Why Mini-RAE is Integral For Industrial Areas

Industrial areas are bound to have organic or inorganic chemical compounds in the form gases. Such gases can be hazardous for workers working in a confined environment. Mostly, workers in chemical oriented factories, manufacturing industries and mines fall prey of health issues which are at time is life threatening. Usually, the intensity of ill-effect goes high if the volatile organic compounds come across in concentrated form and in confined areas like indoor environment or under the ground in a mine shaft. To combat such situations monitoring toxic effects of the surrounding area is essential and should be strict. This is necessary not just because of the employees’ health concern, but also because of the tough labor regulatory norms and laws.

To detect the signs of hazardous gases Mini-RAE gas detection system has come up as an instant solution which allows user to detect and find the level of harmful gases in particular area. This is an advanced system that successfully detects and analyzes level of all sorts of toxic fumes in a particular zone. As it provides real time data transmission it enables users record the data even when the device is placed 500 feet away from the sensor. 

These are easy to operate and has portable feature which allows users to use it by just holding in hand or by placing them anywhere in the specific area to identify the emission of gases. Currently, there are two models in Mini-RAE – Mini-RAE 2000 and 3000, each featuring advance operation than another. Mini-RAE is presently the most feasible, reliable and advance device for toxic gas detection. 

Noise levels Technical Measurement

One of the most common instruments at any workplace to measure the noise is Dosimeter. Before you consider buying the instrument, study the environment carefully to know if there is noise in the area under consideration and also the probable reasons for it. You can do a survey to determine if noise is actual issue at the workplace. The following points indicate towards the problem:

1. If an employee wants to talk to another employee but unable to do so at a normal voice rate.
2. If people at the workplace avoid outside gatherings where many voices are present.

It is recommended to measure and control the noise by using appropriate techniques as increased noise can lead to several problems like hearing loss and community annoyance. Hearing loss happens over a period of time and can become permanently incurable. The other issue of annoyance relates to change in physiological behavior pattern.

Noise Dosimeters effectively measures the noise at the places where the level of noise varies throughout the time period. It is a handy device with a microphone attached to it. The threshold, criterion level and exchange rate settings are necessary for operating this device. The dosimeter calculates averages of the information collected in a particular time period. It is important to cover the microphone attached to the device with the help of windshield at places where the air movements are considerable. The manufacturer of the device provides the windshields as well. One should get himself acquainted with the terms commonly used in noise measurement like impact noise to state the results of activity in desirable terms.

Minirae-E-Guide

Minirae is one of the advanced VOC monitor available in the market. It has a photo ionization detector with a range which starts from 0 and extend to 15,000 ppm. The Minirae works on proven technology and has following features:

1. It has patented sensors. The sensors have 3 second response time.

2. The screen on the device is user friendly and self explanatory.

3. The device supports multi languages

4. The data transmission happens on real time basis as Minirae has built- in Bluetooth.

5.  The cover of the device is made of waterproof material, it is easy to clean and can be used in harsh environments as well.

6.  Inbuilt functionality and features like flashlight and RAE systems further supports it  as the flashlight makes its usable in dark conditions and the RAE system helps to take the measurement of more chemicals.

7.  The device comes with easy installable battery pack. Battery can be replaced without the need of any additional tool to unplug and fix it.

8.  Alarm has two benefits: up to 95dBloudness and flashing visual alarm.

9.   Inbuilt GPS capability makes it technologically advance. The device can track the remote detectors readings and display them as well on screen.

The complete Minirae kit includes:

Minirae monitor, Rubber boot (as the cover), charging adapter, the device cleaning kit, the complete cleaning kit.For operating Minirae, you will get the software, maintenance manual.  As an additional support, there will be an annual repair and maintenance contract along with the replacement guarantee for limited duration.

What Is The AutoRAE Calibration Station?

When it comes to measuring and warning about the levels of toxic gases in the workplace, the RAE system is one of the leaders in the industry. If you employ the use of RAE devices in your workplace, you may have heard about calibration stations, but do you have any idea what they are and why they’re used?

Essentially, the AutoRAE and AutoRAE Lite calibration stations have been designed to conduct the bump testing, auto-calibration and charging of RAE devices. The stations are suitable for use with QRAE, QRAE Plus, MiniRAE Plus, EntryRAE and MiniRAE 2000 devices.

To use the calibration stations, simply press the button once to perform a bump test and twice to perform a calibration. In a few minutes, the screen will be able to tell you the status of the gas monitor sensors in your workplace. If a monitor fails the bump test, the station will automatically perform a calibration of the system. These stations can complete a full calibration in around 2 minutes.

As a bonus, the AutoRAE and AutoRAE Lite stations are able to store the data supplied by each device, including a data management system that can load calibration data onto an SD memory card. This data can then be transferred to a computer for longer storage.

If your workplace utilizes RAE devices for monitoring the levels of toxic gases and fumes your employees may be exposed to, why not consider investing in an AutoRAE or AutoRAE Lite calibration station? Not only will it make performing routine tests easier, it can charge your devices as you go.
