Telaire® 7001 CO2 and Temperature Monitor
User Instructions
Introduction
The GE Telaire® 7001 CO2/Temperature monitor (shown in Figure 1
below) is an easy to use hand-held instrument, which provides stable and
highly accurate readings due to GE Telaire patented dual beam NDIR
technology. The monitor, equipped with a 0-4 V output, is ideal for longterm monitoring and recording.

Power-Up Procedure
To power-up the monitor, do as follows:
1. Press the Power Button and a 2 second delay will occur before the
display becomes visible.
2. A duration of 10 seconds will elapse before displaying the current
readings.

3. WARM- UP will display for approximately 1 minute. During this
time, adjustments cannot be made to the sensor.
Display Features and Modes
• WARM-UP - Indicates a 1 minute warm-up
• ON LINE - Indicate when a PC is communicating to the sensor via
RJ45 port
• Normal Operating Mode - After warm-up the sensor will stabilize
and display the current conditions
Adjustment Modes
By pressing the mode button, you can scroll through the adjustment
modes. Once the desired mode is displayed, press Enter to make
adjustments. Press Enter again to save and leave the adjustment mode.
The following are the adjustment modes:
• ELEVATION - Used to compensate for elevation changes.
Startup Procedure
The following procedures describe Battery Operation, Low Battery and
AC Power Operation.
Battery Operation
For portable use, the monitor will operate up to 70 hours on 4 AA
industrial alkaline batteries. The batteries can be installed by removing
the cover from the battery compartment and following the diagram
displayed on the back of the monitor (see Rear View in Figure 1 above).
Low Battery
The low battery signal flashes when less than 30 minutes of battery life
remains. At this point, the batteries should be replaced or the AC adapter
should be used as a substitute. If ordinary operation continues, the
monitor will become inoperable and only the LOW BATT signal will
display on the LCD.
AC Power Operation
The sensor is shipped with a 6V DC, 500 mA AC/DC adapter. To use the
adapter, connect the plug into the back of the monitor and plug the
transformer into any standard wall outlet.
Note: It is important to use the adapter supplied with the GE
Telaire 7001. Using the wrong adapter may cause
damage to the monitor. Also, the battery operation will
not function as a backup during a power loss.

CO2/Temperature Monitor Operation
Before using the GE Telaire 7001 monitor, it is important to make the
elevation correction outlined below.
Ventilation Rate (cfm/p)
The ventilation rate is defined as the value that represents how much
outside air is being introduced on a CFM per person basis.
Elevation Correction
The sensor, like any other gas measuring device, is affected by altitude
changes. The sensor is shipped with the elevation setting at “zero” or sea
level. If you are located at an altitude higher than 500 feet, an adjustment
should be made to assure the maximum sensor accuracy. Once the
elevation correction is set, it will be stored and saved in the monitor
memory.
To change the default setting, do as follows:
1. Press the Mode button
until ELEVATION begins
to blink.
2. Press Enter.
3. Press Mode to toggle the
elevation reading between
feet (ft) and meters (m).
4. Use the Up/Down button
to adjust the altitude in
increments of 500 feet or
100 meters. Once the
correct altitude is set,
press Enter to save the
setting and return to
normal mode.
Temperature or CFM/person
The lower display will cycle through the following units when the Up/
Down button is pressed:
Overview
Press the up/down button until cfm/p is displayed. This value
represents how much outside air is being introduced on a CFM per
person basis. The reading is derived from calculating the outside air
ventilation rate to a space based on the inside/outside CO
readings.
The current codes/standards generally require 15 to 20 CFM/Person to
be delivered to most spaces to ensure acceptable air quality. Low values
indicate low ventilation rates and potentially poor air quality. High levels
indicate excessive ventilation and potential excessive energy usage. To
obtain accurate measurements, readings should be taken 2 to 3 hours
after occupancy has stabilized in a space or at a peak in daily CO
concentrations.

Adjusting the Outside CO2 Concentration
The sensor is factory set to assume an outside level of 400 ppm, which
should be close to the outside concentration in most areas. The outside
level of CO2 can be changed by measuring outside levels or by manually
adjusting the monitor, using the following procedure:
1. Power up outside and wait for CO
min).
2. Save the reading by holding the Enter button on the sensor for 5
seconds.
3. This value is used to calculate the ventilation rate based on the
differential of the measured outside value and into measured inside
concentration.

Stand-Alone Monitoring
Once the elevation correction has been made, as described above, the
sensor will begin to accurately display current room conditions.
Using an External Datalogger
Voltage output for both CO2 and temperature are available via an RJ-45
jack located on the rear of the unit.
Manual Input of Outside Concentration
The monitor is factory set at 400 ppm. To adjust the factory setting (for
the CFM/person calculation) or to verify the current setting follow the
steps below:
1. Press the Mode button until CO
