AutoRAE 2 7 User Manual
AutoRAE 2 8 User Manual
Read before operating
This manual must be carefully read by all individuals who have or will have the responsibility of
using, maintaining, or servicing this product. The product will perform as designed only if it is
used, maintained, and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Sensor specifications, cross-sensitivities, and
calibration information
The AutoRAE 2 can be used to calibrate a wide variety of sensors. For calibration information
and specifications and cross-sensitivities of various sensors refer to Honeywell Technical Note
TN-114: Sensor Specifications And Cross-Sensitivities (available for free download from
www.sps.honeywell.com). All specifications presented in this Technical Note reflect the
performance of standalone sensors. Actual sensor characteristics may differ when the sensor is
installed in different instruments. As sensor performance may change over time, specifications
provided are for brand-new sensors.
Make sure firmware is up to date
For best operation, make sure your monitors,AutoRAE 2 Controller and AutoRAE 2 Cradles are
running the latest firmware.
1. Controller firmware.
2. Cradle firmware.
3. Instrument firmware.
Proper product disposal at end of life

CHAPTER
2GENERAL INFORMATION
Automatic test and calibration system
The AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test and Calibration System for new Honeywell portable gas
monitors makes compliance with monitor test and calibration requirements as easy as pressing
a button. Simply cradle the monitor and the system will take care of all calibration, testing, and
recharging.
The AutoRAE 2 is a flexible, modular system that can be configured to meet your calibration
requirements effectively and efficiently. An AutoRAE 2 system can be as simple as a single
cradle deployed in standalone mode to calibrate one instrument at a time, or as powerful as a
networked, controller-based system supporting ten monitors and five distinct calibration gas
cylinders.
Key features
lAutomatic testing, calibration, charging, and reports management
lDeployable as a standalone cradle or a controller-based system with up to 10 cradles
lController with a large, color LCD display
lUp to 5 calibration gas cylinders can be connected at the same time*
lData storage on a standard SD card
lBench-top or wall-mounted use
lInstruments supported: MultiRAE Lite (Pumped), MultiRAE, and MultiRAE Pro, MicroRAE,
ToxiRAE Pro, ToxiRAE Pro PID, ToxiRAE Pro LEL, and ToxiRAE Pro CO2, QRAE 3 (pumped
and diffusion models), and MiniRAE Lite, MiniRAE 3000, ppbRAE 3000, and UltraRAE 3000
lUnique cradle for all ToxiRAE Pro family (cradle supplied with adapters)
lNetworking capability (optional)
lWireless networking capability using external Wi-Fi module for AutoRAE 2 (optional)
* Supported only on AutoRAE 2 Controller-based systems.
