1. PRESENTATION 1.1 INTRODUCTION Carbon dioxide is a colourless and odourless gas. It is not toxic, but at high concentrations can interfere with mental concentration and cause headaches. Outdoor air contains approximately 0.04% (400 ppm) CO2. In an indoor environment, human activity (breathing) can rapidly increase this concentration to values in excess of 1000 ppm (for example in meeting rooms or school classrooms).

2. USE IN STAND-ALONE MODE The instrument can operate in two modes: • the stand-alone mode described in this section, • the record mode, in which it is controlled by a PC. This mode is described in the next section. 2.1 INSTALLING THE BATTERIES See §5.2. 2.2 SWITCHING THE DEVICE ON 2.3 SWITCHING THE DEVICE OFF 2.3.1 Manual switching off Manual switching off is blocked if a programmed recording session (P_REC) is in progress. 2.3.
It also has several functions that can be used in the various modes: The MIN MAX function The HOLD function The M_REC function The backlighting function 2.5 PORTABLE MODE The portable mode is the mode the device starts up in. It is in this mode that the device makes the most measurements: one every 15 seconds. It is therefore highly responsive to changes in air quality. This mode is used to inspect several rooms one after another.
2.6.2 Operation of the visible and audible warnings 1D mode: Activation of the visual (and, if activated, audible) warnings during overshoots of the CO2 thresholds.
3D mode: Activation of the visual (and, if activated, audible) warnings during overshoots of the temperature, humidity, and/or CO2 comfort zones. Example of display with no overshoot of the CO2, temperature, and humidity comfort zones Back-lighting off Blinking red back-lighting Optimum comfort zone indicator: Example of display with overshoot of the temperature and humidity thresholds Arrow in the direction of the overshoot for each quantity outside the comfort zone.
2.7 ECO MODE (ENERGY SAVING) The ECO mode is used when the device is left to measure the air quality in a room over a longer period. The backlighting and the buzzer are deactivated, and CO2 is measured only once every 10 minutes. This saves the batteries. In addition, the device sets itself to sleep mode at night, from 4:30 p.m. to 8:30 a.m. These times can be programmed using the Data Logger Transfer software provided with the device (see § 3).
2.9 MIN MAX FUNCTION This function displays the maximum and minimum measured values in addition to the current value: the device compares each new measurement to those displayed. If the new measurement is greater than the former MAX value or less than the former MIN value, it replaces them in the display. The MIN MAX function cannot be used in the 1D and 3D modes.
2.10 HOLD FUNCTION (HOLDING THE MEASUREMENT) Pressing HOLD freezes the digital display on the last measurement displayed. Activating the function does not entail interruption of recording or of the current mode, but access to the other functions of the device is disabled. To stop the function 2.11 M_REC FUNCTION (MANUAL RECORDING) You can start recording manually and all data measured are recorded in the device at the rate determined by the mode in progress (see the table in § 4.3).
2.13 ACTIVATION OF THE AUDIBLE WARNING (BUZZER) Deactivation Activation First press the ECO key, then, while keeping it pressed, press the MODE key. Repeat the operation. There is no buzzer if the ECO mode is active. 2.14 CHANGE OF UNIT OF TEMPERATURE The choice of unit of temperature is preserved when the device is switched off. 2.15 DISPLAY OF ERRORS AND ANOMALIES OF OPERATION 2.15.1 OL symbol The OL symbol appears on screen when the measurement leaves the range covered by the device.
3. USE IN RECORDING MODE The instrument can operate in two modes: • the stand-alone mode described in the previous section, • the record mode, in which it is controlled by a PC. This mode is described below. 3.1 CONNECTION The device has 2 communication modes: • A USB link via a USB-micro USB cord, • A Bluetooth wireless link. 3.2 GET DATA LOGGER TRANSFER SOFTWARE Visit our web site to download the latest version of the application software: www.chauvin-arnoux.
3.4 BLUETOOTH LINK The instrument has a Bluetooth link. • Activate Bluetooth on your PC. If your PC does not have a Bluetooth link, you can add a board or Bluetooth adapter connected to a USB port (see §7). Since Windows 7 does not manage Bluetooth, a specific USB/Bluetooth adapter must be used (see §7). • Switch the instrument on by a long press on the The key, then activate the Bluetooth link by a long press on the key. symbol is displayed.
If a coupling code is requested, enter 1111.
The instrument is then ready to communicate with the PC. 3.5 DATA LOGGER TRANSFER SOFTWARE Once the instrument has been connected to the PC, whether by USB or by Bluetooth, open the Data Logger Transfer software. For context-sensitive information about the use of the Data Logger Transfer software, refer to the Help menu. 3.5.1 Connecting the instrument • To connect an instrument, click Add an instrument, then choose the type of connection (USB or Bluetooth).
3.5.5 Reading the records The Data Logger Transfer software lets you read the records made. Click Recorded Sessions under the name of your instrument to obtain a list of the records. 3.5.6 Exporting records Once the list of the records is displayed, choose the one you want to export and convert it into a word-processing document (docx) or a spreadsheet (xlsx), in order to be able to use it in the form of reports or curves.
