pleted a step refer back to this page to see what the next step is.
There will be times when the manuals with need to be used in con-
junction with one another. This list is here to help you use the equip-
ment more efficiently, you should still read all of the manuals thor-
oughly before using this list. By reading all of the manuals and then
referring to this list you will have a better understanding of how the
equipment works.
1. First, adapt the generic chamber. In the "Adapting a Generic Chamber" manual, refer to the:
"Installation Overview" section, for an overview of how to install the generic chamber. Also use
the "Adapting a Chamber for a ProCO2" section for information and directions on how to
adapt the chamber for a ProCO2.
2. Now, installing the ProCO2. In the "ProCO2 Model 120" manual refer to the: "BioSpherix
Supplied Parts" and "User Supplied Parts" sections for a parts list. Also refer to the:
"Setup of Gas Supply", "ProCO2 Front Panel Installation" and "ProCO2 Back Panel Instal-
lation" for how to make all the connections.
3. Next, familiarize yourself with the push button interface. In the "ProCO2 Model 120"
manual refer to the: "Operation", "Program Functions Menu" and "Configuration" sections
for information regarding the push button interface.
4. Now, calibration. In the "ProCO2 Model 120" manual refer to the: "Calibration" section
for information on how to calibrate the sensor.
5. Next, tuning. In the "ProCO2 Model 120" manual refer to the: "Tuning" section for spe-
cific information on fine tuning. You shouldn't have to use this section much, because most
tuning is done at the factory.
6. Now, operating. In the "ProCO2 Model 120" manual refer to the: "Single Setpoint Con-
trol" section for information on how to operate with the ProCO2. Also refer to the: "Setting
the Alarm Setpoint" section for directions for how to set a specific alarm setpoint.
7. Finally, maintenance issues. In all of the manuals refer to; "Maintenance" sections on
how to maintain the respective equipment.
