Once the startup process is complete, a sensor warm-up screen is shown (with countdown, if necessary). Then the main measurement screen is shown. The type of monitored hazard is displayed, with current reading. The ToxiRAE Pro PID is now ready for use. 7. Turning The ToxiRAE Pro PID Off Press and hold [MODE]. In 2 seconds, a 5-second countdown to shutoff begins, accompanied by one buzzer beep per second. You must hold your finger on the key for the entire shutoff process. If you remove your finger from the key during the countdown, the shutoff operation is canceled and the ToxiRAE Pro PID continues normal operation. When you see “Unit Off,” release your finger from the [MODE] key. The ToxiRAE Pro PID is now off. 8. Testing The Alarms (Manually) Under normal non-alarm conditions, the buzzer, vibration alarm, and LEDs can be tested at any time by pressing and holding [Y/+]. Important! If any of the alarms does not respond to this test, check the Alarm Settings. It is possible that any or all of the alarms have been turned off. If all the alarms are turned on, but one or more of them (buzzer, LED lights, or vibration alarm) does not respond to this test, do not use the instrument; contact your RAE Systems distributor for technical support. 15 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 9. Low Battery Warnings If, during operation, the battery’s charge is low, the battery icon in the display screen turns empty and blinks once every second. At the same time, the following notifications occur every minute: the buzzer beeps and LEDs blink once, followed by a vibration and a screen message “Battery low! Shut off in X minutes.” The countdown to shutoff starts 10 minutes prior to automatic shutoff. 10. Dead Battery Warning & Shutoff If you turn on the ToxiRAE Pro PID and the battery’s charge is below its lowest threshold, the display shows this message: Battery too low! Needs charging. Powering off! It then automatically shuts off. You must charge the ToxiRAE Pro PID’s battery before you can continue to use this instrument. Important! Do not operate the ToxiRAE Pro PID again until its battery has been charged. WARNING! To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres, charge the battery only in areas known to be non-hazardous. 16 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 11. Operating The ToxiRAE Pro PID 11.1. Overview The ToxiRAE Pro PID has two operational modes: • • Normal — see page 17 for detailed instructions. Diagnostic — see page 51 for detailed instructions. The following is an overview of the two modes: Normal Mode is the default mode. It is accessed when you turn on the ToxiRAE Pro PID. Two sub-modes are available: Basic User and Advanced User. In Basic User, some restrictions are applied, including password protection that guards against entering Programming Mode by unauthorized personnel. In Advanced, there are no such access restrictions (you do not need a password), and it provides the indications and data you need most for typical monitoring applications. Diagnostic Mode is primarily intended for technicians to use during troubleshooting, although it also offers access to a few changeable parameters that you may rarely (if ever) need to change. A password is required to enter Diagnostic Mode (the password is the same as (and automatically kept in sync with) the one used to enter Programming Mode). The default password is 0000. To enter Diagnostic Mode, power the instrument off and then turn it back on by pressing and holding both the buttons. In Diagnostic Mode, ToxiRAE Pro PID displays readings in raw counts instead of units such as parts per million (ppm). It is not possible to switch to Programming from Diagnostic Mode without turning off the instrument first and then restarting it in the desired mode. 11.1.1. Normal Mode Normal Mode is the default mode of the ToxiRAE Pro PID when it is turned on. The selected sub-mode (Basic or Advanced) determines the number of screens that are accessible. 17 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 11.1.2. Basic User Mode When the ToxiRAE Pro PID is in Basic User Mode, pressing [MODE] allows you to step through the screens in the following fashion: Note: The gray boxes indicate the datalog functions when datalogging is in Manual mode. When datalogging is in Automatic mode, these screens do not appear. Refer to page 30 for information on selecting Automatic or Manual datalogging. 18 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 11.1.3. Advanced User Mode Note: To enter Advanced User mode from Basic User mode, you must enter Programming mode on an instrument that is running in Basic User mode by simultaneously pressing and holding both the buttons for 3 seconds and supply a password. To exit Programming Menu and return to the measurement screen (in Advanced User mode), press the [MODE] button repeatedly to highlight the Exit icon in Programming Menu and press Y to exit to the measurement screen. When the ToxiRAE Pro PID is in Advanced User mode, pressing [MODE] steps through the same screens, but with the addition of a screen that allows for selection of different measurement gases from the internal library. Also, once in Advanced User mode, you may enter Programming without using a password. Note: In Advanced User Mode, you may select different measurement gases from the internal library. Note: The gray box indicates the datalog functions when datalogging is in Manual mode. When datalogging is in Automatic mode, these screens do not appear. Refer to page 30 for information on selecting Automatic or Manual datalogging. 