1. General Information

The QRAE Plus is a programmable multi-gas monitor designed
to provide continuous exposure monitoring of toxic gases,
oxygen and combustible gases for workers in hazardous
environments.

There are two models available: the

PGM-2000

, a pump unit,

and the

PGM-2020

, a diffusion unit. The figures and displays in

this manual are primarily for the PGM-2000 model.

The QRAE Plus monitors inorganic toxic gases and oxygen
concentrations with electrochemical sensors. It monitors
combustible gases with a combination catalytic bead and
thermal conductivity sensor.

The

QRAE Plus

includes:

•

Calibration Adapter

•

Quick Reference Guide

•

Operation and Maintenance Manual

•

Training Video

•

Rubber Boot with Belt Clip

•

10 Water Trap Filters (PGM-2000 only)

•

3” Inlet Probe (PGM-2000 only)

•

Water Trap and C-Filter Adapters (PGM-2000 only)

•

Alkaline Battery Pack

•

Lithium-Ion Battery Pack

•

120 V AC/DC Wall Adapter
