User Interface
Functions are controlled via the [MODE] and [Y/+]
keys. The display shows information such as
monitored threats, real-time readings and measurement units, alarm type (when in alarm, including cal.
overdue), battery status, datalog (if on), and radio and
connection quality (if available).

WARNINGS
Read Before Operating
The User’s Guide must be carefully read by all individuals who have or will have the responsibility of using,
maintaining, or servicing this product. The product will
perform as designed only if it is used, maintained, and
serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Note: When the battery’s charge falls below a preset
voltage, the instrument beeps and flashes once every
minute, and the “empty battery” icon blinks on and off
once per second. You should turn off the instrument
within 10 minutes and recharge the battery or replace it
with a fresh one with a full charge.
Charging The Instrument
Always fully charge the battery before use. Contacts on
the bottom of the instrument meet the Travel Charger’s
or Charging Cradle’s contact pins, transferring power.
Make sure the charger is firmly attached. Then connect
the AC Adapter’s plug to the charger, and plug its
transformer into an AC outlet. While charging, the LED
on the cradle glows red. When the battery is fully
charged, the LED glows green. (Consult the User’s
Guide for more details on using the Charging Cradle.)

Turning The Instrument On/Off
With the instrument turned off, press and hold the
[MODE] key until the audible alarm stops, and then
release. During startup, it tests the battery, buzzer,
vibration alarm, LEDs, and internal functions. Then the
main reading screen is shown.
Turning The Instrument Off
Press and hold [MODE] for the 5-second
countdown to shutoff When the countdown ends and
the screen displays “Unit Off,” release your finger from
the [MODE] key. The instrument is now off.

Hygiene & Search Modes
Rev. A P/N: 059-4027-000
November 2018
The instrument has two main operating modes:
Hygiene Mode: After warm-up, the instrument
samples continuously.
Search Mode: After warm-up the pump shuts off
and “Ready” is displayed. This is ideal for
headspace sampling.
Compound-Specific Measurement
The UltraRAE 3000+ can perform compoundspecific measurement in addition to general VOC
measurement. This requires using a RAE-Sep™
separation tube (butadiene or benzene) and having
the UltraRAE 3000+ in Tube Mode, operating with
a 9.8eV lamp.
The following are the 3 steps to make specific
measurements:
1. Start the instrument and measure in TVOC.
2. If the reading is 0ppm, there is no need to
enter specific measurement mode.
3. If the reading is higher than acceptable values,
TM
take an unopened RAE-Sep
tube and break
off both ends.
4. Insert the tube following the arrow.
5. Trigger the specific measurement mode.
Recommended Procedures
Important! Test the alarms prior to use. If any do not
work, refer to the User’s Guide for instructions. Do not
use the instrument without functioning alarms.
Check the pump: Start the instrument and block
the inlet to make sure the alarm is triggered and
sounds and lights are functional. If the gas inlet is
blocked but the pump does not shut down, or the
pump shuts down too easily with a slight blockage,
the pump threshold value may be set too high or
low. Refer to the User’s Guide for steps to correct
Before using the instrument, attach an external
filter to the sampling probe.This prevents moisture,
debris, and other potentially clogging materials
from entering the probe, preventing premature
pump failure and keeping the sensor and lamp
cleaner.
Always Use An External Filter
this.
Check whether the instrument responds to
moisture: Cup your hand over inlet for 10 to 20
seconds (do not block flow). If the instrument reads
>2 ppm or if the ppbRAE 3000+ reads >500 ppb,
then the sensor needs cleaning.
Configurator Mobile App
The Honeywell Device Configurator Mobile App
provides the experience of managing safety
(gas monitor) instruments on a mobile platform.
It simplifies interaction with both portable and
transportable gas monitors when they are in
close proximity. It also provides the flexibility
and convenience to access information stored
on instruments without having to move them.
