Page 12: Chapter 5 - Sensors - Technical
CHAPTER 5 SENSORS -TECHNICAL The great versatility of the SI-AQ PRO Air Quality monitor is partly due to the large number of sensors available within a single monitor. These sensors are primarily gas sensors and can be grouped into four categories based on their principle of operation: 1. - Page 13 1. ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSORS All electrochemical sensors are mounted on fitted socket fittings for easy installation and removal. The electrochemical sensors are described below: A. Nitrogen Dioxide sensor (NO This is a three-electrode sensor that responds to nitrogen dioxide gas. Nitrogen dioxide is a “sticky” gas and this sensor’s response is usually the slowest of all sensors.
- Page 14 (IR). The SI-AQ PRO Air Quality Monitor is equipped with one standard NDIR infrared sensor capable of CO measurement (standard range: 0 - 5000 ppm). This infrared sensor can be substituted for higher CO ranges upon special request.
- Page 15 3. NON-GAS SENSORS a. Ambient Temperature sensor This is a solid state sensor located on the front panel of the monitor. The ambient temperature is displayed on the MEASURE screen in either °F or °C. The dew point is calculated from the ambient temperature and relative humidity. The dew point is displayed on the Small and Large Font MEASURE screens as DPt.

Page 18: Chapter 7 - Internal Data Storage
Erase Buffers 00: TAG#00 The SI-AQ PRO has 2000 internal storage tags/memory spots. Each tag stores one complete set of air quality data. There are two ways to store air quality data to the monitor’s buffer. You can either store data by selecting the option STORE CURRENT DATA after pressing the STORE key, or alternatively you can make use of the monitor’s capability of storing data automatically on a periodic basis. - Page 19 7. NAME BUFFERS: This choice will take you to another screen *** NAME BUFFERS *** where you can rename one or more tags.

Page 22: Chapter 9 - Zero & Span Calibration
If the unit is returned to Sauermann for Span Calibration, the unit will be shipped back after Calibration with a new Calibration Certificate valid for one (1) year. If the unit is Span Calibrated in the field, the original calibration certificate is no longer valid. - Page 23 If you have a gas cylinder/bottle of ZERO AIR you can use this for Zeroing ALL of the gas sensors in the SI-AQ PRO. If you do not have this cylinder, please contact Sauermann to purchase our optional Calibration Kit consisting of ZERO AIR & regulator for proper calibration of the SI-AQ PRO (part #: Si- AQ Calibration Kit).
- Page 24 Press the OK key to execute a zero cycle of all the gas sensors. This procedure should last 60 seconds. At the end of the zero period, the SI-AQ PRO reads the output of all gas sensors (with the exception of...
- Page 25 At the end of the zero period the SI-AQ PRO reads the output of all gas sensors (with the exception of the CO sensor) and sets them all to zero, with the exception of the Oxygen (O ) that it sets to 20.9%.
- Page 26 A compressed cylinder of span gas must be equipped with a primary pressure regulator. Connect the regulator of the bottled gas to the SI-AQ PRO “A” inlet in the center port on the bottom of the unit. A simple way to feed the span gas to your monitor is by an open T-connection that will ensure that gas is fed at ambient pressure.
