VISION CO2U-V2 USB Powered CO2 Monitor User Manual

VISION CO2U-V2 USB Powered CO2 Monitor

Product Information

The Vision CO2 Monitor is a USB-powered device designed to provide a clear indication of when further ventilation is required. It helps in maintaining a healthy environment by detecting increased levels of CO2, which can reduce productivity, have long-term adverse health effects, and increase the transmission risk of airborne viruses. The monitor uses CO2 as a reliable proxy for poor ventilation in reasonably occupied spaces.

The package includes:

• Vision CO2 Monitor
• USB 2.0 to USB Type C Cable (2m)
• Mains Adapter

The monitor features a multicolored display that indicates the CO2 levels in the following ranges:

• Up to 600ppm
• 601 – 800ppm
• 801 – 1000ppm

It operates on a power supply of 5V DC through a USB Type C connection.

Product Usage Instructions

1. Connect the Vision CO2 Monitor to a power source using the provided USB Type C cable.
2. Ensure that the monitor is placed in a reasonably occupied space where ventilation is required.
3. Observe the multicolored display to monitor the CO2 levels.
4. If the CO2 levels are within the range of up to 600ppm, the ventilation is adequate.
5. If the CO2 levels are between 601 – 800ppm, it indicates that further ventilation is recommended.
6. If the CO2 levels reach 801 – 1000ppm, immediate action should be taken to improve ventilation.
7. Regularly monitor the CO2 levels and adjust ventilation accordingly to maintain a healthy environment.

The Vision CO2 Monitor is designed to provide a clear indication of when further ventilation is required. Poor ventilation and increased levels of CO2 can reduce productivity, has long term adverse health effects, and can significantly increase the transmission risk of airborne viruses.
There is 400ppm CO2 in air and we breathe out approximately 40,000ppm with each breath, so CO2 is the most reliable proxy for poor ventilation available in reasonably occupied spaces.

IMPORTANT  – Please read carefully

• The Vision CO2 Monitor is for indoor use only under normal temperature and pressure conditions.
• It is recommended that the unit be powered from a Laptop/PC or with the USB Mains Adapter Plug. The use of poor quality or unstable supplies may result in damage to the monitor.
• This is not a safety device and should only be used for air quality monitoring. This is not suitable where large concentrations of CO2 may be present, such as areas with piped or bottled CO2. If there is any question over the suitability of CO2 monitoring for your application, please contact a specialist.
• To self-calibrate accurately, the monitor should be continuously powered and exposed to outside levels of CO2 at least once every 8 days. This can be achieved by ensuring that a room is purged by opening windows and/or doors until the CO2 levels reaches the lowest stable reading.
• If the units are powered down and moved regularly, they must be powered for an 8 day period at least every 3 months to maintain accuracy.
• CO2 Monitoring will not provide an accurate indication of air quality when air purifiers are used as although these clean the air, they do not remove CO2.
• To clean your Vision CO2 Monitor wipe with a dry cloth only. Solvents and aerosols can cause irreparable damage to the sensor.

MULTICOLOURED DISPLAY

Blue and Purple are disabled as default. To enable these or change the PPM alarm levels, please use the Windows App that can be downloaded from the website.

WINDOWS APP CONFIGURATION

WARNING – DO NOT adjust these settings without consulting a specialist during a pandemic. The Windows App is not necessary for normal operation.
The Windows App that is free to download from: www.flamefast-gas- safety.co.uk/vision

LOCATION & INSTALLATION

VISION CO2 MONITOR

1. To allow the release of the Wall Bracket, remove the Screw from the Base of the unit.
2. Slide the Wall Bracket downwards to release. DO NOT TRY TO UNCLIP THE BRACKET.
3. If the unit is to be desk mounted, replace the screw, and retain the Wall Bracket for future use.
4. Fix the Wall Bracket to the wall using appropriate fixings (not included). Be careful not to overtighten as this can distort the plastics.
5. Press the USB Cable into the securing channel, ensuring there is sufficient cable to loop to the cable entry point, then slide the Monitor into the bracket to lock in place.
6. Replace the securing screw to ensure that the monitor and cable cannot be removed, then plug the cable into the Vision power socket.
