Rae RAELink3 Quick Reference

The RAELink3 compact, portable radio-frequency modem provides long-range 

wireless communication between remote portable air monitors and a base 

station/computer for comprehensive monitoring. Up to 64 RAELink3-equipped 

monitors can be networked with a single Host. For applications requiring long-

distance monitoring or monitoring in locations with obstructions to clear line-of-

sight communication, RAELink3s configured as Repeaters extend the effective reach 

of the system.

The RAELink3 can be configured to act in one of the following modes:  

1. Remote. The RAELink3 Remote functions as a slave modem and 

communicates to a host modem with the same network ID.  

2. Remote G. The RAELink3 Remote G functions as a slave modem to 

communicate readings from a GammaRAEII R personal radiation detector to a 

host modem with the same network ID. 

3. Host. The RAELink3 Host functions as a host modem and communicates with 

multiple wireless modems (such as the RAELink3 Remote and RAELink3 

Repeater, as well as AreaRAE products equipped with RAELink-family Remote 

modems) with the same network ID.  

4. Repeater. The RAELink3 Repeater functions as a repeater for RAELink3 

Remote modems (or AreaRAE or RAELink series products) with the same 

network ID. 

Connection With Third-Party Devices 

The RAELink3 can be configured as a slave modem to communicate sensor data 

from select 3rd party monitors back to a host modem with the same network ID. 

Current third-party monitors available to choose from include ChemRAE, 

LifeShirt, DustTrak and AP4C. 

Battery Replacement 

The RAELink3 can use a rechargeable lithium-ion battery or an alkaline battery 

pack. It can also be operated on its charger. To take the rechargeable battery or 

alkaline battery pack out of the RAELink3, remove the 3 hex-socket screws and 

lift it out. To replace the AA batteries in the alkaline battery pack, remove the 

two hex-socket screws on the inside, remove the cover, and replace the 5 AA 

batteries (Duracell MN1500 or Energizer E91 only). Make sure that the polarity 

(“+” and “-”) for each battery is correct. Do not mix old and new batteries. Only 

change batteries in a non-hazardous location.
