Page 16: Menus
MultiRAE User’s Guide 3.3 Menus The reading menus are easy to step through by pressing the [N/-] key. Hygiene Mode: Sampling is continuous, and Hygiene Mode allows you to clear peak and minimum values at any time. Search Mode: Samples only when you tell it to sample. This allows you to save sample readings as individual events in the datalog. - Page 17 MultiRAE User’s Guide Search Mode Note: If the instrument is not equipped with a VOC sensor (PID), or is not equipped with an LEL sensor, then screens for those sensors (VOC Gas Status and LEL Gas Status, respectively) are not shown.
- Page 18 MultiRAE User’s Guide Note: If the Peak or Min is cleared, the Average is also cleared. In addition, each cycle through the main screen after they are cleared will route from “Ready… Start sampling?” directly to Date and Time if you press [N/-] (see red line in diagram below), until you perform a new sample.

Page 25: Turning The Multirae On And Off
Fast Startup option under Programming/Monitor. Then the MultiRAE’s main reading screen appears. It may take a few minutes for sensors to show a reading, so if any have not warmed up by the time the main screen is shown, you will see “- - -” instead of a numerical value until the sensor provides data (typically less than 2 minutes). -
Page 26: Testing Alarm Indicators
If all of 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. 6.4 Pump Status IMPORTANT! During operation, make sure the probe inlet and the gas outlet are free of obstructions. -
Page 27: Bump Status

Page 42: Alarm Mode
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, a wirelessly enabled MultiRAE not only goes into alarm locally on the instrument to notify people in the vicinity, but also remotely, over the RAE Systems Dedicated Wireless Network, to transmit the alarm to remote safety officers at a command center, that a person is down, so that help can be dispatched quickly. -
Page 43: Datalog
When the Man Down pre-alarm is activated, the buzzer sounds and LEDs flash twice per second, and a countdown begins. If the MultiRAE’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. -
Page 44: Datalog Interval
MultiRAE User’s Guide 8.3.5.2 Datalog Interval Intervals are shown in seconds. The default value is 60 seconds. The maximum interval is 3600 seconds, and the minimum is 1 second. 8.3.5.3 Sensor Selection You can choose which sensors’ data are included in the datalog.
