Report on the performance testing of the Serinus 30 ambient air quality moni-
toring system manufactured by Ecotech Pty Ltd measuring CO, Report no.:

6.1 4.1.4 Set-up times and warm-up times
The set-up times and warm-up times shall be specified in the instruction manual.
6.2 Equipment
The testing of this performance criterion requires the additional provision of a clock.
6.3 Testing
The measuring systems were put into operation in accordance with the specifications provid-
ed by the manufacturer. The set-up times and warm-up times needed were recorded sepa-
rately.
Required structural measures prior to AMS installation such as the setup of a sampling sys-
tem in the analytics room were not assessed here.
6.4 Evaluation
The manual does not provide information on the set-up times. It is evident that this would de-
pend on the specific conditions of the measurement site as well as on the voltage supply
available. As the Serinus 30 measuring system is a compact analyser, the set-up time is
mainly comprised of:
• Establishing the voltage supply
• Connecting necessary tubes (sampling, exhaust air)
A set-up time of approx. 0.5 h was determined for various changes in positions in the labora-
tory (i.e. installation/dismounting in the climate chamber) and installation in the field.
When switched on from a completely cold state the instrument requires approx. 60 minutes
until the reading stabilises.
The measuring system has to be mounted at a place where it is protected from changes in
the weather, for instance in an air conditioned measuring container.
6.5 Assessment
Set-up times and warm-up times were determined.
The measuring system may be operated at different measurement sites without undue effort.
The time required for setting up the system is approx. 0.5 h and the warm-up time amounts
to 1–2 h depending on the time required for stabilisation.
Does this comply with the performance criterion? yes
6.6 Detailed presentation of test results
