5.9 CO2 self-calibration (ABC)
Before starting the carbon dioxide self-calibration
function, please first place the device in a well-ventilated
environment and provide sufficient power. The
self-calibration function takes 180 hours (approximately
7.5 days); during this period the power of the device
cannot be turned off. Suggested optimal carbon dioxide
concentration is between 400~500 PPM.
Do not start the carbon dioxide self-calibration function
(ABC) in places with poor ventilation or where the
stability of the power system cannot be guaranteed for
extended periods of time in order to prevent unnecessary
damage to the sensor.

When Alarm mode is started, the indicator will
automatically light up when “displayed test value” ≧
“alarm value”; the buzzer or dry contact setting will also
start if set as enabled.
If a threshold value is set, it will automatically stop when
“alarm value + threshold value” ＞ “displayed test value”.
When the “displayed test value” is once again ≧ “alarm
value”, it will automatically start again without the need to
reset it.
If no threshold value is set, press any button to reset the
alarm; if alarm is disabled, Alarm setting must be
restarted.
