Charging the internal battery can be performed:
• Either with the supplied power (the Cairsens continues to measure normally during this phase).
• Either from the USB port of a computer (the Cairsens measure continues normally during this phase).
The battery of Cairsens is initially charged charged to 100% at the factory, however, a natural discharge can occur and be recognized upon
delivery. Upon receipt, it is asked to recharge it completely, in order to benefit from 3 months of shelf storage without use. By the way, thank
you for not forgetting to reconnect the red dongle from this moment
The charge level is given by the icon "battery" whose filling is the real autonomy as illustrated by the following table:

No measurements.
Time stamp maintained.
Tip: Charge the battery for 4 hours
minimum.
Battery empty
Cairsens off.
Time stamp stopped.
Tip: charge the battery for 4
hours minimum.
The optimal charging time is 4 hours, a full charge every 24 hours (8 hours for COVNM sensors) is recommended.
Commissioning
The Cairsens commissioning is done by removing the red dongle Mini USB connector. The screen displays 'StArt' (see photo
below).
No prior adjustment is necessary, at the inception of the function begins Cairsens measures, automatically will be
stored and displayed on the screen.
The memorizing of the measures is done continuously in internal memory of Cairsens.
Measures are exploitable in graphical format and / or in .XLSX file on computer with the software CAIRSOFT V4.5
(and more).
Calibration and measurement of Cairsens are guaranteed and certified for 12 months after delivery.
Measurement made by the sensor:
The measurements displayed on the screen are made as follows:
• Moving average of several sensor readings within one minute.
• This value is stored in memory.
• Refresh this value on the screen every 10 seconds.
The frequency measurements may be either (using Cairsoft) for 1 minute, 15 minutes
or 1 hour.
Warning, this parameter directly affects the amount of storable data and storage
duration (see "Download of the measures").
The sample conditionning is ensured by the filter, an essential component for the proper functioning of Cairsens and must be handled with
care.
Humidity and temperature readings:
The Cairsens measure the temperature and relative humidity and stores them at the same frequency as that chosen for the measurement
of the concentration of the individual pollutant:
Temperature [T °C ] of the air sample is expressed in ° C.
Relative humidity [RH%] of the air sample is expressed in%.
These two statements are included in the same table that measurement of the pollutant, with downloadable Cairsoft.
Metering and monitoring the autonomy of Cairsens:
The Cairsens measure the battery voltage [Bat (mV)] and store it at the same frequency as that chosen for the measurement of the
concentration of pollutant. This measurement is transcribed as follows:
• Bat (mV) = 4700 mV: the Cairsens is charging / connected to a power supply.
• 4200 <Bat (mV) <3300 mV: Normal use of Cairsens on battery only.
The Bat measures (mv) are integrated in the same table that measures the concentration of pollutant, with downloadable Cairsoft. The
[battery] logo on the LCD screen also allows to follow this trend (see "Power supply and Charging" chapter).
Time, date and time stamping of measured data:
The internal clock is factory set. Before use or measurement campaign, check its setting.
The loss of autonomy can alter the timestamp (see Table 1 above), the Cairsens record the date and time
of last analyzed sample.
At reboot:
The display indicates the Cairsens alert 'dAtE' 'with a lower 3 LED flashing every 5 seconds (see
photo cons).
Proceed to set the time and date using the Cairsoft software. Once the adjustment, the time
stamp measurements will resume from the new date and time.
If the setting is not made, the measures will be stamped from 01/01/2030.
Manual control of startup and shutdown steps:
The Cairsens is, by default, continuous measurement mode. Dongles provided allow you to change this feature manually:
The Red dongle:
oInserted: The Cairsens is in "sleep" mode. No action is made; the fan and display are turned off. Use
during storage or prolonged Cairsens of non-use.
oRemoved: The display shows' 'StArt' (see "commissioning"), the measure in continuous mode resumes.
The Green dongle:
oInserted: Enables the use of Cairsens on a flat surface (eg a desktop) without closing the inlet sample.
Also provides protection from the USB port while using the Cairsens.
oRemoved: no action.

