ToxiRAE Pro CO2

Personal CO2 Monitoring With Wireless Visibility: A First of Its Kind

Carbon dioxide is an invisible, odourless gas that can accumulate rapidly in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces, presenting a serious health risk to workers before they are even aware of its presence. The ToxiRAE Pro CO2 was the first personal wireless CO2 monitor ever developed, bringing a level of remote monitoring capability to CO2 applications that previously only existed for toxic gas monitoring.

Using a non-dispersive infrared sensor, the ToxiRAE Pro CO2 detects CO2 across a wide range from 0 to 50,000 ppm with 100 ppm resolution, covering both low-level exposure monitoring and high-concentration alarm scenarios. Unlike electrochemical sensors that are subject to cross-sensitivity and sensor aging, NDIR technology measures CO2 via infrared absorption, providing accurate and reliable readings that are not affected by common interfering gases.

Safe Area Use

It is important to note that the ToxiRAE Pro CO2 is a safe area instrument and cannot be used in classified hazardous locations. This makes it well suited to environments where CO2 is the primary monitoring concern but the risk of explosive atmospheres is not present, including food and beverage processing facilities, wineries and breweries, chemical manufacturing plants, landfill operations and water treatment facilities.

Real-Time Wireless Visibility and Man Down Protection

The ToxiRAE Pro CO2 transmits real-time CO2 readings wirelessly to Honeywell’s ProRAE Guardian software or EchoView Host, giving safety managers visibility into CO2 exposure conditions across the facility from a central command station. The five-way alarm system combines audible, visual, vibration, on-screen and remote wireless notification. A built-in Man Down alarm detects if the instrument has been stationary or in an unusual position for a set period, triggering a pre-alarm followed by a real-time remote notification if not cancelled, alerting others to a potential worker emergency.

Easy to Maintain and Calibrate

The ToxiRAE Pro CO2 includes a replaceable sensor, filter and rechargeable Li-ion battery, keeping ongoing maintenance straightforward. Fully automatic bump testing and calibration is available using the AutoRAE 2 system, and data can be downloaded to a PC via the charging and communication cradle or wirelessly through ProRAE Guardian for STEL, TWA, peak and compliance reporting.
