Setting-up
Supplying Power to the Model 7545 IAQ-CALC Indoor Air Quality Meter
The Model 7545
or the optional AC adapter.
Installing the Batteries
Insert four AA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on the
inside of the battery compartment. The Model 7545 is designed to
operate with either alkaline or NiMH rechargeable batteries, although it
will not recharge NiMH batteries. Battery life will be s horter if NiMH
batteries are used. Carbon-zinc batteries are not recommended because
of the danger of battery acid leakage.
Using the Optional AC Adapter
When using the AC adapter, the batteries (if installed) will be bypassed.
Be sure to provide the correct voltage and frequency, which is marked
on the back of the AC adapter. The AC adapter is not a battery charger.
can be powered in one of two ways: four size AA batteries
Using The Probe
The sensing probe relies on the diffusion of air. For best results, try to keep
the sensing probe surrounded by moving air. Do not breathe on the probe.
Humans exhale CO
the probe to re-stabilize. Use the probe holder to support the probe when in
continuous data logging mode.
Connecting to a Computer
Use the USB Cable provided with the Model 7545 to connect the instrument
to a computer. Connect the end labeled “COMPUTER” to the computer
USB port and the other end to the data port of the Model 7545.
For more information on how to download stored data see Chapter 3 section
titled LogDat2™ Downloading Software

Common Terms
In this manual there are several terms that are used in different places. The
following is a brief explanation of the meanings of those terms.
Sample
Press to turn the Model 7545 on and off. During
the power up sequence the display will show the
following: Model Number, Serial Number,
Software Revision and Last Date Calibrated .
Press to scroll through choices while setting a
parameter. Pressing the

keys simultaneously
keys simultaneously.
Test ID
A group of samples. The statistics (average,
minimum, maximum, and count) are calculated for
each test ID. The maximum number of test IDs is
100.
5
Time Constant
The time constant is an averaging period. It is used
to dampen the display. If you are experiencing
fluctuating flows, a longer time constant will slow
down those fluctuations. The display will update
every second, but the displayed reading will be the
average over the last time constant period. For
example, if the time constant is 10 seconds, the
display will update every second, but the displayed
reading will be the average from the last 10
seconds. This is also referred to as a “moving
average”.
Logging Interval
The logging interval is a frequency period that the
instrument will log readings. For example, if the
logging interval is set to 30 minutes, each sample
will be the average of the last 30 minutes.
Menus
DISPLAY SETUP
Display setup menu is where you will setup the desired parameters to be
displayed on the running screen. With a parameter highlighted you can then
use the ON soft key to have it show up on the running screen or select the
OFF soft key to turn off the parameter. Use PRIMARY soft key to have a
parameter show up on the running screen in a larger display. Only one
parameter can be selected as a primary, and up to 2 secondary parameters
can be selected at one time.
SETTINGS
Settings menu is where you can set the general settings. These include
Language, Beeper, Select Units, Time Constant, Contrast, Set Time, Set
Date, Time Format, Date Format, Number Format, Backlight and Auto Off.
Use the or soft keys to scroll through the settings for each option and
use the
key to accept settings.
BAROMETRIC PRESSURE
Barometric Pressure menu is where you set the barometric pressure, which
can affect the CO
measurement.

ZERO CO
Zero CO menu item sets the baseline (zero) reading for the CO sensor. Only
zero the CO sensor in fresh air, where no CO is present, or with the probe
connected to zero gas.

Maintenance
The Model 7545 requires very little maintenance to keep it performing well.
Recalibration
To maintain a high degree of accuracy in your measurements, we
recommend that you return your Model 7545 to TSI for annual recalibration.
Please contact one of TSI’s offices or your local distributor to make service
arrangements and to receive a Return Material Authorization (RMA)
number. To fill out an online RMA form, visit TSI’ s website at
http://service.tsi.com
The Model 7545 can also be recalibrated in the field using the
CALIBRATION menu. These field adjustments are intended to make minor
changes in calibration to match a user's calibration standards. The field
adjustment is NOT intended as a complete calibration capability. For
complete, multiple-point calibration and certification, the instrument must be
returned to the factory.
.
Cases
If the instrument case or storage case needs cleaning, wipe it off with a soft
cloth and isopropyl alcohol or a mild detergent. Never immerse the
Model 7545. If the enclosure of the Model 7545 or the AC adapter becomes
broken, it must be replaced immediately to prevent access to hazardous
voltage.
Storage
Remove the batteries when storing the unit for more than one month to
prevent damage due to battery leakage.