Measurement display:
This display mode in addition to the "battery" icon is the default view of Cairsens.
It done a measure of the concentration of pollution in continue by the 3 left digits [1] and the 2 right
digits [2] exponent of the first 3 digits [1] is:
Value measured by the sensor = [XXX] * 10^ [xx].
For example:
Sensor measurement = 806 ppb Display on screen = [806] [00] (ppb).
Sensor measurement = 8060 ppb Display on screen = [806][01] (ppb).
The unit is ppb, and is represented by 3 characters [3] under 3 left digits [1].
The green LED [4] flashes regularly to indicate the proper functioning (continuously measures mode)
of Cairsens.
When a malfunction is detected by Cairsens, it will be displayed on the screen alternating with the
measurement every three seconds.
Display of malfunctions:
Detectable defects are:
cAL (see photo cons): The sensor has reached its lifetime of 1 year. This timeout, measurement and calibration of
Cairsens are no longer certified. It is advisable to renew the Cairsens (Prices on request from your usual sales contact,

6. SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF USE AND STORAGE
Terms of use:
Temperature Range: - 10 ° C to 50 ° C.
Relative humidity range (% RH): 10% to 90% (non-condensing).
Storage conditions:
Temperature Range: 5 ° C to 50 ° C.
Relative humidity range (% RH): 10% to 90% (non-condensing).
Maximum storage time without use: 3 months.
Commissioning after a lengthy storage:
Prolonged storage (more than 4 weeks) directly influences the sensor performance for the 1st day of use following its return to service. It is
strictly recommended to keep the Cairsens constantly recharged or powered by applying the storage conditions.
The sensor needs to be reconditioned to regain its accuracy. It is therefore highly advisable to perform a full reconditioning of the
electrochemical sensor, according to one of 2 available methods:
(1) Reconditioning accelerated using a standard gas bottle containing a mixture of the test gas with reconstituted air (20.9% oxygen):
(a) Use a sealed volume *(a “nalophan” pocket for example).
(b) Putting the Cairsens in this volume for 10 minutes.
(c) For new next 10 minutes, Injecting a concentration:
oMaximum range for a Cairsens which the measuring range is equal to or less than 0/1 000 ppb.
oEquivalent to 1 / 20 of the maximum range for Cairsens whose range is greater than 1000 ppb.
(d) Empty volume of content (open or extract the gas still present) until the gas concentration is close to "zero" ppb.
(e) Reiterate again from step (b).
* WARING: a minimum of 10% of RH% humidity must be present in the volume.
(2) Reconditioning air on site:
In these conditions, the electrochemical sensor of Cairsens will recondition in ambient air. This method requires much more time than
the last.
It is highly recommended to use the measures after a period of at least 24 hours (needed for optimal reconditioning).
7. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Use only accessories provided (specific USB cable, USB power adapter, record EU / US, USB dongle, filter ...).
Do not block the filter or the fan.
Do not hold it in the hands during measurements.
Do not use in dusty, corrosive, explosive environment.
Do not use in the presence of other gases (combustion gases, solvents, chlorine, acid fumes and basic ...).
Observe the operating conditions (see Specifications).
Due to the small size of some components, the Cairsens not suitable for children under 36 months.
8. MAINTENANCE CAIRSENS
To prevent a wrong timestamp (see Chapter 3)
oAvoid complete discharge
oRecharge regularly. Recommended every 24 hours (8 hours for the COVNM sensors.
To change the filter (recommended 2 times a year or if the filter, when present, is considered improper)
oInsert the red dongle.
oRemove the old filter by avoiding contact with the white central part.
oInsert the new filter by its edge by avoiding contact with the white central part.
oFollowing this change, 12 hours are needed to stabilize measurements.
Do not store it in a polluted atmosphere.
