IMPORTANT!
MultiRAE-series instruments use instrument firmware version 1.52/sensor firmware version 1.52.
MultiRAE series device uses instrument FW 1.31/ sensor FW 1.08A
MultiRAE lite with Wi-Fi option uses instrument FW 1.36/ sensor FW 1.36
Note: Fws 1.36 are not compatible with MultiRAE series device not using Wi-Fi module (and vice
and versa).
IMPORTANT! BUMP TEST THE MONITOR BEFORE EACH DAY’S USE
Prior to each day’s use, every gas detection monitor should be bump tested to confirm the
response of all sensors and activation of all alarms by exposing the monitor to a
concentration of target gas that exceeds the low alarm set point. A bump test is also
recommended if the monitor has been subjected to physical impact, liquid immersion, an
Over Limit alarm event, or custody changes, or anytime the monitor’s performance is in
doubt.
To ensure greatest accuracy and safety, only bump test and calibrate in a fresh air
environment.
The monitor should be calibrated every time it does not pass a bump test, but no less
frequently than every six months, depending on use and exposure to gas and contamination,
and its operational mode.
• Calibration intervals and bump test procedures may vary due to national legislation.
• Honeywell recommends using calibration gas cylinders containing the gas that is
appropriate to the sensor you are using, and in the correct concentration.

WARNINGS
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.
CAUTION!
Never operate the monitor when the cover is removed. Remove the monitor rear cover or battery
only in an area known to be non-hazardous.
ANY RAPID UP-SCALE READING FOLLOWED BY A DECLINING OR ERRATIC READING MAY
INDICATE A GAS CONCENTRATION BEYOND UPPER SCALE LIMIT, WHICH MAY BE
HAZARDOUS.
TOUTE LECTURE RAPIDE ET POSITIVE, SUIVIE D’UNE BAISSE SUBITE AU ERRATIQUE DE LA
VALEUR, PEUT INDIQUER UNE CONCENTRATION DE GAZ HORS GAMME DE DÉTECTION QUI
PEUT ÊTRE DANGEREUSE
ONLY THE COMBUSTIBLE GAS DETECTION PORTION OF THIS INSTRUMENT HAS BEEN
ASSESSED FOR PERFORMANCE.
UNIQUMENT, LA PORTION POUR DÉTECTOR LES GAZ COMBUSTIBLES DE CET INSTRUMENT
A ÉTÉ ÉVALUÉE.
CAUTION: BEFORE EACH DAY’S USAGE, SENSITIVITY OF THE LEL SENSOR MUST BE TESTED
ON A KNOWN CONCENTRATION OF METHANE GAS EQUIVALENT TO 20 TO 50% OF FULL-
SCALE CONCENTRATION. ACCURACY MUST BE WITHIN 0 AND +20% OF ACTUAL.
ACCURACY MAY BE CORRECTED BY CALIBRATION PROCEDURE.
ATTENTION: AVANT CHAQUE UTILISATION JOURNALIERE, VERIFIER LA SENSIBILITE DU
CAPTEUR DE LIE AVEC UNE CONCENTRATION CONNUE DE METHANE EQUIVALENTE DE 20
A 50% DE LA PLEINE ECHELLE. LA PRECISION DOIT ETRE COMPRISE ENTRE 0 ET 20% DE
LA VALEUR VRAIE ET PEUT ETRE CORRIGEE PAR UNE PROCEDURE D’ETALONNAGE.
CAUTION: HIGH OFF-SCALE READINGS MAY INDICATE AN EXPLOSIVE CONCENTRATION.
Honeywell MultiRAE Series™ 2 User Manual

ATTENTION: DES LECTURES HAUTES ET HORS D’ECHELLE PEUVENT INDIQUER DES
CONCENTRATIONS DE GAZ INFLAMMABLES
CAUTION: Substitution of components may impair intrinsic safety.
Note: Users are recommended to refer to ISA-RP12.13, Part II-1987 for general information on
installation, operation, and maintenance of combustible gas detection instruments.
The MultiRAE multi-gas detector must be calibrated if it does not pass a bump test, or at least
once every 180 days, depending on use and sensor exposure to poisons and contaminants.
SPECIAL CONDITIONS FOR SAFE USE
1. The PGM-62xx shall only be fitted with Honeywell Battery Pack type M01-3053-000,
M01-3055-000, or Battery Adapter M01-3054-000 fitted with Duracell MN1500
batteries.
2. The PGM62xx shall only be charged outside hazardous areas.
3. No precautions against electrostatic discharge are necessary for portable equipment
that has an enclosure made of plastic, metal, or a combination of the two, except where
a significant static-generating mechanism has been identified. Activities such as placing
the item in a pocket or on a belt, operating a keypad or cleaning with a damp cloth, do
not present a significant electrostatic risk. However, where a static-generating
mechanism is identified, such as repeated brushing against clothing, then suitable
precautions shall be taken, e.g., the use of anti-static footwear.
The model PGM62xx is certified according to the IECEx scheme, ATEX and cCSAus (for US and
Canada). PGM62xx is intrinsically safe and may be used in hazardous locations.
SUBSTITUTION OF COMPONENTS MAY IMPAIR INTRINSIC SAFETY.
