TO CALIBRATE THE CO2 SENSOR
-
AUTOMATIC BASELINE CALIBRATION
The monitor is establishes a baseline calibration to eliminate the zero drift of the infrared sensor. The Automatic Baseline Calibration function is always
“ON” when the monitor is turned on. The Automatic Baseline Calibration is designed to calibrate the monitor at the minimum CO2 reading detected during 7 days of continuous monitoring (power on). It assumes that the area being tested receives fresh air with a CO2 level of approximately 400ppm at some period of time during seven days. It is not suitable to use a desktop CO2 monitor in closed area with consistently high co, levels, 24 hours a day. -
MANUAL CALIBRATION OF THE CO2 SENSOR
-
Place the CO2 monitor in a 400ppm calibration surrounding. Turn the CO2 monitor on and wait until the first co, reading displayed.
-
Press and hold 12 [ON/OFF) and 3 [ /CO2 AL /CAL) buttons together over 3 seconds to enter CO2 Manual Calibration mode.

-
The calibration time is around 15 minutes, the calibration time is counting down on the display. After count down is finished, the initial calibration is completed. The CO2 monitor will return to the normal display mode and will continue the calibration in the background. It takes 24 hours to let your monitor run and display the correct co, level.
Note: Please wait for your co, monitor to complete the calibration process by itself. Do not press any buttons during the calibration process.
