This is a portable, handheld carbon dioxide (CO ) monitor using NDIR technology to provide long term stability. It also measures ambient temperature. The monitor also has the following features: Data logger stores 48 sets of CO and temperature readings in the last 24 hours - one log every 30 minutes.
MODE FUNCTIONS The monitor has several Modes which can be adjusted. In sequence these modes are Alti Mode, Alarm Mode, Outside Mode, Cali Mode, Datalogger Mode, MaxMin Mode and rcFS Mode. Compensates for changes in ALTI atmospheric pressure due to altitude or weather conditions.
OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS Power On Press Power button (1) to turn on the monitor after placing 4 AA batteries into the battery compartment (take care to observe correct polarity) or AC adapter plug into the DC socket. CO readings will show after 15 seconds of warm up.

The monitor is measuring temperature outside its measurement range. These are displayed when it is necessary to reset the monitor. To reset, switch off the monitor, remove its batteries and wait for a minimum of one minute, reinsert batteries and switch on. If either error message remains please contact our Service Department for further assistance.
If not acceptable, adjust the analyser’s position to minimize interference or switch off, if possible, the offending equipment during your test. At the time of writing this manual (Nov 2007) Kane International Ltd are not aware of any field based situation where such interference has occurred and this advice is only given to satisfy the requirements of the Directive.
ANNUAL RECALIBRATION AND SERVICE There are no user serviceable components in this product. Although sensor life is typically more than five years the analyser should be re- calibrated and serviced annually to correct for any long-term sensor or electronics drift or accidental damage. Local regulations may require more frequent re-calibration.
