Installation and Update Notes
Installation
The QRAE 3 communicates with a PC running ProRAE Studio II Instrument Configuration and Data
Management software (version 1.11.2 or higher recommended) to download datalogs, configure the
instrument, or upload new firmware. The QRAE 3 must be connected to a PC through the supplied Travel
Charger and must be in the PC Communications mode.
1. Use the supplied PC Communications Cable (USB to mini-USB cable) to connect the Travel
Charger to a PC.
2. Insert the QRAE 3 in the Travel Charger.
3. Turn on the QRAE 3. Make sure it is running (with the main measurement screen showing).
4. Activate the PC Communications mode on the QRAE 3 by pressing [MODE] repeatedly, starting
from the main measurement screen, until you reach the “Enter Communications Mode?” screen.
5. Press [Y/+]. Measurement and datalogging stop, and the instrument is now ready to
communicate with the PC. The display now says, “Ready To Communicate With PC Or
AutoRAE2.”
6. Start up the ProRAE Studio II software, enter a password, and detect the instrument following the
directions provided in the ProRAE Studio II User’s Guide.
7. Follow the instructions in the ProRAE Studio II User’s Guide to update the QRAE 3’s firmware.
8. When you are done, press [MODE] to exit the PC Communications mode on the QRAE 3. After
the QRAE 3's firmware is upgraded, the instrument turns off automatically.
