MODE functions

There are several Modes which we can adjust the setting parameters. These modes are Alti Mode, Alarm Mode, Outside Mode, Ucal Mode, Datalogger Mode, MaxMin Mode and rcFS Mode in sequence.

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

• Power On
  Press Power button(1) to turn on the device after placing 4 AA batteries into the battery holder or AC adapter plug into the DC socket . Once power on, CO2 reading will show after 15 seconds of warm up.

• Warm Up
  It lasts approximately 1min before WARMUP disappears; all the functions will not response during warm up.

• User Mode
  After warm up, the device will stabilize and display the normal CO2 Reading (Upper Display)- remain visible at all times.

• Temp and Ventilation Rates (Lower Display)
  The Up/Down button(4/3) allows you to scroll through the Temperature and Ventilation Modes. When pressing the Up button, the lower display will go through the following sequence: TempºC -> TempºF -> Vent Rate lps -> Vent Rate cfm/p

• Note: lps refers to Liter Per Second Per Person; cfm/p refers to Cubic Feet Per Minute Per Person

Operation of Mode Adjustment

1. ALTI Mode:
   • Press the Mode Button (5), ALTI flash’s
   • Press Mode (5) to alter between m(meters) and ft(feet) .
   • Press Up/Down (4/3) to adjust the altitude (Step=100m/500ft)
   • Press the Enter Button (2), save or leave the ALTI Mode, return to User Mode
2. ALARM Mode
3. Adjust the alarm level

  * Press the Mode button (5), until ALARM flash’s
  * Press Enter Button(2), “CO2” icon flash’s.
  * Press Up/Down(4/3) to adjust the alarm level (≥ 1,000 ppm, interval is ±100ppm; <1,000 ppm, interval is ±50 ppm) 2.1.4. Press the Enter (2), save the setting and return to UserMode.
2.  **Turn ON/OFF the ALARM**

  * Press the Enter (2), save the setting and return to UserMode.

3. OUTSIDE Mode
   ** Note :Ventilation Rate
   Ventilate rate represents how much air is introduced into the indoor space from the outside. Low values indicate low ventilation rates and potentially poor air quality. High levels indicate excessive ventilation and potential excessive energy usage. To obtain an accurate measurement, reading should be taken 2~3 hours after occupancy has stabilized in a space or at a peak in daily CO2 concentrations. In indoor air quality control, CO2 value is an indicator of ventilation rate. 400ppm (Parts Per Million) is the default CO2 concentration outside (according to ASHRAE: American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air conditioning Engineers)

   • Press the Mode button (5) ,until OUTSIDE flash’s
   • Press Enter (2), show OUTSIDE, CO2 and PPM flash Press Up/Down (4/3) to adjust the reading
   • Press the Enter (2), save the setting and return to User Mode. After modification, the VENT Rate will change

4. CALI Mode
   The CO2 monitor has been calibrated in the factory and should recalibrate every 12 months with a specified concentration of CO2.Sensor drift usually occurs in linearity. Please follow below steps.
