Alarm Signals 

During each measurement period, the gas concentration is 
compared with the programmed alarm limits (gas concentration 
alarm limit settings: Low, High, TWA and STEL). If the 
concentration exceeds any of the preset limits, the loud buzzer 
and red flashing LED are activated immediately to warn the 
user of the alarm condition. 

In addition, the MiniRAE 2000 will alarm if one of the 
following conditions occurs: battery voltage falls below a pre-
set voltage level (4.4 V), failure of UV lamp, pump stall, or 
when the datalog memory is full. When the low battery alarm 
occurs, there will be approximately 20-30 minutes of operating 
time remaining. When the battery voltage falls below 4.2 V, the 
monitor will turn off automatically.
