Honeywell ModRAE Modular PID — Portable VOC Detector with Swappable Smart Cartridges

The Honeywell ModRAE is a portable photoionization detector built around swappable smart sensor cartridges instead of a single fixed sensor. Choose the PID cartridge that fits the job: a 10.6 eV lamp for ppb-level VOC screening, a higher-range 10.6 eV cartridge for spill and source work, a 9.8 eV cartridge for benzene-specific readings with RAE-Sep tubes, or an 11.7 eV lamp for compounds a standard lamp cannot ionize. Cartridges change in the field without tools, and ones kept off the instrument stay biased, so a swapped cartridge is ready to measure in about 5 seconds.

Bluetooth and NFC are standard. A field-installed LTE cellular or LoRa module with GPS streams readings and location to a remote team, and the instrument works with Honeywell Safety Suite 2.0 for fleet management, calibration records and data. It is rated IP66/IP68, intrinsically safe for Class I, Division 1 locations, and carries man-down, SOS, flashlight and 95 dB audible, visual and vibration alarms.

What's included with the complete monitor

Each complete monitor ships with its battery pack and rubber boot, hand strap, wrist strap and belt clip, flexible probe adaptor, water trap adaptor and three water traps, three porous metal filters, organic zeroing kit, PID cleaning kit, calibration T-tube, USB Type-C cable with magnetic connector, AC adaptor, three NFC tag keyrings, three screen protectors and a screwdriver. The Cartridge Only options are sold without the base unit.

  • Swap-and-go smart cartridges — quick-release, slide-and-lock cartridges change in the field without tools
  • Ready in about 5 seconds — cartridges kept off the instrument stay biased, so a swapped cartridge measures almost at once
  • Broad PID coverage — 10.6 eV lamps from 1 ppb resolution up to 20,000 ppm, plus 9.8 eV benzene and 11.7 eV cartridges
  • Field-upgradeable connectivity — Bluetooth and NFC standard, with an optional LTE or LoRa module and GPS for remote monitoring
  • Health Mode exposure tracking — TWA and STEL readings on a bright 3.5 in color display with color-coded alarm status
  • Field-tough and intrinsically safe — IP66/IP68, -4 to 140°F, Class I Division 1, with 12+ hours of run time
  • Soil and groundwater remediation — VOC screening around excavation, treatment and monitoring work
  • Site assessment and soil vapor screening — locating and delineating volatile contamination
  • Industrial hygiene — worker exposure monitoring against TWA and STEL limits
  • Benzene monitoring — compound-specific readings at refineries and fuel terminals using RAE-Sep tubes
  • Fumigation and re-entry clearance — confirming fumigant levels have fallen before people return
  • Hazmat, leak detection and confined space entry — fast screening of unknown atmospheres and source surveys
