INSTRUCTION MANUAL I. INTRODUCTION The Model 2008SDH-2AP is a gas detection system designed to determine the carbon dioxide content of the air for various monitoring applications. It senses and measures carbon dioxide (full-scale ranges are available from 50% to 100%) and provides a linear output of 0- 1VDC and 4-20mA as a function of carbon dioxide concentration.

Any carbon dioxide in the gas sample cell selectively absorbs energy reaching the detector. This change in energy is detected, amplified and sent to the signal-processing portion of the system. FIGURE 2 (2008SDH-2AP Gas Cell / Detector) Copyright 2017 VTI-Valtronics Inc.
3. Apply CO2 gas through the gas cell – an amount equal to or lower than the “full-scale” of the unit. Example: if you are checking a 2008SDH-2AP 100% unit flowing 100.00% gas through the gas cell at a flow rate of about 50ml/min., it should produce a reading of 1.00V ±...
VALTRONICS MODEL 2008SDH-2AP CARBON DIOXIDE MONITOR INSTRUCTION MANUAL FIGURE 3 V. SERVICING A. Zero Adjustment If the accuracy of the unit is in doubt, “zero-check” it by using a cylinder of Nitrogen or -free air. 1. Remove protective cap from the top of the nitrogen cylinder. Push and thread pressure regulator valve onto cylinder outlet.
INSTRUCTION MANUAL B. Span Adjustment Note: It is not normally necessary to adjust the span on the Model 2008SDH-2AP. Once the span has been properly adjusted at the factory, it does not require adjusting. All that is normally required is a zero check or adjustment.
