Battery Safety and Disposal

This instrument uses a rechargeable Lithium ion battery with built-in
protection against safety hazards. Always dispose of Li-ion

batteries and transport Li-ion batteries in compliance with
regional regulations.

WARNING

• Use only TSI® supplied batteries in this instrument
(P/N 800123).

• DO NOT abuse the battery in any way as the
battery may rupture or catch fire.

• DO NOT use a substitute or non-rechargeable
battery in this instrument.

• DO NOT short-circuit, incinerate, dismantle or
mutilate Lithium ion batteries.

Operation and Service Manual xi

Laser Safety

The Q-Trak™ XP Model 7585 is a Class I laser-based instrument.
During normal operation, the user WILL NOT be exposed to
laser radiation.

The following precautions should be taken to avoid exposure to
hazardous radiation in the form of intense, focused, visible light.

• DO NOT remove any parts from the Q-Trak™ XP monitor unless
you are specifically told to do so in this manual.

• DO NOT disassemble the Q-Trak™ XP monitor. There are no
user-serviceable components inside the instrument.

WARNING

The use of controls, adjustments, or procedures
other than those specified in this manual may result
in exposure to hazardous optical radiation.

WARNING

If the Q-Trak™ XP monitor is used in a manner not
specified by the manufacturer, the protection
provided by the equipment may be impaired.

When operated according to the manufacturer’s instruction, this
device is a Class 1 laser product as defined by U.S. Department of
Health and Human Services standards under the Radiation Control
for Health and Safety Act of 1968.

D I S C L A I M E R

The CO2 measurement sensor is sensitive to radio frequency
interference. Electromagnetic fields produced by items including,
but not limited to, microwave ovens, Wi-Fi® routers, cellular
phones, and personal communication devices, i.e., walkie-talkie,
two-way radios, etc. have the potential to adversely affect the CO2
measurement. To ensure a proper measurement these devices
should be TURNED OFF or placed in a mode that does not
transmit. If these devices are not turned off or placed in a mode
that does not transmit, the accuracy of the CO2 measurement may
be compromised if these devices are located within four meters of
the CO2 measurement sensor.

CHAPTER 1

Overview

The Q-Trak™ XP Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Monitor is designed for
Indoor Air Quality and Industrial Hygiene professionals to address
a wide range of indoor air quality assessments and analysis. The
Q-Trak™ XP monitor combines multiple-gas and particle
measurements into a single lightweight, handheld instrument that
is easy to configure, maintain, and calibrate in the field. The
Model 7585 includes sensors for simultaneous measurements of
temperature, relative humidity, barometric pressure, mass
concentration, particle concentration, carbon dioxide, and room for
up to five additional pluggable gas sensors. With enough on-board
memory to record data from all sensors for 30 days when sampling
data once a minute.

Also included with the Q-Trak™ XP monitor is TrakPro™ Ultra
software application used for posttest analysis and report
generation. Refer to Chapter 10 for more information.

These Application Notes for the Q-Trak™ can be found under TSI’s
web site at www.tsi.com/7585.

CHAPTER 3

Setting Up the Q-Trak™ XP Monitor

Installation of Gas Sensors

In addition to the standard built-in sensors, the device can accept up
to six gas sensors.

Install the gas sensors as follows:

1. Ensure the instrument is powered OFF.

2. Remove the sensor module cover.

3. Position the sensor as
shown, making certain the
pins make good contact
with the device. Gas
sensors can be installed in
any available slot. Listen for
a click to confirm sensor is
connected properly.

4. Attach cover to the sensor
module.

5. To configure which sensors
are shown on the display,
refer to Sensors section in
Chapter 5.

10 Q-Trak™ XP IAQ Monitor Model 7585

Providing Power to the Q-Tra k™ XP

The Q-Trak™ XP monitor can be powered with provided lithium-ion
battery or with the provided A/C adapter.

Operating the Instrument with the AC Adapter

The instrument can be
operated with or without
a battery using the
A/C adapter.

To operate the instrument
with AC adapter:

1. Plug the AC adapter
into an electrical
outlet.

2. Plug the other end
into the instrument.

NOTE

In general, TSI® recommends operating the Q-Trak™ XP monitor
with a battery even when powering the instrument with an AC
power supply. Having a battery installed shortens the warm-up
time needed for sensors to make accurate measurements.

NOTE

For best results, power on the instrument for 10 minutes before
verifying gas sensor performance. This allows the instrument and
sensors to thermally stabilize and reduces the amount of
measurement drift during verification or calibration.

Operation and Service Manual 11

Operating the Instrument with the Lithium-Ion Battery

To install the battery:

1. Remove the battery
compartment cover.

2. Connect the battery to the
handle connector.

NOTE

The battery pack connector
is designed to prevent
improper connection.

3. Insert the battery as
shown in the picture,
keeping the battery wires
to the side and clear of
the battery cover screw.

12 Q-Trak™ XP IAQ Monitor Model 7585

4. Attach the battery
compartment cover,
ensuring battery wires
are clear of the screw.

IMPORTANT

Always calibrate the battery
Power Gauge after installing
a battery pack.

Charging the Battery and Calibrating the Power Gauge

1. With the battery installed, turn on the instrument by pressing the
power button and run until the battery is fully discharged.
The instrument will automatically turn off when the battery is fully

discharged.

NOTE

The battery is shipped with approximately 25% to 30% charge.

2. Connect the AC adapter to the instrument and fully charge the
battery. This may take up to 3 hours. Note the lightning bolt

indicator when charging vs fully charged .

NOTE

It is normal for the battery to feel warm as it is charging.

3. The instrument is now ready for use with the battery. This Power
Gauge calibration procedure does not need to be repeated
unless the battery is replaced or disconnected.

Operation and Service Manual 13

Installing and Connecting to Available Wi-Fi®

(optional Wi-Fi® dongle
