16. Operation of an AutoRAE 2 Controller-based System
Deploying AutoRAE 2 Cradles with the AutoRAE 2 Controller significantly enhances
the system’s capabilities compared to those of a standalone cradle. An AutoRAE 2
Controller-based system can charge, test, and calibrate up to 10 instruments at the same
time using up to 5 distinct gas inputs. The system supports USB printers (with HP Printer
Command Language 5 or 5E) for direct printing, and has a standard SD card on which
data are stored.
When one or more AutoRAE 2 Cradles are attached to the AutoRAE 2 Controller, the
AutoRAE 2 controller acts as the “command center” for the system. The Controller
powers the entire system, manages all the configuration settings, and its built-in pump
and valves control the gas flow.
Note:
An AutoRAE 2 Terminal Adapter must be attached to the rightmost cradle in order
for an AutoRAE 2 Controller-based system to work.
IMPORTANT!
Before using the AutoRAE 2 Controller, it must be configured using ProRAE Studio II
software to set the gas types and concentrations, as well as the time and date. See page 88
for details.
