The monitor will analyze the air sample and display the CO concentration in parts per million (ppm). The system’s green
“NORMAL” operation light will illuminate and the red “HIGH CO” light will  icker approximately every second when the CO
level is below 10ppm (5ppm Canadian). If the CO concentration level exceeds the alarm set point, the green “NORMAL”
light will turn off, the red “HIGH CO” light will illuminate, the audible alarm will sound, and the remote alarm connections
will energize. Once the CO concentration levels drop below the alarm set point, all alarm indicators will deactivate and the
unit will return to “NORMAL” operation.

Carbon Monoxide Monitor Specications

STEP 1)
Secure a low pressure Grade-D air source, under 150 PSI.
STEP 2)
Attach sample hose to the air sample inlet located on the right side of the case
and to the air source, 125 PSI max.
Note: A sample hose is provided with two ttings so that a set up for a standard
1/4” tting or a retrot for an ambient air pump can be achieved. For an air pump
set up, remove the pressure gauge and install a street tee in to the gauge port.
Screw the socket into the street tee; this is the connection port for the monitor.
Install the quick connect plug on the sample hose and secure with the clamp
provided. See page 4.
STEP 3)
Adjust the regulator pressure to a maximum reading of 20 PSI.
STEP 4)
Adjust the owmeter so the ball hovers between 50 and 100 cc/min.
STEP 5)
Place the “ON/OFF/TEST” switch to the “ON” position. Allow 30 seconds for the
readout to stabilize. If a reading other than “ZERO” is displayed, calibration of the
monitor may be necessary. If the CO concentration level exceeds the alarm set
point, the green “NORMAL” light will turn off, the red “HIGH CO” light will illumi-
nate, the audible alarm will sound, and the remote alarm connections will ener-
gize. Once the CO concentration level drops below the alarm set point, all alarm
indicators will deactivate and the unit will return to “NORMAL” operation.

These batteries provide the required continuous bias voltage to the CO sensor and power the monitor in the event of AC
power loss. If AC and DC power are removed for a period of 2 hours or more, a 1 hour restabilization period is required
as eratic readings may occur.
Battery Replacement: Replace 9 volt batteries when the amber “Low Battery” light illuminates. If the monitor is not used
for 90 days, check the 9 volt batteries and replace if necessary.
Filter Housing/Bowls: Periodic cleaning of the polycarbonate bowls may become necessary. Remove the auto drains and
clean the bowls with a mild soapy solution. The auto drains may also be cleaned with a mild soapy solution at this time.
Dry and reinstall into the  lter housing.
Filter Change: The  ltration system consists of  lter change indicators which will gradually change from green to orange
when  lter life is spent.
Note: Air must be  owing through the  lters before the  lter change indicators will function.
Calibration: Monitor calibration should be done monthly or whenever the reading may be questionable. A calibration date
sticker should be af xed for future reference. To obtain an accurate calibration, we recommend the use of Air Systems’
calibration kits.

Remove CO monitor from the unit.
Step 2)
Remove the four screws from the moni-
tor’s left endplate.
Step 3)
Remove endplate to gain access to the
sensor cup.
Step 4)
Remove sensor from sensor cup and remove leads. Take the new
sensor and remove the metal spring. Reattach leads to the proper
colored terminals on the new sensor. Install new sensor into sensor
cup.
Step 5)

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Do not use inert gases to zero the monitor. This will cause premature failure of the sensor.
CO Monitor Zero Adjustment
To zero the monitor, follow the steps below. Zero calibration gas should be used to properly “zero” the monitor
and assure that a valid calibration is achieved. If zero adjustment cannot be made as indicated, sensor replacement may
be necessary. After each monitor adjustment outlined in the steps, allow time for the changes to stabilize.
STEP 1)
Place the “ON/OFF/TEST” switch in the “ON” position.
STEP 8)
Allow digital readout to stabilize approximately 15-30
seconds.
STEP 10)
Turn the regulator off and disconnect the regulator from
the zero gas cylinder.
STEP 2)
Allow 30 seconds for the readout to stabilize. The green
indicator will illuminate.
STEP 3)
Hold the “ON/OFF/TEST” switch in the “TEST” position.
The following will occur:
Audible alarm will sound
Green LED will  ash
Amber Low Battery indicator on monitor will
illuminate
Red LED will be on
This test ensures the circuitry is operable and continuity
to the sensor is proper. Release the switch.
STEP 4)
Remove the air sample inlet tube.
STEP 5)
Install regulator on the zero air cylinder reference gas.
STEP 7)
Attach the clear tubing with the male plug to the air sam-
ple inlet on the monitor.
STEP 6)
Turn the knob on the regulator counterclockwise to allow
the  ow of gas thru the hose. Verify  ow of gas thru the
hose via touch or sound.
STEP 9)
Adjust the “zero” adjustment screw (clockwise to increase
or counterclockwise to decrease) until a reading of “00” is
obtained.

CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
CO Monitor Span Adjustment
Use only 10-20ppm CO gas for calibration. Using a higher concentration may decrease accuracy at lower scale readings.
Note: 10ppm gas must be used to satisfy Canadian calibration requirements.
STEP 1)
Install regulator on the CO calibration gas cylinder.
STEP 3)
Connect the plug to the air sample inlet on the monitor.
STEP 2)
Turn the knob on the regulator counterclockwise to allow
the  ow of gas thru the hose. Verify  ow of gas thru the
hose via touch or sound.
STEP 4)
Allow digital readout to stabilize 15-30 seconds.
STEP 5)
Adjust the “span” adjustment screw (clockwise to in-
crease or counterclockwise to decrease) until the digital
readout reads the same as the concentration (ppm) as
printed on the calibration gas cylinder.
STEP 6)
Turn the regulator off and repeat the “zero” adjustment
procedure. The digital readout should return to a “00”
reading.
The monitor is now calibrated and should be
recalibrated monthly or if accuracy is question-
able. Check local requirements and recalibrate
as required.
