ProductOverview
Thisportablebattery‐poweredCO2Meter,Inc.meterisdesignedtomeasurecarbondioxide(CO2)inrealtimein
inaccessibleareasforapplicationssuchas,butnotlimitedtofermentationvats&barrels,biologicalincubators,
andCO2leakdetection.
MeterswithloggingcapabilitiesaredesignedtorecordCO2concentrationleveldataoverperiodsoftime.Itstores
upto60,000collecteddatapointstoitsinternalmemorytoberetrievedatalatertimeforanalysis.When
combinedwithourGasLab
®
software,youcanalsoseereal‐timedataonyourcomputer’sscreen.Thesemetersare
idealforapplicationssuchas,butnotlimitedtoCO2monitoringofproductswithmodifiedatmospherepackaging
(MAP),monitoringofmoldproductioninareasusedtostoregrains,andtestingoffiresuppressionsystems.
Itsbuilt‐in1,000hourssamplingmicro‐pump(10,000Hr.optional)ensuresreliableoperationforpersistent
readingsbasedonuser‐selectedtimeintervals.
Scientificdevicessuchasthissamplingmeterrequireuserstohaveintimateknowledgeofthemeter’sfeatures,
limitations,operation,requiredsoftware,andspecificationspriortouse.CO2Meter,Inc.highlyrecommends
readingthisuser’smanualbeforeoperatingthismeter,especiallytheImportantSafeguardssectiononpage4.

PrincipalofOperation
TheCO2sensorinsidethismeterusesprovenNDIR(non‐dispersiveinfrared)technologytosense,asafunctionof
transmittedlight,theconcentrationofCO2intheair.
Airfromthetubeinletportispulledintothesensor’sCO2moleculedetectionchamberbyamicro‐pump,then
expelledoutthetubeoutletport.
ThemeasuredCO2levelisshownontheLCDinrealtimeand/orloggedintomemorywithadate/timestampfor
laterretrieval.
Themeterisfactorycalibratedtooperatewithinthespecifiedrangeandprecision.
