INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing MIC’s desktop CO monitor. It is used to measure CO concentration,air temperature and relative humidity with visible and audible alarms. This monitor is an ideal instrument for indoor air quality (IAQ) diagnosis and HVAC system performance verification.
MATERIAL SUPPLIED (1) Meter (2) Adaptor (9V+10%, >=0.5A) (3) Operation manual (4) Box with color sleeve POWER SUPPLY The meter is powered by an AC adaptor (9V/0.5 A output) LCD DISPLAY Symbols: 1) ppm : CO unit 2) icon : 350ppm 450ppm 3) icon : 450ppm...
KEYPAD (CONTROLS) 1) MODE : CO mode,TWA,STEL,lps%, cfm/P Reset Max.Min, STEL,TWA (98138.98139.98538.98539) SEL./R : Edit Date,Time or alarm level TRH.M. : Temp. Humidity mode. DPT,WBT. (98138.98139.98538.98539) Setting/ Next 4) UNIT : Select Temp. unit and backlight 5) POWER : Enter date and time,alarm setting mode Logger mode: Button start or stop.
(b) TAKING MEASUREMENT The meter starts the measurements when powered on and updates reading every 6 sec. Response time is 10 sec. for CO , 2 Sec. for RH. If the operation environment changes (ex. From high to low temp.), it takes approx. 30 sec. for CO sensor to respond and approx.

Note 1: MAXIMUM. MINIMUM: The unit automatically records maximum reading and minimum reading after powered on. b) RESET MAX/MIN: Press MODE button to get MAX or MIN reading, under MAX or MIN mode, Long press MODE button to reset Max.or Min values. If current CO reading is near MAX or MIN, you will not be easy to see the difference.
c) lps%: Liters Per Second per person. d) cfm/p: Cubic Feet per Minute per Person Assuming a conference room with Max. capacity of = 200 persons , If designed ventilation rate= 7 l/s person The amount of ventilation required= 1,400 l/s (or 5 040 CMH), if number of person is 70, the amount of ventilation only need 490 l/s, we don’t need ventilate 1,400 l/s for saving energy.
(e) Temperature unit (°C or °F) selection Press UNIT button to toggle the temperature unit (°C or°F) . HUMIDITY HUMIDITY TEMP TEMP MAINTENANCE Cleaning and storage: 1). The meter should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary. 2).
DISABLE ABC FUNCTION The meter is default with ABC for automatically 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.
BACKLIGHT FUNCTION (98137(U).98139.98537.98539) When monitoring CO , Temp. RH in the dark area, press and hold UNIT button for 5 seconds to activate backlight Press and hold UNIT button again to turn off the function of backlight. DATALOGGING FUNCTION (98536.98538.98537.98539) If you want record the CO concentration, Temp.RH, plug with supplied USB cable as below to do the on-line logging...
SETTING DATE & TIME a) Real time and date: The meter shows Mo./Date and Hr/Min on the 3rd layer of display, and each cycle is 16 seconds. b) Month/Date and Hour/Min Press POWER button to enter the real date and time setting.
