Top three advantages of the Minirae system

As anyone who has worked in an industrial or confined environment will be well aware, organic chemical compounds, such as gases, and inorganic chemical compounds, such as chemical paints and vapours contain significant vapour pressures that can be hazardous to the environment and the health of human workers. These potentially dangerous compounds are known as Volatile Organic Compounds and they are all around us. However, they can become particularly hazardous when concentrated in a confined space, in an indoor environment, or underground in a mine shaft for example. For this reason, it is essential that volatile organic compounds are stringently monitored to avoid their toxic effects on those in surrounding areas. While some of the health impacts of contamination by these compounds are immediate, some are less obvious, causing chronic symptoms to develop over time, meaning that the detection of volatile organic compounds is a strategic and demanding area of technical analysis.

Enter the Minirae.

The Minirae system is one of the most advanced devices that can be used in volatile organic compound detection. One of the most progressive and advantageous of Minirae systems is the hand-held Minirae 3000 model, which can be used to detect and analyse levels of all manner of toxic fumes and gases, for example, those from paints, coatings and formaldehydes.

Let’s take a look at a few of the key advantages of the Minirae 300 volatile organic compound detector:

1. Real-time wireless data transmission: The Minirae 3000 is fitted with a finely-tuned built-in RF modem or Bluetooth which both offer the incredible advantage of being able to view real-time data transmitted by the sensor, as well as the alarm status at the site headquarters or command centre. Not only does the device offer real-time wireless data transmission, it provides real-time data transmissions, even when the base controller is located as far as 500 feet away from the sensor. The real-time wireless data transmission can operate at distances up to two miles if a RAElink3 portable modem is used.


2. Advanced PID technology: The photoionization detector, or PID, of the Minirae 3000 system provides a variety of unique features that sets it apart from other Minirae models and other volatile organic compound detectors. The Minirae 3000 PID has an unparalleled three-second response time, and an extended range of measurement – up to 15,000 ppm. The Minirae's PID technology also includes humidity and temperature sensors which activate humidity compensation when required.
   
   
3. Durable housing: One of the less technical, but nonetheless important features of the Minirae 300 is its preparedness to withstand the harsh environments in which it is often required for use. The sensor features a waterproof design that can easily be cleaned and decontaminated using water without causing any damage to the instrument. The device also features external protective features such as a strong rubber boot that can be removed for cleaning or in circumstances where added protection is unnecessary.
