(PID) technology and ultraviolet lamps to break down single-gas VOCs into ions are faster and more accurate than the VOC08, but they cost at least 10 times more. The VOC08 is therefore a much more suitable solution for home inspectors and facilities managers who only need to spot- check concentrations of mixed-gas VOCs.
USB cable, an AC adaptor and this hardware user’s manual come in a soft pouch inside a white box.This hardware manual is also provided as a printable pdf file on the disc, along with a pdf file of the VOC08 software manual.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW Fig. 1 shows all controls, indicators and physical structures of the VOC08. Fig. 2 shows all possible indications on the LCD. Familiarize yourself with the locations and functions of the control buttons and the meanings of the display icons before moving on to the Setup and Operating Instructions.

2) Freeze both readouts by pressing the HOLD button. 3) Change the temperature unit to/from °F and °C by briefly pressing the UNIT button. The VOC08 will “remember” the unit in use when the meter powers off and will resume using that unit for ambient, DP and WB temperatures when it is powered on again.

VOC levels at multiple locations. The session begins when you power on the VOC08; it typically ends 15 minutes after you finish making measurements with the activation of the APO function. Max and Min readings are automatically and continuously updated.
To display the lowest VOC concentration recorded during a measurement session, press the MAX/MIN button twice. The minimum reading will appear on the upper readout, with the term MIN above it on the top line. The figure at right Real- session time shows both session...
Alternatively, you can recalibrate the meter using a standard VOC gas. But be aware that attempting to recalibrate the meter without a standard gas may actually lower the meter's accuracy. For best results, send the meter out for calibration to a qualified laboratory recommended by your distributor. SPECIFICATIONS VOC Measurement Range / Resolution: 0 to 50 ppm / 0.01 ppm VOC Warmup Time: 10 minutes first use, 2 minutes thereafter...
AC adaptor if you expect to routinely conduct measurement sessions lasting more than 15 minutes. Remove the batteries if you don’t expect to use the VOC08 for an extended period of time (months or years). Abrupt temperature changes will cause condensation and possible vapor penetration.
Do not drop or disassemble the meter or immerse it in water. The VOC08 may display the following two sensor error messages on its bottom readout: E- 1: The VOC, temperature or RH sensor is damaged, or communication with any of the sensors has failed.
HOLD and/or BKLT buttons to quickly increase or decrease the values. WARRANTY INFORMATION This product from General Tools & Instruments (General) is warranted to the original purchaser to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of two years. Subject...
