AreaRAE Plus & AreaRAE Pro User's Guide

13 User Modes

The AreaRAE Plus/Pro can be configured for two user modes, Basic and Advanced. The choice is
selected and set in ProRAE Studio II.

13.1 Basic User Mode

In Basic User Mode, some restrictions are applied, including password protection that guards against
entering Programming Mode by unauthorized personnel.

13.2 Advanced User Mode

In Advanced User Mode, there are no access restrictions (you do not need a password), and the AreaRAE
Plus/Pro provides the indications and data you need most for typical monitoring applications.

14 Policy Enforcement

The AreaRAE Plus/Pro can be configured to enforce a facility/company's requirements that calibration
and/or bump testing be performed at specified intervals, and to explicitly prompt the user that
calibration/bump testing is required. Depending on how Policy Enforcement features are configured, the
user may be required to perform a bump test or calibration prior to being able to use the instrument. That
is, it can be set to not allow normal operation of the instrument unless calibration or bump testing is
performed.
If the instrument has been bump tested and calibrated in compliance with the policy settings, a
check-mark icon is included along the top of the AreaRAE Plus/Pro screen:
If Policy Enforcement is enabled, then after startup the AreaRAE Plus/Pro displays a screen that informs
the user that the instrument requires either a bump test or a calibration. If both are required, then they are
shown in sequence.
Note: Policy enforcement features are disabled by default.

14.1 Setting Policy Enforcement

You must use ProRAE Studio II to make changes to Policy Enforcement settings. The procedure requires
connecting the AreaRAE Plus/Pro via USB cable to a PC running ProRAE Studio II. Policy violations are
captured in the datalog.

2. Put the AreaRAE Plus/Pro into PC Communications Mode.
3. Start ProRAE Studio II software on the PC.
4. Select "Administrator" and input the password (the default is "rae").
5. Click "Detect the instruments automatically" (the magnifying glass icon with the letter "A" in it).
After a few seconds, the AreaRAE Plus/Pro is found and it is shown, along with its serial number:
6. Click on the icon to highlight it, and then click "Select.".
