appliance where there is a high emission of soot, the probe’s
sample filter may become clogged. Before every use check the
filter to confirm it is clean or replace it with a new filter.

To prevent soot intake and a clogged filter, a smoke test should be
performed before operating under such conditions. This ensures
that the furnace or boiler is burning at a level appropriate for the
use of this instrument.

1.4. Product Overview

The Monoxor Plus is a portable hand-held carbon monoxide (CO) analyzer for
use in residential and light commercial applications. It is intended to be used
by:

• HVAC contractors

• home inspectors

to detect and display concentrations of CO gas between 0 and 2000 ppm. The
analyzer is capable of testing for CO in both ambient room air and in the flue­gas stream of fossil-fuel fired furnaces and boilers. Using the optional
appliance kit, you can measure CO levels emitted from fossil-fuel-based
appliances such as gas stoves and gas fireplaces.

Monoxor Plus Manual Overview

The analyzer detects and displays the presence of CO by first drawing in a gas
sample from the area being tested by the analyzer’s built-in motorized pump.
The gas sample is next directed into a sensor chamber where the sample is
analyzed for the presence of CO. If CO is detected, the CO ppm level is given on
the analyzer’s main display. A trending screen (accessible from the RUN
screen by using the right or left arrow key) shows dynamic CO levels graphed

Overview Monoxor Plus Manual

over a programmable time period (from 30 seconds to 15 minutes). In addition
to the visual notifications, you can set a CO alarm limit, above which an audible
alarm buzzer will beep repeatedly. An audible alarm with a slower beep
frequency occurs when the batteries are low.

A backlight enables the operator to read the display in dimly-lit areas. The
displays and menus are available in multiple languages (English, French and
Spanish).

A permanent record of the detected CO level, along with the current time and
date, can be made by using the optional wireless IrDA printer. Test records can
also be saved in memory.

An ambient CO feature takes approximately 15 minutes to complete and
provides a minute-by-minute snapshot of CO readings, as well as a “Max CO”
value that represents the highest CO reading measured during the entire test.
Results can be saved to memory and/or printed. Use the optional CO
Appliance Kit (P/N 0024-8555) to perform an ambient CO measurement if
required.

A calibration reminder can be set to occur every 6, 8, 10, 12, or 15 months after
the last calibration. (Select “Never” to disable this feature.) Regular calibration
periods of 6 months to 1 year are recommended. The calibration reminder
value sets a time period after which the analyzer displays a calibration
reminder message during warm-up.

To avoid the need for manual CO sensor calibrations, the B-Smart® Sensor
program is supported with the Monoxor



Plus. After enrolling in the program,
pre-calibrated replacement B-Smart® CO sensors are shipped at pre­determined intervals of your choice.

• Choose a program start date that best suites your needs.

• Receive a pre-calibrated B-Smart® sensor.

• Return your old sensor in a returnable, pre-labeled container.

Benefits include no downtime, self calibration, convenience, and cost savings.
For additional information about the B-Smart® Calibration Program, contact
Bacharach at 1-800-736-4666 or email [e-mail].

A programmable inactivity timeout causes the analyzer to initiate shutdown
mode if no key presses occur for the specified time period. If the analyzer
initiates automatic shutdown or is turned OFF manually while a high level of CO
is still present within the unit, the automatic CO purge feature forces the
analyzer’s pump to remain on until the detected CO level drops below 50 ppm.

Section 4. Operation

4.1. Overview

To operate the Monoxor

• Turn the analyzer ON

• Wait for the unit to warm up

• Take a gas sample.

Before beginning your test, verify the following:

• menu items are properly configured

• the disposable filter is clean

• the probe is attached to the instrument

• the power is ON and sufficient (one of the following):

o four new batteries (AA alkaline)
o four new batteries (AA lithium)
o four fully-charged AA rechargeable batteries

• the warm-up process has completed in fresh air without interruption

or errors.

4.2. Taking a Gas Sample

IMPORTANT: Important! If the CO channel is set up for Auto Zero

1 From the Calibration Menu (see page 28), use the UP () and DOWN ()

arrow buttons to highlight CO, and then press ENTER to display the
CALIBRATE CO screen. This requires password validation (see page 28).

“Measured” is the current CO reading, while “Applied” is a known CO level
that will be applied for calibration purposes.

2 Use the UP (), DOWN (), LEFT (), and RIGHT () arrow buttons to enter

an Applied value that exactly equals the concentration stamped on the CO
cylinder.

NOTE: Bacharach recommends using a 500 ppm calibration gas,
however the calibration range is from 20 to 1,000 ppm. An attempt
to calibrate outside this range will cause the message “Applied
Value High” (or Low) to appear at the bottom of the screen.

Calibration and Maintenance Monoxor Plus Manual

Step CO Span Procedure

3 Attach a 500 ppm CO cylinder to the regulator and connect calibration kit

components as shown below. Apply 500 ppm carbon monoxide in an air
balance calibration gas.

4 Wait until the Measured reading stabilizes and then press ENTER. The

message “Good Calibration” should briefly appear.

If the sensor’s output is low, but still usable, then the message “Good
Calibration WARNING Low Sensor” will appear. The sensor will now be
marked as being Low in the Warm-up screen.

If the sensor’s output is too low to be usable, then the message “Bad
Calibration Sensor End of Life, Entry Not Saved” will appear.

5 Close the regulator and remove the CO cylinder.

5.7. T-Ref Sensor Calibration

The T-Ref sensor is located inside the instrument. Calibration is done at the
factory and should not need to be done in the field.
