1. GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
HD21ABE and HD21ABE17 IAQ Monitors are bench-top/portable instruments manufactured by
Delta Ohm for the analysis of indoor air quality (IAQ, Indoor Air Quality).
The instruments simultaneously measure the parameters: CO2 Carbon Dioxide, CO Carbon
Monoxide and Atmospheric Pressure.
The HD21ABE17 instrument also measures Temperature and Relative Humidity, and it
calculates Dew Point, Wet Bulb Temperature, Absolute Humidity, Mixing Ratio and Enthalpy.
HD21ABE and HD21ABE17 are dataloggers with a memory capacity of 67600 recordings, divided
in 64 blocks. They use the DeltaLog10 software from version 0.1.5.3.
Reference Standards: ASHRAE 62.1, Legislative Decree 81/2008. These regulations apply to all
confined spaces that could be used by people. Kitchens, baths, changing rooms and swimming
pools are included, due to their high humidity. You should take into account, in regard to air
quality, possible chemical, physical and biological contaminants.
The instruments have a wide Dot Matrix graphic display with a resolution of 160x160 dots.
The instruments typical applications are:
• Measurement of IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) and comfort conditions in schools, offices and
indoor spaces.
• Analysis and study of the Sick Building Syndrome, and of the resulting consequences.
• Checking the HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) system efficiency.
• Examination of IAQ conditions in factories to optimize microclimate and improve
productivity.
• Building Automation checks.

4.5 PROBES CALIBRATION
The instruments and sensors are calibrated in the factory; no calibration is usually required by the
user. However, you can perform a new calibration.
You can perform the calibration of the CO (Carbon Monoxide) and CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) sensors.
With the HD21ABE17 instrument you can also perform the calibration of the RH (Relative
Humidity) sensor.
No calibration is allowed for the Temperature sensor (HD21ABE17).
To calibrate the probes correctly, a knowledge of and abiding by the physical phenomena on which
the measurement is based is fundamental: this is the reason why it is recommended to abide by what
is reported below carefully and only to perform new calibrations if technically proficient.

4.5.3 RH calibration (HD21ABE17 only)
This procedure applies to HD21ABE17 instrument.
Before starting the calibration operation, you should check if you need a new calibration using the
saturated solutions at 75.4%RH and 33%RH: You should proceed with the calibration, only if you
find an error in one of the two above calibration points.
The calibration procedure removes the previous calibration data.
For a correct calibration of the sensor, the first point should be 75%RH and the second point
33%RH.

3. Check that the salt solution container contains simultaneously:
• Salt in solid state
• Liquid solution and wet salt.
- -
36
4. The probe and the saturated solution for this operation should
have the same temperature, and therefore should be located in a
room with a stable temperature for the entire calibration period.
5. Unscrew the probe protection; screw the M12×1 threaded ring.
6. Should there be any liquid inside the measuring chamber, dry
it with some blotting paper. The formation of liquids inside the
measuring chamber, does not impair the measurement uncertainty of the solution or measurement.
7. Screw the ring to the container with the saturated solution. Avoid
any contact of the sensitive element with your hands or another
object or liquid.
8. Once the sensor has been inserted, wait at least 30 minutes, if the
probe and salts have the same temperature. Otherwise you should
wait the time necessary to reach a balance.
9. After 30 minutes, press ENTER. The new calibration value has
been captured.
10. Once the measurements have been acquired, repeat the same
operations backwards.
11. To check the second calibration point, repeat the operations from
point 1 to point 10.
Notes and warnings:
I. Store the salt solutions in a dark environment at a constant temperature of about 20°C.
II. The salt solutions are efficient and can be used until they have some salt to be dissolved and
liquids. Usually, for the 33% RH and 11% RH solutions, you need to check the presence of salt
in solid state, while for the 75% RH solution, you need to check the presence of liquid or wet
salt.
III. In order to perform the best calibration, the temperature of the probe and of the solution should
be as close as possible. Remember that plastic materials are bad heat exchangers. Any
difference of tenths of degrees between sensors and salt saturated solutions can give errors in
the RH measurements.
IV. Do not let hands or anything touch the sensitive element. Scratches or dirt alter the instrument
measurement and can damage the sensor.
V. The measuring chamber must be closed, otherwise it will not reach a balance. Screw the probe
all the way in the container thread.
VI. The tuning or calibration sequence of Delta Ohm instruments is as follows:
• First solution: 75% RH.
• Second solution: 33% RH.
• The checking order is not mandatory.
VII. If the check, tuning or calibration, is performed at a different temperature than 20°C, the salt
solution relative humidity reference value corresponding to the working temperature is outlined
in the following table. The table indicates the relative humidity variation of the saturated salt
according to the temperature variation.

5. CONNECTION TO A PC
HD21ABE and HD21ABE17 are fitted with an USB 2.0 interface.
Optionally, you can receive on request the serial connection cable CP23 with mini-USB connector
on instrument’s side and USB 2.0 connector on computer’s side.
The instruments are supplied with the DeltaLog10 software (from version 0.1.5.3) running in a
Windows® operating environment. The software manages the connection, data transfer, graphic
presentation, and printing operations of the captured or logged measurements.
The USB connection requires the previous installation of the driver saved on the CD-ROM of the
instrument software. Install the driver before connecting the USB cable to the PC.
Standard parameters of the instrument serial transmission are:
• Baud rate 460800 baud
• Parity None
• N. bit 8
• Stop bit 1
• Protocol Xon/Xoff
The USB 2.0 connection does not require the setting of parameters.
The instruments are provided with a complete set of commands and data queries to be sent via the
PC. All the commands transferred to the instrument must have the following structure:
XXCR where XX is the command code and CR is the Carriage Return (ASCII 0D)
The XX command characters are exclusively upper case characters. Once a correct command is
entered, the instrument responds with “&”; when any wrong combination of characters is entered,
the instrument responds with “?”.
The instrument response strings end with the sending of the CR command (Carriage Return) and LF
(Line Feed).
Before sending commands to the instrument via the serial port, locking the keyboard to avoid
functioning conflicts is recommended: Use the P0 command. When complete, restore the keyboard
with the P1 command.

