  • O2, LEL, PID and any two plug-in “smart” toxic sensors: CO, H2S, SO2, NO, NO2, Cl2, HCN, NH2, PH2
  • 0 - 2000 ppm measurements of VOCs
  • Measure more chemicals than with any other PID
  • Drop-in Battery
  • Strong, Built-in sample up draws up to 100 ft.
  • Audible alarms

Designed as a "building block" system, the MultiRAE can be configured from a simple, inexpensive Oxygen/LEL combustible gas monitor all the way to an affordable five gas monitor for total protection in toxic environments. The MultiRAE is easily reconfigured and upgraded to meet your changing needs. MultiRAE's versatility allows it to replace a wide range of monitors, saving training and maintenance costs. The MultiRAE is quickly and easily changed from a sophisticated technician instrument to a simple text or display only monitor. The monitor can be used as personal monitor, a hand-held sniffer, or area monitor.

Most confined space monitors provide less than total protection because they miss many toxic vapors and gases. LEL sensors measure explosivity, not toxicity. Many Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are potentially toxic at levels that are well below the sensitivity of the LEL sensors found in most multi-gas monitors. For example by the time that LEL sensors even respond to gasoline vapors the air is already toxic!

The MultiRAE accurately measures low levels of VOCs without the annoyance of false alarms that are so prevalent with other "broad-band" sensors. Its patented VOC monitor, measures 0 - 2000 ppm of VOCs' while providing continuous display and alarms for worker protection. Alarms can also be set for Short Term Exposure Levels (STEL), Time Weighted Average (TWA), Peaks and Minimums.

The MultiRAE displays the exact airborne VOC levels so that you do not have to guess when to put on respiratory protection. With the MultiRAE you work safer, more efficiently and more comfortably because you can go longer without respiratory protection with complete confidence you are working in clean air.

The MultiRAE Plus 4 gas detector comes standard with the oxygen sensor (O2), combustible sensor (LEL), and photoionization detector lamp (PID). These additional sensors are available:

  • carbon monoxide sensor (CO sensor)
  • hydrogen sulfide sensor (H2S sensor)
  • sulfur dioxide sensor (SO2 sensor)
  • nitric oxide sensor (NO sensor)
  • nitrogen dioxide sensor (NO2 sensor)
  • chlorine sensor (Cl2 sensor)
  • hydrogen cyanide sensor (HCN sensor)
  • ammonia sensor (NH3 sensor)
  • phosphine sensor (PH3 sensor)
