CO2 sensor to: For On-line experiments: 900-213 USB Module. For Off-line experiments: 900-215 Battery For use with the Edu-logger Viewer: 900-272 Viewing Module and 900-215 Battery. The sensor now needs to be calibrated: Connect the CO2 sensor to the left side of a 900- 213 Module (which is connected to a computer via the USB to mini USB cable).

Open the Edu-logger software. Once the CO2 sensor is detected click the “Module setup” button. Hold the probe vertically so the opening is facing the ground. Press and hold the blue “Start/Stop” button the faceplate of the sensor for 3 seconds.

Videos, literature and other probes can be found www.edulab.com Technical background: The philosophy behind Edu-logger‟s plug and play technology is based on each sensor‟s ability to store its own data due to an internal flash memory chip and micro-controller in each plastic Edu-logger body.

When the sensor is exposed to CO gas , the following electrochemical reaction occurs: Cathodic reaction + CO + 1/2O + 2e = Li Anodic reaction + 1/2O + 2e = Na Overall chemical reaction + 2Na = Na O + 2Li + CO As a result of the electrochemical reaction, electro-motive force (EMF) would be generated...

Maintenance and storage: Never submerge the Edu-logger sensor‟s plastic body in any liquid. Do not allow liquid into the Edu-logger sensor‟s plastic body. After using the probe wipe off all excess material, liquid or residue from the CO2 probe body.
