16.2.3 Using a Mainstream CO
2
module
1. Connect the sensor to the module.
2. By default, the microstream CO
2
module is in measure mode. The message [CO
2
Sensor Warmup] appears on the screen when the CO
2
module is plugged.
3. After warm-up is finished, connect the transducer to the airway adapter.
4. Perform a zero calibration per the Zeroing the Sensor section.
5. After the zero calibration is finished, connect the airway as shown below.
6. Make sure there are no leakages in the airway and then start a measurement.
NOTE
z Always position the sensor with the adapter in an upright position to avoid
collection of fluids on the windows of the adapter. Large concentrations of fluids at
this point will obstruct gas analysis.