5.1 STORING AND TRANSFERRING DATA TO A PC
It is possible to store the measured values in the internal memory using the Logging function (MEM
key). If necessary, the data stored in the memory can be transferred later to a PC.
5.1.1 Logging Function
The Logging function allows recording of the measurements. The time interval between two
consecutive measurements can be set from 15 seconds to 1 hour. The logging starts by pressing the
MEM key and ends by pressing the same key again: The data memorized in this way form a
continuous block of data.
See the description of the menu items on chapter “4. MAIN MENU”.
If the automatic turning off option between two recordings (see par. 4.2.2 AutoPowerOff–
AutoPowerOff Mode) is enabled, upon pressing the MEM key the instrument logs the first data and
turns off. 1 minute before the next logging instant, it turns on again to capture the new sample, and
then turns off.
The data stored in the memory can be transferred to a PC through the DeltaLog10 software (from
version 0.1.5.3). During data transfer the display shows the message DUMP; to stop the data
transfer press ESC on the instrument or on the PC.
5.1.2 Clearing the memory
To clear the memory use the Erase Log function (see par. 4.2.5 Log File Manager). The instrument
starts clearing the internal memory; at the end of the operation, it goes back to normal display.
NOTES:
• Data transfer does not cause the memory to be erased: The operation can be repeated as many
times as required.
• The stored data remain in the memory independently of the battery charge conditions.
• The direct connection between instrument and printer via a USB connector does not work.
- -
40
• Some keys are disabled during logging. The following keys are enabled: MEM, MENU, ENTER
and ESC.
• Pressing the MEM and MENU keys has no effect on the logged data if these keys are pressed
after starting the recording, otherwise the following is valid.
5.1.3 Print function
Press ENTER to send the measured data directly to the USB port, in real time. The printed data
units of measurements are the same as those used on the display. The function is started by pressing
ENTER.
The time interval between two consecutive prints can be set from 15 second to 1 hour (please see
the Print interval menu item at par. 4.3.1 Print Interval). If the print interval is equal to 0, by
pressing ENTER a single data is sent to the connected device. If the print interval is higher than 0,
the data transfer continues until the operator stops it by pressing ENTER again.

7. BATTERY SYMBOL – MAINS POWER SUPPLY
The meter is provided with a pack of 4 x 1.2V-2200mA/h Ni-MH rechargeable batteries, placed
in the battery compartment.
The battery symbol on the display constantly shows the battery charge status. To the extent
that batteries have discharged, the symbol "empties". When the charge decreases still further it
starts blinking.
In this case, batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
If you continue to use it, the instrument can no longer ensure correct measurement and turns
off. Data stored on memory will remain.
The battery symbol becomes [≈] when the external power supply is connected and the
batteries charging process is ended.
The instrument can be powered by the mains using, for example, the stabilized power supply
SWD10 input 100÷240 Vac output 12 Vdc – 1000mA.
The power supply positive (pole) must be connected to the central pin.
The external power supply connector has an external diameter of 5.5mm and an internal diameter of
2.1mm.
Warning:
The power supply has a double function: it powers the meter and recharge the Ni-MH battery
pack.
7.1 BATTERIES RECHARGING
To recharge the battery pack use the SWD10 battery charger supplied with the instrument.
Proceed as follows:
• Connect the battery charger plug to the mains socket, and the battery charger connector to the
socket placed on the left side of the instrument. The power supply must be 12Vdc.
• The batteries recharging process is highlighted on the instrument display with a cyclic
visualization of the batteries level:
• Keep charging the batteries until the
[≈] symbol appears on the display in the place of the
battery symbol.

7.2 NOTES FOR THE BATTERIES USE
• At the first start up, it’s necessary to completely recharge the batteries.
• The charge time of the batteries package is about 4 hours.
• The last of the batteries package in measurement working mode is about 8 hours.
• A new Ni-MH batteries package reaches the maximum of its performance only after being
discharged and charged completely again at least twice or three times.
• The batteries package autonomy depends on the instrument use. Even if the instrument is in
stand-by with the batteries package completely charges, it is autonomously charged during the
time.
• The batteries package can be charge and discharge hundred of times, but using them the charge
loses its own capacity. Replace the batteries package when the autonomy is reduced at some
hours.
• Use only Delta Ohm batteries package code BAT-40 and recharge it using SWD10 battery
charger or one that complies with the specifications indicated in the technical data.
• The Ni-MH batteries package lasts more if, sometimes, you act with cutting and you completely
discharge it.
• Extreme temperatures weigh negatively on the performances of the batteries package.
7.3 REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY PACK
To replace the battery pack proceed as follows:
• Disconnect the external power supply, if connected.
• Remove, from the back of the instrument, the batteries compartment cover unscrewing the
screw.
• Extract the connector paying attention to not break the wires.
• Remove the battery pack.
• Connect the new battery pack: the connector has a key that prevents a wrong insertion.
• Replace the pack in the batteries compartment.
• Close the batteries compartment with the closing screw.
7.4 BATTERIES DISPOSAL
Recycle the batteries or throw them in a suitable manner.
Don’t throw the batteries to the waste.
Don’t throw the batteries into the fire.
