1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing TPI brand products. The TPI 1010 Indoor Air
Quality (IAQ) Meter is a state of the art, easy to use tester designed to
provide you with the necessary measurements to monitor and make
adjustments to air handling devices. The instrument is ruggedly con­structed and comes with a 3 Year unit and 2 Year sensor Guarantee.

2. General Overview

The 1010 IAQ meter uses state of the art sensors to measure humidity,
carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2), and temperature. The
CO and CO2 sensors in your meter will need to be replaced periodically
and calibration is recommended once every year.

The CO sensor is electrochemical and this type of sensor is always
active once installed in the unit. Therefore the time the unit is off and
not being used must be taken into account when determining sensor
life. The sensors in your analyzer are warranted for two years. This
warranty does not cover sensors damaged through misuse of the
meter.

You should keep battery power applied to your sensors at all times.

The following guidelines will help prevent damage to your sensors:

Always store your unit in a place where the temperature does not get
down to or below freezing.
Always maintain battery power to the sensors. When the batteries get
low replace them as soon as possible.
Never allow foreign objects or material to enter the sensor holes, dam­age to the sensor may result.
Never over saturate your sensors by performing tests on equipment
with gas levels beyond the capability of you analyzer.
