Trend Chart Display

The below chart displays the past readings for any of the three parameters (CO2/RH /Temp). There are 4 modes that can be toggled key: CO2, TEMP, RH, by using the and Cycle (automatically cycles through CO2/Temp/RH).

AIRCARE SA1200P CO2 Monitor 5

Below is a table that shows the available zoom levels for all parameters, as well as the duration of each division for corresponding zoom levels:

Zoom Level (TimeSpan) Time per Division
1M (minute) 5sec/div
1H (hour) 5m/div
1D (day) 2h/div
1W (week) 0,5d/div

Max/Min

At the top right corner of the display, there are two numerical indicators: MAX and MIN. As the Zoom Level is changed, the MAX and MIN values will reflect the maximum and minimum values on the chart of the selected parameter (CO2, RH and Temp).

Main Menu Functions

The main menu functions can be actived by pressing . Pressing / will bring up the main menu, with an underlining flashing bar indicating the current choice. AIRCARE SA1200P CO2 Monitor 7
