There are 2 methods for calibration: diffusion (recommended) and pump using a standard gas. For diffusion calibration, we recommend taking the unit outdoors or anywhere it will be exposed to fresh air. Wait 5 minutes until the CO 2 r eading st abilizes, start the calibration, then step awa y from the meter to insure your exhaled breath will not disrupt the calibration process.

1. Diffusion Calibration

Sensor Protector

Enter Button

Reset Button

Mode Button

2. Press the Mode Button until the CALI icon appears flashing.

1. Check that the Sensor Protector is removed. You can store it in the lower indent on the body of the unit.

3. Press Enter. The CALI icon will show steady on the LCD.

4. Press and hold the Mode button until the CALIBRATING icon flashes (about 10 seconds). Let go. Calibration will begin.

FRESH AIR IS REQUIRED. DO NOT BREATHE ON UNIT.

5. After 10 minutes the LCD will display PASS or FAIL.

6. If the LCD displays PASS press ENTER. Calibration is complete.

7. If it displays “FAIL” repeat the process.

 WhentoCalibrate:

The CO2 Safety Alarm should be calibrated at le ast once a year, or after an alarm, using normal, outdoor air (approximately 400ppm). If you KNOW the room is filled with fresh air, you can calibrate the unit in-place. Otherwise you should move the unit and power supply outdoors and calibrate. Do not breathe toward the unit during the calibration process, as your breath’s CO2 will affect the calibration settings.

2. Pump Calibration

You can use a cylinder of normal air with 400ppm of CO2 to calibrate the meter. For calibration, you must use the included air plug with an in/out port connected to the gas cylinder. The Flowrate should be set between

0.15 and 0.3 liters per minute.

Turn on the gas, wait for at least 2 minutes, and then follow the same procedure as outlined in diffusion calibration. After calibration is complete, you should see PASS on the screen. If you see FAIL, repeat the procedure before contacting us for support.