11.2. Navigation In Normal Mode Step through the screens in Normal Mode by pressing [MODE]. Some screens allow actions on your part, such as clearing the data. In these instances, pressing [Y/+] performs the action. 19 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 11.2.1. TWA, STEL, Peak The first screen includes a readout for TWA, STEL, and Peak readings. TWA The TWA (time-weighted average) reading is the average reading of the gas concentration times that the monitor has been on, prorated to an 8-hour period. STEL Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) data based on 15-minute STEL values, expressed in ppm or mg/m3 . A STEL value is only displayed after the ToxiRAE Pro PID has been on for 15 minutes or longer. After exiting PC Communications mode, the STEL is reset. Peak The Peak value tells you the highest reading for the sensor since the ToxiRAE Pro PID was turned on. Press [Y/+] twice to clear the Peak value. Note: If you do not press a key within 1 minute, the display reverts to the normal reading. Press [MODE] to advance from screen to screen. 11.2.2. Date, Time, And Temperature The current Date is expressed as Month/Day/Year, with two digits for month and day, and four digits for the year. Below the date is the time, which is expressed as Hours/Minutes/Seconds, with two digits for each. The time is in 24-hour (military) format. Below the time is the internal temperature, which can be in degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius (settable in Programming Mode). 11.2.3. Wireless Settings The current wireless settings are shown here. These include the Roaming, PAN ID, Channel, and Unit ID, which are helpful when creating or troubleshooting networks. Parent ID data does not apply. 11.2.4. Calibration Gas, Measurement Gas, Correction Factor This screen shows calibration gas (Cal. Gas), measurement gas (Meas. Gas), and correction factor (CF). 20 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 11.2.5. Enter Communications and stop measurement? Before communicating with a PC running ProRAE Studio II Instrument Configuration and Data Management software (for downloading datalogs, configuring the instrument, or uploading new firmware), the ToxiRAE Pro PID must be set to communicate with the computer.

The Man Down Alarm is based on the premise that if the instrument is motionless when it is not supposed to be, something wrong may be happening to its user. If that is the case, the ToxiRAE Pro PID not only goes into alarm locally on the instrument, but also remotely, over the RAE Systems Dedicated Wireless Network, to notify people in the vicinity, as well as remote safety officers at a command center, that a person is down, so that help can be dispatched quickly. Whenever the Man Down feature is on, the main screen displays a Man Down icon along the top to indicate it is active: 28 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide When the Man Down feature is on and there is no gas alarm, the ToxiRAE Pro PID senses that it is motionless for the amount of time set in the “Motionless Time” parameter. If the instrument is not moved during that time, then a pre-alarm is activated to alert the user, and shows the “Are You OK?” screen. Pressing [Y/+] clears the alarm and returns the ToxiRAE Pro PID to its normal operation. Pressing [MODE] sets it into Man Down Alarm (and if wireless connectivity is enabled, a Man Down message is sent in real time to remote observers). If neither key is pressed, then after the countdown, it goes into Man Down Alarm (again sending a message to remote observers if wirelessly enabled). Settings are available for: • Off/On • Motionless Time (time the instrument is motionless before initiating a pre-alarm) • Sensitivity (set to low, medium, or high to compensate for ambient vibration or motion) • Warning Time (countdown, in seconds, from pre-alarm to Man Down alarm) When the Man Down alarm is activated, the buzzer sounds and LEDs flash continuously, and a countdown begins. • • • If the ToxiRAE Pro PID’s user presses [Y/+] for “Yes” in response to the “Are You OK?” question on the screen before the countdown reaches zero, the Man Down alarm stops and the main reading screen is displayed. If the person does not press [Y/+] for “Yes” in response to the “Are You OK?” question on the screen before the countdown reaches zero, the Man Down alarm is sounded and LEDs flash continuously. If the person presses [MODE] during the countdown, answering the “Are You OK?” question with “No,” the Man Down alarm starts. If the ToxiRAE Pro PID’s wireless connectivity is enabled, a Man Down message is also sent to remote observers. Exit (the Alarm Settings Submenu) Press [Y/+] to exit the Alarm Settings submenu.

