Operation & Communication
1. Make sure that a filter strip is installed
in the microAeth AE51. Turn on the
AE51 by depressing the power button
for 4 seconds until the instrument
beeps for the second time and the red
and green LEDs illuminate together.
2. Release the power button and wait for
a few seconds. The pump will turn on
and the LEDs will then begin to blink on
and off in unison about every second
until the beginning of the next minute.
When the LEDs stop blinking, the
instrument will chirp indicating the start
of data collection.
3. While the unit is operating, the green
LED will blink periodically. If the unit is
set to store data to its internal memory,
the green LED will emit single blinks
every few seconds. If it has been set to
store data internally and stream data,
the green LED will blink twice every few
seconds.
4. Start the microAethCOM software.
5. Connect the USB cable to the
AE51 and your computer.
