Dwyer Instruments 450 Series Instructions And Operation

Carbon monoxide monitor

*NOTE:
This instrument is shipped with a new 9V bat-
tery. However, there is a protective plastic cap installed on
the battery terminals. This cap must be removed and the
battery connected to the battery terminal before the instru-
ment will function.
The Series 450 CO Monitor measures car-
bon monoxide from levels 0 to 2000 PPM. The
unit is equipped with audible and visual indica-
tors of CO concentration. The beacon indica-
tor flashes in correspondence to the level of
CO detected in the air. Perfect for HVAC appli-
cations such as servicing heaters, furnaces,
appliances and for general building inspection.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
Remove two screws holding the bottom end-
cap labeled BATTERY in place and remove it.
Connect the battery to the enclosed battery
clip observing correct polarity. Insert the bat-
tery in the case. Be careful not to trap the
wires between the case or foam pad, which
retains the battery. This could make it difficult
to install the battery or remove it later for
replacement. Be sure the rubber gasket is
properly seated in the gasket channel and

replace the endcap. Note that the endcap will
only fit one way because the holes are slightly
off-center. Place the "Z" shaped wrist strap clip
in one of the screw recesses and replace the
screw. Do not overtighten. Attach the wrist
strap to the clip.
Use only 9 Volt alkaline type batteries such as
Duracell
MN1604, or Eveready
®
equivalent. Zinc-carbon types, often labeled
Heavy-Duty are not recommended because of
their shorter life and increased potential for
leakage. Alkaline batteries are a better value
because they typically last up to three times
longer in this device.

Alarm 1 is factory set 35 PPM, and Alarm 2 is factory set to 200 PPM. When the displayed value reaches the alarm setting, the appropriate alarm descriptor will turn on.
  • Page 5: Calibration Accessories

    CALIBRATION IMPORTANT NOTE: Electrochemical CO sensors slowly lose sensitivity over time. A quick “bump test” should be performed with CO gas before each usage to ensure proper instrument performance. It is also recommended to perform a calibration at four month intervals to guarantee proper operation. A replace- ment sensor should be installed if the unit can no longer be calibrated.
  • Page 6 NOTE: The regulator used with the Dwyer Instruments Calibration Kit has a fixed flow rate of 0.5 Liters/Minute. If a different calibration kit is used, make sure the flow is set to approximately 0.5 Liters/Minute.
  • Page 7: Sensor Replacement
