The entry routine

One monitor, check to log

Confined space entry is a core QRAE 3 application. Here is how its features line up with an entry, from the pre-shift check to the record at the end of the day.

Worker in a fall-protection harness with a QRAE 3 monitor clipped to the chest strap

Clipped to the harness, display facing out

Simple by design

A large graphical, icon-driven display and an intuitive, simple-to-operate two-button interface, with easy access to the pump, sensors, filter and battery compartment.

1
Before the shift
Bump test and calibrate

Two-point calibration for zero and span can be done manually, or hands-off with the AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test and Calibration System, an optional accessory.
2
At the opening
Sample the space first

The pumped version draws its sample in through tubing, and has a built-in pump. It also carries a pump stall alarm.
3
In the space
Wear it, watch it, hear it

A stainless-steel alligator clip is the standard attachment. The large graphic display can rotate 180º, automatically or on demand, and an alarm comes through as sound, vibration, flashing red LEDs and an on-screen indication.

Topside · wireless option
Watch from outside

On units with the wireless option, live readings and alarm status reach a remote monitor, including the Man Down Alarm with pre-alarm. Additional equipment and/or software licenses may be required to enable remote wireless monitoring and alarm transmission.

Datalogging runs continuously. Download the data and set up or upgrade the instrument on a PC via the Travel Charger, and manage devices with Honeywell SafetySuite.

Two versions

Pumped or diffusion: pick by the job

Diffusion and pumped versions are available for all configurations, and so are wireless and non-wireless options. What changes is how the sample reaches the sensors, plus size, weight, sealing and runtime.

Version 01

Diffusion

Air reaches the sensors on its own. The lighter of the two, with the higher ingress rating and the longer runtime.

Sampling: Diffusion
IP rating: IP-67
Weight: 12.9 oz365 g with Li-ion battery and clip
Size: 140 mm x 82mm x 42mm

Running time, continuous

Non-wireless

With wireless

10 hours

Version 02

Pumped

A built-in pump pulls the sample in, through tubing when you need to reach into a space before entering it.

Sampling: Built-in pumpCan sample through tubing up to 98ft (30m)
IP rating: IP-65
Weight: 14.5 oz410 g with Li-ion battery, clip, and external filter
Size: 145 mm x 82 mm x 42mm

Running time, continuous

Non-wireless

11 hours

With wireless

8 hours

Pumped only: pump stall alarm, and pump status on the display.

Non-wirelessWith wirelessAll battery specifications at 68° F (20° C); lower temperatures and alarm conditions will affect runtime.

Alarms & display

Hard to miss, easy to read

Honeywell calls it unmistakable five-way local and remote wireless notification of alarm conditions. In plain terms: the monitor tells the wearer in several ways at once, and on wireless units it can tell someone else too.

You hear it

Multi-tone 95dB buzzer, at 11.8" / 30 cm, typical.

You feel it

A vibration alarm, felt as well as heard.

You see it

Flashing red LEDs.

You read it

On-screen indication of alarm conditions, with a diagnostic alarm and display message for low battery.

Man Down, with a pre-alarm

Man Down Alarm with pre-alarm and real-time remote wireless notification, so on wireless units the people topside know as well. Additional equipment and/or software licenses may be required to enable remote wireless monitoring and alarm transmission.

Wireless option available

Readings that reach the people outside

Wireless is an option, not a given: wireless and non-wireless options are available for all configurations. Where it is fitted, a built-in RF modem sends data and status over a dedicated RAE Systems mesh network, so readings and alarm status can be watched 24/7 from a distance.

What travels

Real-time instrument readings and alarm status, 24/7. Honeywell's point: better incident visibility, and it can improve response time.

Man Down

The trade-off

Wireless costs runtime: 14 hours continuous non-wireless vs 10 hours with wireless on the diffusion version; 11 hours vs 8 hours pumped.

Approvals

FAQ

Questions we get on the phone

Should I choose the pumped or the diffusion QRAE 3?

Choose by how you sample. The pumped version has a built-in pump and can sample through tubing up to 98ft (30m); it adds a pump stall alarm. The diffusion version is lighter (12.9 oz vs 14.5 oz), carries IP-67 rather than IP-65, and runs longer: 14 hours continuous non-wireless vs 11 hours pumped.

Is every QRAE 3 wireless?

No. A wireless option is available: wireless and non-wireless options are available for all configurations, and wireless data and status transmission uses an optional built-in RF modem. Additional equipment and/or software licenses may be required to enable remote wireless monitoring and alarm transmission. Tell us how you plan to monitor and we will spec it accordingly.

Which gases can it monitor?

Up to four at a time, from oxygen (O2), combustibles, hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon monoxide (CO), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and hydrogen cyanide (HCN). The sensors are field-replaceable. Default ranges and resolutions are in the Sensors section and the Specifications tab.

How long does the battery last?

On the rechargeable Li-ion battery: 14 hours continuous non-wireless (diffusion), 11 hours non-wireless (pumped), 10 hours with wireless (diffusion) and 8 hours with wireless (pumped). All battery specifications are at 68° F (20° C); lower temperatures and alarm conditions will affect runtime.

Is it approved for hazardous locations?

Honeywell lists it as classified for use in Class I, Division 1, Groups A, B, C and D; for Europe, IECEx/ATEX (II 1G Ex ia IIC T4). Temperature is -4° to 122° F (-20° to 50° C) for T4 temperature code.

How is it bump tested and calibrated?

Calibration is two-point, for zero and span, done manually or automatically with the AutoRAE 2 Automatic Test and Calibration System, which supports fully automated bump testing and calibration. AutoRAE 2 is an optional accessory; ask us about it when you request a quote.

What does the warranty cover, and who services it?

Honeywell lists a 2-year warranty on the device, 3-year on LEL, O2, CO and H2S sensors, and 1-year on SO2 and HCN sensors, against factory defects. FarrWest is a Honeywell Authorized Service Provider for BW and RAE Systems gas detection. Instruments covered by a Honeywell Service Made Simple Enhanced agreement are repaired, calibrated and returned by our Repair Depot; see Honeywell warranty service. Not every service level is available for every product, so call 210.566.1857 to confirm coverage for your model.
