WARNING
-DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT READING-
THIS MANUAL MUST BE CAREFULLY READ BY
ALL INDIVIDUALS WHO HAVE OR WILL HAVE
THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR 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!!
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK,
TURN OFF POWER BEFORE REMOVING THE
SENSOR CAP AND SENSOR MODULE FOR
SERVICE. NEVER OPERATE THE UNIT WHILE
THE CAP IS REMOVED. REMOVE SENSOR CAP
AND SENSOR MODULE ONLY IN AN AREA
KNOWN TO BE NON-HAZARDOUS.
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF IGNITION OF
HAZARDOUS ATMOSPHERES, RECHARGE
BATTERY ONLY IN AREA KNOWN TO BE NON
HAZARDOUS.
iv
CAUTION:
For safety reasons this equipment must be operated
and serviced by qualified personnel only. Read and
understand instruction manual completely before
operating or servicing.
ATTENTION:
Pour des raisons de sécurité, cet équipment doit être
utilisé, entretenu et réparé uniquement par un
personnel qualifié. Étudier le manuel d’instructions
en entier avant d’utiliser, d’entretenir ou de réparer
l’équipement.
WARNING:
Use only RAE Systems battery packs, part nos. 500-
0021 or 500-0022. This instrument has not been tested
in an explosive gas/air atmosphere having an oxygen
concentration greater than 21%. Substitution of
components may impair intrinsic safety. Recharge
batteries only in non-hazardous locations.
AVERTISSEMENT:
Utiliser seulement l'ensemble de batterie RAE
Systems, la reference 500-0021 au 500-0022. Cet
instrument n’a pas été essayé dans une atmosphère de
gaz/air explosive ayant une concentration d’oxygène
plus élevée que 21%. La substitution de composants
peut compromettre la sécurité intrinsique. Ne charger
les batteries que dans emplacements désignés non
dangereux.
v
WARNING:
The calibration of all newly purchased RAE Systems
instruments should be tested by exposing the sensor(s)
to known concentration calibration gas before the
instrument is used or put into service.
For maximum safety, the accuracy of the ToxiRAE
should be checked by exposing the sensor(s) to known
concentration calibration gas before each day’s use.
AVERTISSEMENT:
La calibration de toute instruments de RAE Systems
doivent être testé en exposant l’instrument a une
concentration de gaz connue par une procédure
dietalonnage avant de mettre en service l’instrument
pour la première fois.
Pour une securite maximale, la sensibilité du
ToxiRAE doit être verifier en exposant l’instrument a
une concentration de gaz connue par une procédure
dietalonnage avant chaque utilisation journalière.

Special Note
-1-
When the PGM-30 Pocket PID is taken out from the
transport case and turned on for the first time, there
may be some residual organic vapor trapped inside the
ionization chamber. The initial reading may indicate a
few ppm. Enter an area known to be free of any
organic vapor and turn on the unit. After running for
several minutes, the residual vapor in the sensor
chamber will be cleared and the reading should return
to zero.
-2-
The battery of the ToxiRAE unit will discharge slowly
even if it is turned off. If the unit has not been charged
for 5-7 days, the battery voltage will be low. Therefore,
it is a good practice to always leave the unit in the
charger so that it is fully charged and ready for
immediate use. It is also recommended to fully charge
the unit FOR AT LEAST 4 HOURS before first use
(see Section 3.0 for more information).
GENERAL INFORMATION
1 - 1
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
ToxiRAE is a programmable pocket Photo-Ionization
Detector (PID) designed to provide continuous exposure
monitoring of toxic gases for workers in hazardous
environments. It monitors two classes of toxic gases: (1)
organic vapors with the supplied 10.6 eV gas discharge
lamp, and (2) chlorinated compounds with the
interchangeable 11.7 eV lamp available as an optional
accessory. Features are:
Lightweight and Compact
-6.4 oz, pocket size
Dependable and Accurate
-12 hours monitoring with micro controller
User Friendly
-menu driven, intuitive end-use operation
Programmable Alarm Thresholds
-audio buzzer & flashing display alarm
ToxiRAE (PGM-30K) consists of: A Pocket PID unit, a
single station charging unit, plus calibration accessories.
