RAE Systems MiniRAE Lite PID Monitor 059-A
Description
The RAE Systems MiniRAE Lite (059-A) is a simplified handheld photoionization detector aimed at environmental consultants, site surveyors, and remediation crews who need a reliable PID for field work without the full feature set of the MiniRAE 3000+. It uses the same 10.6 eV lamp and three-second response, in the same rugged housing, but trades range (0.1 to 5,000 ppm instead of 15,000), data logging, and intrinsic-safety certification for a lower acquisition cost. For jobs that only need surface VOC readings — site assessments, Phase II work, perimeter screening — the Lite is the right tool.
Specifications
- 10.6 eV PID; range 0.1 to 5,000 ppm (isobutylene-referenced); three-second response
- Built-in temperature and humidity compensation
- No intrinsic-safety certification — do not use in Class I Division 1 locations; see the MiniRAE 3000+ for IS-rated work
- No on-board data logging
- IP-67 when powered off (easy decon); IP-65 while running
- Alkaline battery pack: 10 hours; Li-ion rechargeable: 16 hours
- Large graphical LCD with on-board graphing
- Built-in two-LED flashlight
- 11 display languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Chinese, Russian, Korean, Arabic
- Size 10.0 in L x 3.0 in W x 2.5 in H; weight 26 oz (738 g)
- Lifetime warranty on instrument electronics, switches, and display; 3-year on 10.6 eV lamp; 1-year on sampling pump and rechargeable battery
Applications
- Environmental site assessments and Phase II subsurface investigations
- Soil-gas and headspace screening
- Site remediation progress monitoring
- Perimeter and fenceline VOC screening
- Industrial hygiene survey work in non-classified areas
Compatibility and Service
PK Safety is a RAE Systems Factory Authorized Service Center. Our in-house RAE technicians calibrate, bump test, and repair the MiniRAE Lite at our Alameda, California service lab. We also service BW Technologies by Honeywell, RKI Instruments, and WatchGas monitors — a mixed fleet can be sent in one shipment. Call 800.829.9580 for sensor-configuration questions, service scheduling, or sizing help.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why pick the MiniRAE Lite instead of the MiniRAE 3000+?
Choose the Lite when the job is environmental site survey or remediation screening in non-classified areas, where you need real-time VOC readings on the surface but do not need intrinsic-safety certification, data logging, or the 15,000 ppm upper range. Choose the MiniRAE 3000+ for any permit-required confined-space entry, HazMat response, or Class I Division 1 work — the Lite is not IS-rated and will not satisfy those requirements.
What VOCs will the MiniRAE Lite detect?
The 10.6 eV lamp ionizes most volatile organics with ionization potentials at or below 10.6 eV, including benzene, toluene, xylene, hexane, perchloroethylene, methyl ethyl ketone, and the full RAE-published correction-factor catalog. Readings are reported in isobutylene-equivalent ppm by default; apply the published correction factor manually to convert to target-compound ppm (the Lite does not store CFs on-board).
Is the MiniRAE Lite intrinsically safe?
No. The MiniRAE Lite is explicitly not intrinsic-safety certified and must not be used in Class I Division 1 or Zone 0 hazardous locations. If the job requires IS classification, step up to the MiniRAE 3000+ or the ppbRAE 3000, both of which carry IS approvals.
How often should the MiniRAE Lite be bump tested and calibrated?
Follow OSHA Safety and Health Information Bulletin SHIB 09-30-13, which calls for a functional bump test with a known concentration of target gas before each day's use on any portable gas monitor and a full calibration whenever a bump test fails, after a lamp cleaning or replacement, or on RAE's recommended 180-day interval. The 059-A110-100 Monitor with Calibration Kit ships with 100 ppm isobutylene, a regulator, and flow controller.
How does the MiniRAE Lite differ from Monitor Only vs Accessory vs Calibration configurations?
The Monitor Only (059-A110-000) ships the instrument, 10.6 eV lamp, Flex-I-Probe, external filter, green rubber boot, alkaline battery adapter, Li-ion battery and AC/DC adapter, travel download charger, lamp-cleaning tool kit, and soft leather carrying case. The 059-A110-300 adds a hard transport case with pre-cut foam, five porous metal filters and O-rings, an organic vapor zeroing kit, and a gas outlet port adapter with tubing. The 059-A110-100 adds the calibration cylinder (100 ppm isobutylene, 34L), regulator, and flow controller on top of that.
Who services the MiniRAE Lite when the lamp dims or the pump fails?
PK Safety is a RAE Systems Factory Authorized Service Center. Our in-house technicians clean and replace 10.6 eV lamps, service the sampling pump, update firmware, and run full calibration from our Alameda, California shop. Call 800.829.9580 to open a service ticket.
