OPERATION

POWER ON/OFF

Once the 12VDC power adaptor is connected, the device will be automatically powered on. At power-on, it performs 30 seconds countdown for device warm-up, then enters normal mode with a real-time clock displayed. To power off, unplug the power adaptor.

DATE/TIME SETUP

When the device is powered on, hold down the “SET” key for 2 seconds until entering device setup mode. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select the program (P 50, displayed in the right-middle panel) and press “SET” key to enter.
First, choose the time format as 24 hour or 12 hours by press the “UP” or “DOWN” key and then pressing “SET” key to confirm. Now, start to input the real-time clock value from year, month, day, hour to minute. Press the “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust and then press the “SET” key to confirm. After the date and time are set, a clearance of the memory must be performed. Press the “UP” or “Down” key to select P 10 and press the “SET” key to enter P11. Press the “UP” or “Down” key to choose “YES” to clear previous memories and press “SET” to confirm. Then, press the “ESC” key twice to return to normal mode.

UNIT SETUP

Hold down “SET” key for 2 seconds until entering meter setup mode. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select the program P 30 and press “SET” key to enter. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select °F or °Cand the press “SET” key to confirm. Press “ESC” key to return to normal mode.

TAKING MEASUREMENT

The device starts measurement when power on and updates readings every second.

CO2 CONDITION INDICATOR

The meter features a light bar indicator to have user easily recognize the indoor air quality. (See “Meter Setup” section for setting Normal & Poor threshold).

DATA LOGGING

The meter can automatically record readings of CO2/TEMP./RH for long time environment monitoring. The memory capacity is 6000 points for each parameter. Users can set up sampling rate from 1 minute to 12 hours and 59 minutes. The factory default rate is 1 minute.
First, setup the data record mode you need. Hold down “SET” key for 2 seconds until entering meter setup mode. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to elect the program P 10 and press “SET” key twice to enter P12. In P12, select the data record mode as “STOP” or “LOOP”. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select and then press “SET” to confirm.
“STOP”: The device stops logging while the memory space is full.
“LOOP”: After the memory is full, it starts to overwrite the oldest data.

Second, setup the sampling rate. Once finishing the P12 and press “SET” key, it enters P13. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust the sample rate from hour to minute and press “SET” key to confirm. Press “ESC” key to return to normal mode. After sampling rate setting and data record mode are completed, press “ START” key for 2 seconds under normal mode to start logging. The “REC” LED turn into green and flash on panel to indicate the logging is in process.
To terminate data logging, press “ ESC” key for 2 seconds and green LED light vanish. Repeat above to start another run of logging. If the data record mode is programmed as “STOP”, “REC” LED turn into red color and flash while the logging memory space is full.

MEMORY DOWNLOAD

The meter features logged memory download function by using a USB stick instead of connecting it with a computer. Before download, press “ESC” key for 2 seconds to stop the logging. Plug USB stick (max. 8GB memory) to USB slot on device left side, hold down “DOWN” for more than 2 seconds until seeing ” USb” appears on panel and then “USb” starts flashing on panel to indicate the downloading is in process. It will take minutes to fully download the memory. The data downloading time depends on memory size and USB stick.
The download data is saved as *.XLS file in USB stick. Using free Rotronic software HW4 or Excel to analyze the data. Suggest formatting your USB stick as FAT32 before using. If error code E60 ~ E65 appears on panel, suggest trying another model of USB memory stick.

Attention: In some cases when the size of the logged memory is large, it can happen that the display shows an error code (E60 – E65). Check the USB memory stick, the data transfer usually works. If not, repeat the process.

METER SETUP

Hold down “ SET” key for more than 2 seconds until entering setup mode. To exit setup, press “ESC” to return to normal mode. The available meter setup program is shown in below. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select the program (P10, P20, P30, P40 or P50) in the main menu and press “SET” key to enter the sub-menu. Press “SET” key to select different sub-menu (P11, P12, P13 or P14), programmable setting then flashes on panel. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust and press “SET” to confirm. To leave without saving, press “ESC” key to return.

HUMIDITY CALIBRATION

This meter can be calibrated either via 35 % rH & via 80 % rH humidity standards. The ambient condition is recommended as stable 25 °C.
Caution: Do not calibrate the humidity without the default humidity standards. Otherwise, it will cause permanent damage. Contact Rotronic for humidity standards or services. Single point calibration will cause error code E11 or inaccurate reading. Always do dual point calibration to complete a process. Suggest starting calibration from low humidity.

Pull out the humidity probe from panel
Before calibration, pull out the humidity probe from the cover in the panel rear side.

CALIBRATION VIA HUMIDITY STANDARDS

Power on the device, plug the sensor probe into 35% humidity standard. Press “SET” +”START”+” DOWN” keys simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter calibration mode. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select 350 (35.0% calibration) and press “SET” to start. “Calibrating value” (35.2% if at 25°C) is blinking on the LCD.
Waiting for 60 minutes to complete the 35% calibration. To quickly save, press “SET” key any time.
800 (80.0% calibration) comes right after 35% calibration is done. Within 20 minutes, press “SET” key to start 80.0% calibration. “calibrating value” are blinking on the LCD. Waiting for 60 minutes to complete the 80% calibration. To quickly save, press “SET” key any time. Now, the device is well calibrated. To abort without saving, press “ESC” to quit without saving.

CO2 CALIBRATION

Caution: Do not calibrate the meter in the air with an unknown CO2 concentration. Otherwise, it will be wrongly calibrated and lead to inaccurate measurements.

rotronic 1434017 CO2-Display Carbon Dioxide-
CALIBRATION

The meter can be calibrated in fresh outdoor air (on a sunny day) at 400 ppm CO2. Besides the 400 ppm, the meter can also be calibrated at 0 ppm or any value under 990 ppm. The latest calibration point is treated as final and the meter will ignore the previous calibration data.

Press “SET” +” START”+” DOWN” keys simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter calibration mode. Press the “UP” or “DOWN” key to select 400 (400 ppm) or 0 (0 ppm) CO2 calibration. 0 ppm function is only for 0ppm CO2 calibration. For other CO2 values, please choose 400 ppm and press SET” to enter. Once choosing the calibration value, 2 press SET to start and see “CAL” and CO2 value blink on LCD.
Wait about 10 minutes until the blinking stops to indicate the calibration is complete
To abort calibration without saving, press “ESC” at any time.
