  • Page 32 AMBIENT CO2 + CO TEST Measuring Ambient CO is a very difficult gas to measure because there are many sources generating it. Whilst 'zeroing' in 'fresh air' is adequate when measuring flue gases where the CO concentration ranges from 5% (50,000ppm) to 12% (120,000ppm), or so, when measuring at ambient levels a more consistent zero is recommended.
  • Page 33: Timed Logging

    TIMED LOGGING There are situations when CO2 readings need to be taken over specific periods of time to establish a profile of concentrations. The KANE457 allows for unattended timed monitoring. Logging periods range from 4 hours to 24 hours. The sampling period is automatically adjusted to always give 240 samples.
  • Page 34 To stop the test at any time press the SEND key TEST RESULTS SAVED PRINT When printing is finished simply rotate the dial to another position to reset. NOTE: To printout 240 test results takes a considerable time and you need to be sure that your printer batteries have enough charge remaining to complete this task.
