1.   General Information 

The Q-RAE 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: 

PGM-2000

, a pumped unit, and 

PGM-2020

, a diffusion unit.  

 

Table 1. QRAE Plus Specifications
