DANGER
POISIONING HAZARD
Do not use the CAPBs sens CO30 as a device for determining
and/or monitoring CO concentrations that are hazardous to
persons.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
Information on carbon monoxide
Carbon monoxide is an extremely hazardous gas which is highly
toxic even at very low concentrations. It is invisible, tasteless and
odourless. The table below provides a general overview of the
effects of specific CO concentrations on humans.

* Depending on body height, age, sex and health, persons react
differently to CO concentrations.

4 Operation
When the CAPBs is switched on, the measuring instrument
performs zero calibration. Zero calibration must be performed in
COfree air. If you want to take a measurement, verify that you only
switch on the measuring instrument in CO-free air.
If zero calibration is performed in air with a CO concentration of >
50 ppm, the sensor does not yield measured values, but
generates an error message. New zero calibration in CO-free air
clears this error.
WARNING
INCORRECT MEASURED VALUES
Perform zero calibration immediately after switching on in
COfree fresh air.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, serious injury
or equipment damage.
8CAPBs®
DANGER
INCORRECT MEASURED VALUES AFTER EXCCEEDING OF
MEASURING RANGE
If a CO concentration above the maximum value of the
measuring range was measured, the sensor requires a
recovery time before it can deliver precise measured values
again.
If the maximum value of the measuring range was exceeded,
immediately leave the area where the measured CO
concentration occurred.
If the maximum value of the measuring range was exceeded,
perform a function test by taking a measurement at a point with
a known, safe CO concentration and verifying that the known
CO concentration is correctly displayed.
Do not perform further measurements unless you have verified
that the sensor delivers correct measured values.
Failure to follow these instructions will result in death or serious
injury.
5 Storage Store the device in a dry location away from solvents.
6 Maintenance
The measuring instrument does not contain any parts that can be
serviced or repaired by the customer.
Prior to performing a measurement, perform a visual inspection of
the CAPBs for visible damage. Do not use damaged measuring
instruments.
•Clean the measuring instrument after each use. Use a dry,
lint-free cloth for cleaning.
•Use a slightly wetted cloth to remove pollution that cannot be
removed with a dry cloth.
•Do not use cleaning agents for cleaning.
The CAPBs measuring instrument must be serviced by the
manufacturer or an authorised service point at regular intervals. The
service intervals depend, among other things, on the legal
requirements and regulations.
