IAQ Monitor SP-800048 & Datalogging IAQ Monitor SP- 800049 The contents of this manual may not be reproduced or transmitted in any form or by any means electronic, mechanical, or other means that do not yet exist or may be developed, including photocopying, recording, or any information storage and retrieval system without the express permission from Scigiene.
INTRODUCTION Poor air quality may cause fatigue, loss of concentration, and illnesses such as Sick Building Syndrome. Scigiene Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) monitors are ideal for crowded indoor public spaces with potentially high levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) such as offices, factories, classrooms, hospitals, and hotels.
FEATURES • Monitors CO2, RH, and Air Temperature • Large LCD display • Easy-to-understand icons indicate air quality levels • Stable and accurate NDIR sensor • Minimum and Maximum Readings • Visual Alarms • Automatic baseline calibration • Desktop or wall mount capability MATERIALS SUPPLIED •...
ABC CALIBRATION The monitor defaults to automatic baseline calibration (ABC) when the unit is turned on. ABC ensures accuracy by eliminating the zero drift of the infrared sensor. This will automatically calibrate the monitor at the minimum CO2 reading detected during 7.5 days of continuous monitoring. The ABC is designed for test areas that receive fresh air with a CO2 level of 400 ppm at some point during seven days of monitoring.

MANUAL CO2 CALIBRATION Note… Manual calibration is not recommended unless the unit can be kept in a 400 ppm CO2 environment for at least 12 hours. 1. Set the monitor in an area with stable ambient conditions and no people, or other sources of CO2. 2.
MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES For the most accurate measurement, do not place the monitor close to any source of CO2. Note… Measurement response time is 10 seconds for CO2 and 2 seconds for RH. If the operating environment changes, it takes approximately 30 seconds for the CO2 sensor to respond and 30 minutes for the RH sensor to stabilize.
Minimum and Maximum Readings monitor automatically records minimum maximum CO2 levels. To view the minimum and maximum readings while in Normal Mode: 1. Press MODE to display the maximum reading. 2. Press MODE again to display the minimum reading. 3. Press MODE to return to Normal Mode. To reset the minimum and maximum readings: 1.
Monitor Setup: Date and Time Note… To exit Setup Mode at any step in the process, press POWER for one second. 1. Press POWER to enter Setup Mode. 2. “2013” will flash. Press SEL/R to select the current year, once set, press TRH/M to save the selection and move to the next setting.
Monitor Setup: CO2 Alarm (model 800049) Press 1. After the Date and Time are set up, for model 800049, “A-on” appears on the display. Press SEL/R to toggle the alarm off and on. 2. Press TRH/M to save the selection. The default CO2 alarm setting is 1000 ppm.
