Page 4: Operation
The AC adaptor’s output voltage is 7.5 to 9.0V and its output current is 0.5A. Use of 3 party AC adaptor can damage the meter. The LCD will display the current CO concentration, air temperature, relative humidity, date, and time (date and time toggle every 10 seconds). Six facial icons indicate the indoor air quality level and appear on the top‐tier display area (see figure at right and the section titled Display Symbols earlier in this guide for additional details). MEASUREMENT CONSIDERATIONS The meter starts measuring when powered ON and updates readings every 6 seconds. Response time is 10 seconds for CO and 2 seconds for Relative Humidity. If the environmental conditions change (for example, a low to high temperature swing) please allow 30 seconds for CO readings and 30 minutes for Relative Humidity readings to stabilize. NOTE: Do not hold the meter close to the mouth or any other source of CO . CHANGE THE TEMPERATURE UNITS ( F) The change the displayed temperature units of measure: 1. Press and hold the SET button 2. While holding the SET button, press the F button 3. Repeat these steps to change the units again CO220-EU-EN V1.3 07/13... -
Page 5: Time Weighted Average (Twa)
DISPLAY PAGES Press the CO button to change the CO display page on the top‐tier LCD area. The pages are shown below for CO , Max‐Min, TWA, STEL, IPS% and cfm/p. TIME WEIGHTED AVERAGE (TWA) TWA is Time Weighted Average (8 hours); the meter updates the reading every 60 seconds. If the meter has been powered on for less than 8 hours, the TWA value will be the weighted average of readings taken since the unit was powered ON. SHORT‐TERM EXPOSURE LIMIT (STEL) STEL is the Short‐Term Exposure Limit (15 minutes weighted average); the meter updates readings every 60 seconds. If the meter has been powered on for less than 15 minutes, the STEL value shows the weighted average of reading taken since the unit was powered ON. LPS% LPS% represents Liters per second per person. CFM/P CFM/P represents Cubic Feet per Minute per person. CO220-EU-EN V1.3 07/13... -
Page 6: Max/Min Memory
ON. In the normal mode, press the CO button to see the maximum and minimum levels of CO . While viewing the Max or Min reading, press and hold the SELECT/RECALL button to reset the MAX or MIN memory. The “Clr” icon will appear for 2 seconds and the display will begin tracking new MAX and MIN readings. DATALOGGER MEMORY 99 READINGS The user can store up to 99 CO readings in memory for later recall. Press the ESC‐MEM button momentarily to save the current CO reading with date/time stamp. The meter will emit a short beep and the memory location number will replace the RH reading for 2 seconds before returning to the RH reading. Once the memory is full, the meter will overwrite the first data point stored and continue to overwrite existing readings as new readings are stored. To recall the data use the SELECT/RECALL button. The middle tier display will show the memory location number and the top tier display will show the stored reading in ppm. The bottom tier display shows the date/time stamp for the displayed reading. Press the F‐RH% button momentarily to return to the normal operating mode. Press and hold the SELECT/RECALL button to reset the 99 point memory bank, the “Clr” icon will appear for 2 seconds before returning to the normal display mode.

Page 7: Setup Mode
Setup Mode Press and hold the SET button for 2 seconds from the normal mode of operation to access the SETUP mode. Setting Year When the two‐digit year number appears, use the SELECT button to increase the year value. Press SET to move to the next setting Setting Month When the two‐digit month appears on the LCD press SELECT to increase the month. Press SET to save and move to the next setting. Setting Date When the two‐digit date appears on LCD press SELECT to increase the date. Press SET button to save and move to the next setting. Setting Hours When the two‐digit hour appears on the LCD press SELECT to increase the hour. Press SET to move to the next setting. Setting Minutes When the two‐digit minutes value appears on the LCD press SELECT to increase the minutes. Press SET to move to the next setting. Setting Seconds When the two‐digit seconds value appears on the LCD press SELECT to increase the seconds. Press SET to move to the next setting (high alarm below). High CO Alarm In the SETUP mode, after the date and time are set (as detailed above) the A‐on icon will be displayed in the upper display. Press the SELECT button to switch the alarm ON or OFF. See diagram below. When the alarm is ON, press the SET button to save the setting and move to CO alarm setting. The meter shows CO 1000 ppm as the default alarm. To change the High Alarm, press the SELECT button to increase the value (press and hold the SELECT button to scroll faster). Press SET to save and press ESC to return to the normal operating mode. Now when the reading exceeds the programmed limit the meter will beat once per second. The meter will sound the alarm until the reading does not exceed the alarm limit, the user changes the alarm limit value, the alarm is switched off as described above, or the meter power is removed.

Page 8: Maintenance
Automatic Baseline (ABC) Calibration ABC (Automatic Baseline Calibration) establishes a baseline calibration to eliminate the zero drift of the infrared sensor. The ABC function is always ON when the meter is ON. ABC is designed to calibrate the meter at the minimum CO reading detected during 7.5 days continuous monitoring (with power on). It assumes that the area being tested receives fresh air with a CO level of approximately 400ppm at some period of time during the seven days. It is not suitable to use desktop CO in closed areas with consistently high CO levels 24 hours a day. NOTE: After the meter has been powered for one day, press the CO button to determine if the environment is suitable for the automatic baseline calibration. Maintenance Cleaning and storage 1. The meter should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary. Do not use solvents or abrasives. 2. Store the meter in an area with moderate temperature and humidity.

Page 10: Co 2 Levels And Guidelines
1,000 – 2,000 ppm ‐ level associated with complaints of drowsiness and poor air. 2,000 – 5,000 ppm – level associated with headaches, sleepiness, and stagnant, stale, stuffy air. Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may also be present. >5,000 ppm – Exposure may lead to serious oxygen deprivation resulting in permanent brain damage, coma and even death. Regulatory exposure limits ASHRAE Standard 62‐1989: 1000ppm: CO concentration in occupied building should not exceed 1000ppm. OSHA: 5000ppm: Time weighted average over five 8‐hour work days should not exceed 5000ppm Building bulletin 101 (Bb101): 1500ppm. UK standards for schools say that CO averaged over the entire day (i.e. 9am to 3.30 pm) should not exceed 1500ppm. Germany, Japan, Australia, UK: 5000ppm, 8 hours weighted average occupational exposure limit is 5000ppm.
