General Information
1
The MultiRAE Plus is a programmable multiple-gas monitor designed to
provide continuous exposure monitoring of toxic organic and inorganic
gases, oxygen and combustible gases for workers in hazardous
environments.
The MultiRAE Plus is an extremely flexible one-to-five sensor instrument
for use in confined space, emergency response, industrial hygiene,
and many other monitoring applications. The MultiRAE Plus is the
only instrument available on the market today that can offer protection
using both standard gas detection sensors for the detection of oxygen,
combutible gas, and specific toxic gases, as well as an integrated Photo-
Ionization Detector (PID) for the ultimate broad-range toxic gas detection.
The MultiRAE Plus is easily reconfigured and upgraded to meet your
changing needs. Its versatility replaces a wide range of monitors, saving
training, and maintenance costs. The MultiRAE Plus transitions quickly
and easily from a sophisticated technician instrument to a simple text
or display only monitor. The same monitor can be used as a personal
monitor, a hand-held sniffer, or as a continuous operational area monitor.
Dataloging-Enabled Monitors
Datalog monitors are capable of storing datalog data in the instrument’s
non-volatile memory. When the version number appears during the
power-on sequence, the “D” indicates a Datalog monitor. Call the
factory to learn how to upgrade the instrument to a Datalog monitor.

Calibrating the Monitor
While all instruments are calibrated prior to leaving the factory,
temperature extremes and/or shocks during shipment can cause
sensor drift. Therefore, the accuracy of any newly purchased RAE
Systems monitor should be tested by exposing the sensor(s) to known
concentration calibration gas before the monitor is used or put into
service. For maximum safety, the accuracy of the monitor should be
checked by exposing the sensor(s) to known concentration calibration
gas before each day’s use.
When should you calibrate the monitor?
The monitor should be calibrated no less than every 30 days, or if it does
not pass a fresh air reading, or if it does not pass a field verification.
Calibration
The sensors are calibrated in a two-step process using fresh air and
span gas (a span gas contains a known concentration of a given gas).
Some sensors may show sensitivity to other gases - this is called
“cross sensitivity”. Therefore, it is important to choose the gas mixture
carefully. We recommend the standard RAE Systems MultiRAE Plus
4-gas calibration mix (50% LEL methane, 20.9% oxygen, 25 ppm H
2
S,
50 ppm CO in a single gas cylinder) to calibrate the LEL, H
2
S and CO
sensors, and isobutylene (100 ppm) for the PID. You will also need
a calibration adapter in order to connect the monitor (with external
filter!) to the outlet of the gas cylinder. For the calibration of other toxic
sensors, you will need the specific gas for that sensor.

Operating the MultiRAE Plus
Span Gas Calibration
To complete step two of calibration, a Span Gas Calibration must be
performed for each sensor.
The instructions below are for a standard confined space entry
instrument utilizing CO, H
2
S, LEL, Oxygen sensors.
For this calibration you will need the standard RAE Systems MultiRAE
Plus 4-gas calibration mix
(50% LEL methane, 20.9% oxygen, 25 ppm
H
2
S, 50 ppm CO in a single gas cylinder). For the calibration of other
toxic sensors, or to calibrate a single sensor, please go to the Program
Mode section of this manual.
Fresh Air Calibration
The first step of calibration is a Fresh Air
Calibration:
Calibrate Monitor?
Press [Y/+] .
Fresh Air Calibration?
Press [Y/+] .
The monitor will cycle through each sensor.
When the process is complete, the display will
read, “Zero Cal Complete!”.
Zero Organic Filters for Zeroing PID
Use an optional external zero organic filter (P/
N 008-3024-000, 3-pack) when the ambient air
may be contaminated with hydrocarbons.
Attach the filter to the MultiRAE Plus during
fresh air calibration. The filter can be used
up to 20 times before disposing. This filter
removes most heavier organic and inorganic
compounds, but may not completely remove
lighter compounds such as methane, propane,
and CO.

NOTE:
If calibration is accidentally started and gas has run out or has
been disconnected, press
M
repeatedly. Calibration will stop and revert
back to the previous calibration values.
Calibrating the PID Sensor
The single sensor method used to calibrate the PID can also be used to
calibrate single toxic sensors. For the PID, use isobutylene (100ppm)
span gas. For other toxic sensors, use the appropriate gas, e.g.,
ammonia sensor - use ammonia gas, etc.

MultiRAE Plus Usage Overview
Storage
Always keep the MultiRAE Plus on charge in a dry indoor area when
not in use.
If the MultiRAE Plus is to be stored more than 2 weeks off the charger,
it is recommended to remove the Li-ion battery. Upon reinstalling the
battery, it will need a complete charge and some sensors (like NO
and NH
3
) may require time to warm up, anywhere from 20 minutes to
24 hours.
Refer to Technical Note-114 Sensor Specifications and Cross
Sensitivities.
The clock will also need to be reset.
Confined Space Pre-Entry Test
Test the atmosphere in the confined space by sampling air at 3 levels
(Top, Middle and Bottom) in the Confined Space. Give the instrument
time to sample the gas at each level - the correct sampling time is 60
seconds plus 1 second per every foot of hose.
Alarms
If there are any gas
ALARMS
at any level in the confined space it is
not safe.
DO NOT ENTER!
Identify the alarm condition and then start your preventive actions
according to your company’s Confined Space Entry procedures.
No Alarms
If there are no alarms, the
Confined Space may be safe for entry.
Disconnect the hose before carrying the MultiRAE Plus into the
Confined Space. If monitoring is to be done by a Confined Space
attendant, they should continue to monitor while you enter the area.
If the unit alarms and “BAT” is displayed, the battery needs to be
charged. There is 15 minutes or less of run time remaining.
Leave the
Confined Space immediately!
See the Applications and Technical
Notes Guide for more information regarding Confined Space Entry
and other applications.
After Usage
Turn the MultiRAE Plus off by pressing and holding
