INTRODUCTION This Sper Scientific Datalogging IAQ Meter 800050 is ideal for measuring indoor air quality in crowded public spaces with potentially high levels of CO2 (carbon dioxide) such as offices, factories, classrooms, hospitals and hotels. Recalls the maximum and minimum CO2 readings and has a user selectable audible maximum alarm.
FEATURES • Measures Air Temperature, RH, CO2, Dew Point and Wet Bulb • Recalls the min/max CO2 readings. • User selectable audible maximum alarm. • Calibrates to air • Hold function • Records up to 32,000 data points of temperature, RH, and CO2 •...
ABC CALIBRATION Connect the AC Power supply to the meter. The meter defaults to automatic baseline calibration (ABC) when the unit is turned on. ABC ensures accuracy by eliminating the zero drift of the infrared sensor. This will automatically calibrate the meter at the minimum CO2 reading detected during 15 days of continuous metering.
