M3014A Mainstream and Sidestream CO
2
Humidity Correction Factor
Either BTPS or ATPD can be selected as the humidity correction factor for the CO
2
readings. The
formula for the correction calculation is:
M3014A Sidestream CO
2
Performance Specifications
CO2 Range 0 to 150 mmHg (0 to 20.0 kPa)
Accuracy after 2 minutes warmup:
For values between 0 and 40 mmHg: ±2.0 mmHg (±0.29 kPa)
For values from 41 to 70 mmHg: ±5% of reading
For values from 71 to 100 mmHg: ±8% of reading
For values from 101 to 150 mmHg: ±10% of reading
At respiration rates above 80 rpm, all ranges are ±12% of actual. The
specifications are valid for gas mixtures of CO

Performance Specifications
CO2 Range -4 to 150 mmHg (-0.5 to 20.0 kPa)
Accuracy after 20 minutes warmup and calibration:
For values between 0 and 40 mmHg: ±2.2 mmHg (±0.29 kPa)
