Functional Test
A simple and visual functional test can be easily performed.
Take a breath and blow onto the sensor from a distance of a
few centimeters. The sensor will detect a rapid increase in
the carbon dioxide concentration. As a result, the red LED
will light up if the CO2 level exceeds 1000 ppm (sensor
default setting).

The AQS51and AQS61 temperature sensor / controller
feature two push buttons (MENU and ESC), accessible
behind the flip-down lid on the front of the sensor / controller,
providing a display selection mode and a maintenance mode
for testing and calibration purposes. In the case of the ductmounted version (AQS61-KAM), activation of the push
buttons is simulated by short-circuiting the two halves of the
zig-zag trace using a screwdriver.
The YELLOW LED will acknowledge each successful push
by a short flash. More information is shown on the LCDdisplay.
All functions available with the push buttons are also
accessible via the UART serial communication port by using
a PC together with the User Interface Program Software
AQS-USP22. This tool also provides more complex configurations, calibrations, and performance checkouts of these
sensors/controllers.
If the sensor is connected to a controller, the flow of the
ventilation system will eventually increase by changing the
fan speed or opening a damper actuator (depending on the
installation/application).
In the case of the AQS61, the present output values of the
outputs OUT1, OUT2 and OUT4 can be viewed on the LCD
by pressing MENU four to six times. The displayed values are
in %FS (percent full scale) and can be compared with the
actual output value measured using a multimeter.

MAINTENANCE
General
The AQS51/61 is basically maintenance-free. An internal
self-adjusting calibration function takes care of normal longterm drift associated with the CO
highest accuracy, a time interval of max. five years is
recommended between CO
special situations have occurred.
A zero-point calibration can be performed using the push
button functions (for AQS61), or (in the case of a complete
overview) using a PC together with the AQS-USP22 software
version 4.0 (or higher). This software and a special RS232cable are included in the service kit AQS-F0005. The cable is
to be connected to the UART port slide connector. To change
control parameters and for recalibration (CO
perature), this PC tool must be used. The check can be done
on site without interfering with the ventilation system.

Maintenance Mode AQS61
A number of execution options as listed in Table 1 for test
functions and calibrations are available from the MAINTENANCE MENU. Access to this maintenance level is provided only from the selected display mode OUT1. By pushing
the MENU and the ESC button simultaneously as ENTER
command, the sensor/controller leaves the standard display
mode OUT1 and enters the maintenance selection mode.
With the MENU button, the required maintenance function
can be selected (see Table 1). The selected mode is shown
on the display.
Always use the ESC button to return to the previous MENU
selection mode, especially if any uncertainty exists regarding
the operation needed to return back to the DISPLAY MODE.
The ENTER command (push MENU and ESC simultaneously) may result in the execution of functions with temporary or
permanent changes to parameters affecting sensor/controller
outputs and system operation. Prior to such an execution, a
“SurE” message is shown on the display.

FUNCTIONS
FOUt- Fixing of Analog and Digital Outputs
This is a functional test for final control elements connected
to the outputs. When entering this operation mode, the
output is set automatically to 20%, 0% or 100% of full scale
as listed in Table 1 and Fig. 1.
Pushing the MENU and ESC button simultaneously for
ENTER, provides access to the output selection mode.

NOTE: In the event of a power failure or power-off stage, no
automatic reset of the selected fixed state is performed. To unfix the output(s) in the power-on mode,
enter the maintenance mode FOUt and release the
fixed output(s) as described above.
