The display will count down from 30 to 0.
Once the countdown is complete, your EnviSense is ready for use. No initial setup or calibration is required.

Proper CO2 meter location

Place the CO2 meter at table height in a place where it is not directly breathed in, at least 1.5 metres from an open window or door, or hang it on the wall. The device is suitable for a room up to ± 100 m2. When the sensor is switched on for the first time, it will need some time to calibrate itself properly.

Press to confirm.

Calibrate

This function allows you to manually change RH or TEMP or calibrate CO2.

For RH or TEMP:
Select and use the arrows for RH or TEMP. Press for 3 sec. until you hear the beep.
Change the value with the arrows. Press again for 3 seconds until you hear the beep to confirm.

For CO2:
Select and use the arrows for CO2. Press for 3 sec. until you hear the beep. The EnviSense will now recalibrate.

Tip!
Once the alarm sounds, tap for mute.
Before calibration, place the EnviSense in an open window or outdoor environment with a portable battery source for at least 20 minutes to acclimate to an atmosphere of ±400 ppm CO2. Wait for the CO2 value to stabilize and then follow the above steps to calibrate. After calibration, leave the unit for 10 minutes before resuming normal operation.

Data logger

Select to view the graph on the monitor. When selected, the graph will display the last full hour (see time on the top right). Press to switch between RH/CO2/TEMP.
The EnviSense CO2 monitor also stores all previously measured values internally. You can connect the monitor to your computer. The monitor can be connected to your computer with the supplied USB cable. The folder
“ENVISENSE” will open automatically on your computer. This ENVISENSE folder contains a .csv file that can be uploaded to www.dashboard.envisense.net.

Step 1. Go to www.dashboard.envisense.net.
Here you see a dashboard. When you open the page for the first time, the dashboard is filled with demo data. Note: This is not your own data yet.
Step 2. Upload the desired .csv file into the dashboard.
To upload a .csv file, click “Choose file” in the upper right corner. Go to the folder where you saved the .csv file. Select the file and then click the “Upload” button to place the selected file in the dashboard.
Step 3. Overview of historical data

After uploading the file you will see 3 tables containing your historical data of CO2, temperature and humidity. In the top left corner you can indicate whether you wish to view the data in hours, days, months or years.
In addition, you can select specific dates in the top left-hand corner.

Date and time

Select to change the date and time. The selected value will blink. If this value is correct, you can tap to change the next value. You can adjust the value with and . Tap to confirm. If not, the value will jump back after 30 seconds.

Please note!
If you unplug the EnviSense, it will remember the set date and time for approximately 3 to 7 days. You may therefore need to set this again if the monitor has been switched off. If you do not set this correctly, it will go wrong in the Excel file.
