(Pumped & Diffusion Models)
QuickStart Guide
WARNINGS
Read Before Operating
The MultiRAE User’s Guide 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.
CAUTION!
Never operate the monitor when the rear cover is re-
moved. Remove rear cover, sensors, and/or battery only
in an area known to be non-hazardous. Never use the
instrument with the calibration adapter installed, as this
can cause distorted readings, a potential safety threat.
Note: If the MultiRAE is equipped with a gamma
sensor, it comes pre-calibrated from the factory and no
calibration is required. You can challenge it anytime
with a radioactive check source.
User Interface (Pumped)
The pumped version of the MultiRAE’s user interface
consists of the display and three keys, [Y/+], [MODE]
and [N/-]. The flippable LCD displays information such
as monitored threats, real-time readings, measurement
units, alarm type (when in alarm, including cal.
overdue), battery and pump status, datalog (if on), and
radio and connection quality (if available).
Charging The MultiRAE
Always fully charge the battery before use. Contacts on
the bottom of the MultiRAE meet the Travel Charger’s
or Charging Cradle’s contact pins, transferring power.
Make sure the charger and MultiRAE are firmly
attached. Then connect the AC Adapter’s plug to the
charger, and plug its transformer into an AC outlet.
While charging, the LED on the cradle glows red.
When the battery is fully charged, the LED glows
green.
Turning The MultiRAE On
With the instrument turned off, press and hold the
[MODE] key until the audible alarm stops, and then
release. During startup, the battery, buzzer, vibration
alarm, and LEDs are tested, and then the MultiRAE
performs self-testing of its other functions. When the
main measurement screen appears, the MultiRAE is
ready for calibration or use.
Note: If the battery is completely empty, then the
display briefly shows the message “Battery Fully
Discharged,” and the MultiRAE shuts off. You should
charge the battery or replace it with a fully charged
battery before turning it on again.
Note: If Fast Startup is enabled on the instrument,
fewer screens are shown during startup, compared
to Normal Startup sequence.
MultiRAE Lite User Interface (Diffusion)
The MultiRAE Lite’s user interface consists of the
display and three keys, [Y/+], [MODE] and [N/-].
The flippable LCD displays information such as
monitored threats, real-time readings and
measurement units, alarm type (when in alarm,
including cal. overdue), battery status, datalog (if on),
and radio and connection quality (if available).