Bump Testing & Calibrating The ToxiRAE Pro PID Note: Calibration intervals and bump test procedures may vary due to national legislation. 13.1. Bump Testing & Calibrating With An AutoRAE 2™ Bump testing and calibrating a ToxiRAE Pro PID can be done with an AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test And Calibration Station. Follow all instructions in the AutoRAE 2 User’s Guide for successful bump testing or calibration. 13.1.1. Bump (Functional) Testing With the ToxiRAE Pro PID in Normal Mode: 1. Connect the calibration gas cylinder, flow regulator, and calibration adapter to the ToxiRAE Pro PID and start the gas flow. 2. Make sure the unit goes into alarm and that the buzzer produces at least two beeps per second, the LED lights flash on and off, and the vibration alarm functions. The display backlight should illuminate and an alarm message should be shown in the display. 3. Turn off the gas flow. 4. Remove the calibration adapter. Note: Bump testing and calibration can also be performed by using the RAE Systems AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test And Calibration Station. Refer to the AutoRAE 2 User’s Guide for instructions. 13.2. Calibration Adapter The ToxiRAE Pro PID must be calibrated using a fixed-flow regulator with a flow rate between 0.5 and 1.0 liters per minute. The ToxiRAE Pro PID is supplied with a special calibration adapter that covers the gas fan inlet. If the local air has impurities that might interfere with zero (fresh air) calibration, the calibration adapter and a cylinder of clean zero air should be used. 13.2.1. Connecting The Calibration Adapter 1. Place the Calibration Adapter on the top cap of the ToxiRAE Pro PID by pressing it into place. 2. Attach the hose from the regulator/calibration gas cylinder to the Calibration Adapter’s inlet. 47 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide Caution! After calibration is complete, remove the Calibration Adapter. When monitoring, never operate the ToxiRAE Pro PID with the Calibration Adapter attached. If the Calibration Adapter is attached during normal operation, inconsistent and lower-thannormal readings will occur because of decreased concentration of the gas being monitored. 13.2.2. Disconnecting The Calibration Adapter After calibrating the ToxiRAE Pro PID, you must remove the Calibration Adapter by lifting it off the ToxiRAE Pro PID. 13.3. Zero Calibration This operation sets the zero point of the sensor calibration curve for clean air. Expose the ToxiRAE Pro PID to a clean air source with 20.9% oxygen and without any organic, toxic, or combustible gas impurities. This “Zero Air” can come from a cylinder or clean ambient air. Note: If you use a zero air cylinder, you must use the ToxiRAE Pro PID Calibration Adapter. Using a calibration adapter is not necessary for calibration in fresh air. Turn on the ToxiRAE Pro PID. Once it has been through its startup, enter Programming Mode: 1. Press and hold [MODE] and [Y/+] until you see the Password screen. 2. Input the 4-digit password: • • • • Press [Y/+] repeatedly to select a desired number. Numbers increase from 0 to 9. Once 9 is reached, pressing [Y/+] again “wraps” around back to 0. Step from digit to digit using [MODE]. When you are done, press [MODE] until OK or Cancel is highlighted. Press [Y/+] to register the password (if OK is highlighted) or to exit without entering the password (if Cancel is selected). 48 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide If you make a mistake, you can cycle through the digits by pressing [MODE] and then using [Y/+] to change the number in each position. Note: The default password is 0000. If you do not know the password, do not enter anything. Just press [MODE] repeatedly to highlight OK, and then press [Y/+]. Note: If the ToxiRAE Pro PID is in Programming Mode and you do not press a key within 60 seconds, it exits Programming Mode and re-enters Normal Mode. 1. At the Calibration screen, press [Y/+]. 