MEASURING PROCEDURE
CO measurement
Power on the meter by pressing the ” Power Button “ ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) , wait
about 30 seconds to warm up the meter, Display ( 3-1, Fig. 1 ) will show
the CO value with the ” PPM ” unit in the upper display, at the same time the

MEASURING PROCEDURE](https://manuals.plus/wp- content/uploads/2023/12/Screenshot_4-399.png)
Remark :
- If the measuring environment is not existing the CO value, the upper display will show 0 to 1 ppm. Under open air environment , If Display show few digits CO value, please make the Zero adjustment ” , refer to chapter 8, page 12.
- Response time of CO measurement is < 30 seconds typically, however it is depend on the environment air circulation.
- The Temp. display unit is defaulted to ” “. If ℃ intend to let the meter’s temperature unit default to ” “, please refer to section 5-2 ( page 8 )
Remark :
- If the measuring environment is not existing the CO value, the upper display will show 0 to 1 ppm. Under open air environment , If Display show few digits CO value, please makethe Zero adjustment ” , refer to chapter 8, page 12.
- Response time of CO measurement is < 30 seconds typically, however it is depend on the environment air circulation.

Data Hold
During the measurement, press the ” Hold Button “ ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once
will hold the measured value & the LCD will display a ” HOLD ” symbol.
- Press the ” Hold Button ” once again will release the data hold function.
Data Record ( Max., Min. reading )
- The data record function records the maximum and minimum readings. Press the ” REC Button “ ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once to start the Data Record function and there will be a ” REC. ” symbol on the display.
- With the ” REC. ” symbol on the display :
a) Press the ” REC Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, the ” REC. MAX. ” symbol along with the maximum value will appear on the display. If intend to delete the maximum value, just press the ” Hold Button “ ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once, then the display will show the ” REC. ” symbol only & execute the memory function continuously.
b) Press the ” REC Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) again, the ” REC. MIN. ” symbol along with the minimum value will appear on the display. If intend to delete the minimum value, just press the ” Hold Button ” ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) once, then the display will show the ” REC. ” symbol only & execute the memory function continuously.
c) To exit the memory record function, just press the ” REC ” button for 2 seconds at least. The display will revert to the current reading.
ADVANCED SETTING
When execute the following Advanced Setting Procedures should cancel the ” Hold function ” and the ” Record function ” first. The display will not show the ” HOLD ” and the ” REC ” indicator.
Press the ” Set Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) continuously at least two seconds will enter the ” Advanced Setting “, then press the ” Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) or ” ▲ ▼ Button ” ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) once a while in sequence to select the three main function, the lower display will show :
PoFF …..Auto power ON/OFF management
t-CF …… Change the Temp , unit ℃ ℉
AL ………Setting the CO alarm value
Auto power ON/OFF
When the lower display show ” PoFF ” :
- Press the ” Enter Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, the upper display will show ” YES “, use the ” Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. ▲ 1 ) or ” Button ” ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) to select the upper ▼ text to ” no ” or ” YES “. no – Auto Power Off management will disable. YES – Auto Power Off management will enable..
- After select the upper text to ” no ” or ” YES “, press the ” Enter Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) will save the setting value ( function ) with default.
- If before press the ” Enter Button “, just press the ” ESC Button ” ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) will escape the Advanced Setting procedures without saving the value ( function ) into the circuit memory.
Change the Temp , unit ℃ ℉
When the lower display show ” t-CF ” :
-
Press the ” Enter Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, the upper display will show ” C ” or ” F “, use the ” Button ” ▲ ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) or ” Button ” ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) to select the ▼ upper text to ” C ” or ” F “.
C – The Temp. unit is . ℃
F – The Temp. unit is . ℉ -
After select the upper text to ” C ” or ” F “, press the ” Enter Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) will save the setting Temp. unit ( , ) with default. ℃ ℉
- If before press the ” Enter Button “, just press the ” ESC Button ” ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) will escape the Advanced Setting procedures without saving the value ( function ) into the circuit memory.
Setting the CO alarm value
When the lower display show ” AL ” :
- Press the ” Enter Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once, the upper display will show ” CO alarm value ” with PPM unit, use the ” Button ” ( 3-5, Fig. 1 ) or ” Button ” ( 3-6, ▲ ▼ Fig. 1 ) to select the ” CO alarm value “
- After setting the CO alarm value, press the ” Enter Button ” ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) will save the setting value with default.
- If before press the ” Enter Button “, just press the ” ESC Button ” ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) will escape the Advanced Setting procedures without saving the alarm value into the circuit memory.
RS232 PC SERIAL INTERFACE
The instrument has RS232 PC serial interface via a 3.5 mm terminal ( 3-11, Fig. 1 ).
The data output is a 16 digit stream which can be utilized for user’s specific
application. A RS232 lead with the following connection will be required to
link the instrument with the PC serial port.
The 16 digits data stream will be displayed in the following format
D15 D14 D13 D12 D11 D10 D9 D8 D7 D6 D5 D4 D3 D2 D1 D0
Each digit indicates the following status :
D15 | Start Word = 02 |

BATTERY REPLACEMENT
- When the left corner of LCD display show ” “, it is necessary to replace the battery. However, in-spec. measurement may still be made for several hours after low battery indicator appears before the instrument become inaccurate.
- Loose the ” Screws for Battery Compartment ” ( 3-8, Fig. 1 ) take the ” Battery Cover ” ( 3-7, Fig. 1 ) away from the instrument and remove the battery.
- Replace with DC 1.5 V battery ( UM4, AAA, Alkaline/heavy duty ) x 6 PCs, and reinstate the cover.
- Make sure the battery cover is secured after changing the battery.
ZERO ADJUSTMENT
Put the meter into the clean air environment ( not contain any CO value ), power on the meter by pressing the ” Power Button ” ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ), wait about 30 seconds to warm up the meter. If the display not show ” Zero ” CO value, then pressing ” Alarm Button ” ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ) continuously at least two second will offset the display value and show ” 0 PPM “.
- The zero adjustment procedures are effected only existing Display value is within 10 PPM.
SYSTEM RESET
If the meter happen the troubles such as :
CPU system is hold ( for example, the key button can not be operated… ).
Then make the system RESET will fix the problem. The system RESET procedures
will be either following method :
During the power on, use a pin to press the ” Reset Button ” ( 3-13, Fig. 1 )
once a while will rest the circuit system, After execute the ” System reset ”
the setting value of : Advanced Setting ” will be cleared and return to
default value.
