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.

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.

Honeywell MultiRAE Series™ 5 User Manual

In order to maximize rechargeable battery life and performance: Fully charge the battery. Then
use up to extend the battery performance because of charge cycle time
Running the instrument while charging is not recommended because it will shorten the battery
life and reduce performance. Operating the instrument while charging is forbidden in non-safe
areas.
If the instrument or battery pack is not used for long periods, we recommend charging every 4
months.
For sensor storage conditions, please refer to Technical Note TN-114.
Sensor Specifications, Cross-Sensitivities, And Calibration Information
For information on sensor specifications, cross-sensitivities, and calibration information, refer

Honeywell MultiRAE Series™ 13 User Manual

The MultiRAE is a family of multi-threat gas monitors that combine continuous monitoring
capabilities for volatile organic compounds (VOCs), toxic and combustible gases, and radiation,
with Man Down Alarm functionality in one highly portable instrument. MultiRAE monitors offer
an industry-leading selection of interchangeable field-replaceable electrochemical, combustible,
infrared, PID (photoionization detector), and gamma radiation sensors to fit a wide variety of
applications. The MultiRAE family’s wireless capability elevates worker protection to the next level
by providing safety officers real-time access to instrument readings and alarm status from any
location for better visibility and faster response.
Notes:
lNDIR combustible sensors are not supported on the diffusion version with CSA
certification.
lThe PID sensor requires a pumped configuration.
lIf a %Vol. NDIR sensor is installed in an instrument, a catalytic bead %LEL sensor must
also be installed in the instrument for CSA certification.
IMPORTANT!
The benzene-specific cartridge can only be used on MultiRAE and MultiRAE Pro models
equipped with a 9.8eV lamp.