2. “Zero Calib” is highlighted. Make sure the ToxiRAE Pro PID is in clean air. Otherwise attach a cylinder of zero gas to the Calibration Adapter installed on the instrument. 3. Press [Y/+]. The message “Apply zero gas…” is displayed. 4. Start the flow of the zero gas (if used) and press [Y/+] to start the zero calibration. 5. There is a 60-second countdown, during which time the screen shows the word “Zeroing…” and the countdown. 6. Upon completion, it says “Zeroing is done! Reading = 0.0ppm” along with the reading (it should be 0.0 ppm or very close to it). 7. “Span Calib” is highlighted. Note: You can abort the zero calibration during its countdown by pressing the [MODE] key. Important! If you used the Calibration Adapter and a zero air cylinder, you must remove the Calibration Adapter from the ToxiRAE Pro PID. If the Calibration Adapter is attached during normal operation, inconsistent and lower-than-normal readings will occur because of decreased concentration of the gas being monitored. 13.4. Span Calibration This procedure determines the second point of the sensor calibration curve for the sensor. To begin calibration, connect the calibration gas cylinder, flow regulator, and calibration adapter to the ToxiRAE Pro PID. With the ToxiRAE Pro PID in Programming Mode, and with Span Calib highlighted, follow this procedure: 1. Press [Y/+]. The screen displays the current (or default) calibration gas and its concentration. For example: Cal. Gas: Isobutylene Span=100ppm Change? • Press [MODE] if you do not want to change it. 49 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide • Press [Y/+] if you want to change it. If you entered the Calibration Menu without supplying the correct password, or supplied the correct password but chose not to change the Cal.Gas, you will see a message like this: Cal.Gas: Isobutylene Span=100ppm Apply gas… 2. Press [Y/+] to start calibration. 3. Press [MODE] if you want to quit without calibrating. During calibration, the calibration gas name, its concentration, and the countdown are displayed. Depending upon the device alarm settings, the monitor may go into low and then high alarm once span calibration is complete, which is expected in response to the test gas. Note: You can abort span calibration during its countdown by pressing [MODE]. Upon completion, the screen “Span is done!” appears along with the reading (it should be within 10% of the span gas concentration). Important! After calibration is complete, you must remove the Calibration Adapter from the ToxiRAE Pro PID. If the Calibration Adapter is attached during normal operation, inconsistent and lower-than-normal readings will occur because of decreased concentration of the gas being monitored. 13.4.1. Changing Span Gas Concentration If you selected “Change” for span gas concentration, the following screen appears: 1. Press [Y/+] repeatedly to select a desired number. Numbers increase from 0 to 9. Once 9 is reached, pressing [Y/+] again “wraps” around back to 0. 2. Step from one digit to the next by pressing [MODE]. 3. When you are done, press [MODE] until either “OK” or “Cancel” is selected. Press [Y/+] to register your selection (if “OK” is highlighted) or to exit without registering it (if “Cancel” is selected). 50 ToxiRAE Pro PID User’s Guide 14. Diagnostic Mode In Diagnostic Mode, the ToxiRAE Pro PID provides raw counts for sensor, battery, and other readings. Most of these screens are useful only to service technicians.
