Control Buttons
• [Y/+] always controls left-hand response & increases
numerical values
• [N/-] controls right-hand response & moves to next digit
• [MODE] controls center & returns to previous menu

Start-up: Turning On
• Press and hold [MODE]
• When display appears,
release [MODE] key
• Instrument performs self-
test
• Final display shows and
unit is ready for zero
calibration

Start-up: Programmable Zero Calibration
• Unit performs Zero calibration after warm-up
• “apply zero gas…”
• If in fresh air, the UltraRAE can be calibrated, or
a Zeroing kit with charcoal tube can be used

Test Pump
• To ensure that there are no leaks,
periodically test the seals.
• With the UltraRAE 3000 running, place
your finger over the end of the inlet probe.
• The alarm should sound and the pump-
stall icon should flash on the display.
• This indicates that all seals are good. Stop
the alarm by pressing [Y/+].

Test Pump
• If the pump does not alarm or show the
stalled-pump icon, then check that all inlet
parts are tight and inspect the O-ring for
damage (replace it if necessary).
• After inspection and/or replacing, test
again.
• If there is still no alarm, send instrument in
for pump service.
