Diagnostic Mode
In Diagnostic Mode, the AreaRAE Plus/Pro provides raw counts for sensor, battery, and other
readings, as well as a list of installed sensors and information about them (expiration date, serial
number, etc.). Most of these screens are useful only to service technicians. Many allow access for
changing settings.
Diagnostic Mode can only be accessed at startup time. In Diagnostic Mode, readings are
displayed in raw counts instead of parts per million (ppm) or other units of measure.
