POWER ON/OFF

Press button to turn on or turn off the meter.
It will be unable to turn off under setting up alarm, and correction.

AUTO POWER OFF

The duration of auto power off time is 15 minutes.
If you want disable auto power off, please hold button and press button at the power shutdown mode. When you see the “n-SL” display on the LCD, that means the auto power off function is off. If you want enable auto power off, please restart the meter.
※ The auto power off will disable if the alarm is enabled.

BACKLIGHT

Press button to turn on the backlight, press this button again to turn it off.
The backlight time is 15 seconds.

CHANGE THE TEMP UNIT

Press button to change the temperature ℃, ℉ unit。

CO ALARM SETTING

Hold and press button for more than 2 seconds to enter into the alarm setting mode, press button to choose and press button to turn on(A-on) or turn off(A-oF) the alarm.
If you select the alarm to be turned on(A-on), press button to select alarm value (25/50/100/250/400/800/0000) and press button to enable.

CALIBRATION

Please shutting down the meter first, then hold and press button and press button to enter into calibration mode. It will show a blinking 0 ppm on the upper display and the lower-left corner of the screen will display the value of the ADC.
※ In the calibration, must away from the environment or equipment with electromagnetic waves.
• 0 ppm Calibration The meter is running 0 ppm calibration as default.
Put the meter in an area free of CO and enter the calibration mode. It calibrates automatically.
The duration of calibration time is 5 minutes.
• 100 ppm/500 ppm Calibration After end of the 0 ppm calibration, the screen will display 100 ppm, then press button to select 100 ppm or 500 ppm value and press button to start calibration. It will show a blinking 100 ppm or 500 ppm on the upper display and the lower-left corner of the screen will display the value of the ADC and place the meter into the sealed box filled with standard gas(e.g. 100 ppm/500 ppm) for 5 minutes, then the calibration will be done automatically.
※ Check if the reading meets calibration value. If it does, the calibration is not, repeat the procedure.

PRECAUTIONS

Keep the meter away from electromagnetic interference (EMI) which may cause erratic readings.
Recovering time is required when meter exposed to high level CO. The longer the exposure, the longer recovering time is needed.
