2.0 About Your Monitor The Aeroqual Series 200 Monitor has been specifically designed to incorporate Aeroqual’s in-depth knowledge of accurate ambient gas measurement. Different sensor heads are used for specific gases or depending upon whether high or low concentrations are to be measured. The all sensor heads are interchangeable on the same base unit. The following information details the operation and features of the monitor: 1.
3.0 Assembly and Installation Assembly The following needs to be completed before the Monitor is ready for use: • Insert the sensor head into the top of the monitor. The sensor head is keyed to ensure the head is inserted correctly. • If the monitor is a mains only unit it is ready for use. If the monitor is to be used as a portable unit with batteries then the batteries must be installed and charged prior to use. 3.1 Battery Pack • Remove the battery cover from the monitor.
Removing the Battery Pack • Remove the battery cover from the monitor. • Insert your thumb under the top left hand side of the battery pack and carefully lever the battery pack out from the retaining clips. • Unclip the connector from the monitor. • Replace the battery cover. Rechargeable Batteries The optional Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery pack is used to power the monitor as a portable unit.
Charging and Discharging the Batteries New Ni-MH batteries must be fully charged prior to use. A new NiMH battery's full performance is achieved only after a number of complete charge and discharge cycles. A fully charged battery will run for approximately 4-5 hours. (Note: Perc sensor heads require more power and will run for a shorter time) Charging Instructions 1) Plug in the adaptor 2) Turn the monitor on 3) Allow 15 hours for the battery to fully charge.
Installing the AC/DC adaptor • Connect the AC/DC adaptor to the mains supply. Ensure that the adaptor is correctly rated for the power supply. • Plug the adaptor into the monitor. The monitor can now be used as a mains unit. If the monitor is to be used as a portable unit the batteries will need to be charged. 3.2 Sensor warm up Prior to operation the monitor must be warmed up to burn off contaminants on the sensor. When the monitor is first switched on it will warm up for 3 minutes.
4.0 Operating Instructions The following instructions detail the operation and set up of the monitor. Power button Enter Key 4.1 Turning the monitor on and off To turn the monitor on, press & hold the power button until the screen activates.

Turning Standby Mode on and off To activate Standby Mode with the monitor on, press the power button once. This will stop operation of the monitor; however the sensor will be kept warm. This mode is used to conserve power between operations but keep the sensor ready to measure the gas concentration with only a short warm up phase as described in “Warm up” in section 3.2. In this mode the display will be as shown below: NH3 To return the monitor to operational mode press the power button once.

13.0 Guidelines on How to Measure Ozone The following information is presented to help users operate their Aeroqual monitor with an ozone sensor installed in the most effective and efficient manner. General Ozone is heavier than air and tends to sink. Thus detection • of leaks from ozone generating equipment should be performed at the most appropriate position. Ozone will react and decompose on surfaces such as walls, furniture etc.
14.0 Zero calibration additional Information A zero calibration menu routine is included in the Series 200, however it is important to understand when this should be used. All Aeroqual sensors are supplied pre-calibrated and zero calibration is performed in the factory in an atmosphere containing < 0.5 ppm hydrocarbons, 50% relative humidity and 25 oC. Zero baseline reading checks should be performed ideally under the same conditions.
15.0 Sensors and accessories Gases Ranges Ammonia (NH3) 0 - 100 ppm 0 - 1000 ppm Carbon monoxide (CO) 0 - 100 ppm 0 - 1000 ppm Carbon dioxide (CO2) 0 - 2000 ppm 0 - 5000 ppm 0 - 5% Hydrogen (H2) 0 - 5000 ppm Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) 0 - 10 ppm 0 - 50 ppm Methane (CH4) 0 - 10000 ppm Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) 0 - 0.200 ppm Non-methane hydrocarbon (NMHC) (Isobutylene standard) 0 - 25 ppm Ozone (O3) 0 - 0.150 ppm 0 - 0.
