The IAQRAE is the only Indoor Air
Quality (IAQ) monitor that combines
a Photoionization Detector (PID)
with traditional IAQ parameters
like temperature, humidity, carbon
dioxide (CO2), and a user-selected
toxic gas sensor in one 1-to-5
sensor package. The PID gives
the IAQRAE the ability to measure
0-500 ppm of VOCs (volatile
organic compounds) with 0.01 ppm
(10 ppb) resolution.
RAE Systems' advances in PID
technology give IAQ investigators
an ultra-sensitive VOC detection tool
providing immediate insight and
diagnosis. The IAQRAE provides
consultants, safety & hygiene
professionals, and building managers
with a reliable, affordable, accurate,
and instantaneous means of directly
measuring VOCs so that problems
can be quickly identifed and fxed.
Traditional IAQ monitors that mea-
sure just temperature, humidity,
and CO2 will miss these important
indoor contaminants.
CO2 monitors are very popular for
IAQ surveys. But CO2 is only a
secondary measurement for IAQ.
If one dilutes the air enough to
reduce CO2 levels it often solves the
IAQ problem. However, high levels
of CO2 do not necessarily indicate
high levels of VOCs. The PID in
the IAQRAE compliments its CO2
sensor by providing a direct mea-
surement tool for VOCs that would
never be noticed if only CO2 were
measured.
