INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the SAN-10 Personal CO2 Monitor and Data Logger. It is
designed to alert employees who work in enclosed areas where carbon dioxide buildup may
cause personal harm. If CO2 buildup occurs, it will show the level on screen, flash, alarm and
vibrate. In addition the SAN-10 includes built-in data logging and a man-down alarm that uses
an accelerometer to set off the alarm if a sudden shock to the unit (like the wearer falling down)
occurs.
The SAN-10 uses a non-dispersive infrared CO2 sensor to provide long term stability. It is
shipped fully tested and calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.
FEATURES
•Audible, visual strobe and vibrating alarms
•Large LCD display
•Rugged design with protective rubber enclosure
•Heavy duty metal clip
•Front facing sensor unit
•Rechargeable Battery 4.2v, 1500mAh
•Micro USB cable and Wall USB charger
•Rechargeable Li-Ion battery – 20+ hours per charge
•Man down alarm - leveraging accelerometer technology
•Dual calibration methods: Ambient Air (300-600ppm) and Nitrogen (0-200ppm)
•Automatic atmospheric pressure compensation for CO2 concentrations
•No over-exposure or negative memory effects
•Stable NDIR sensor for CO2detection.
•CO2, and alarm!log data logging with time stamping
•Up to 149,500 time-stamped records in internal memory. Data can be exported via!

OPERATION
2.0 Power button
1.!When the Monitor isturned off, press the power button to turn on the unit.
2.!When the Monitor isturned on, press the power button for 3 seconds to turn off the
unit.
When the unit is first turned on, it performs 5 seconds countdown for Monitor warm up, then
enters normal display with current CO2 readings displayed. The monitor starts taking
measurements when power on and updates readings every 2seconds.

3.0 Alarm Threshold
The SAN-10 is equipped with audible, visual and vibration alarms to alert users when the
ambient oxygen concentration exceeds either of the two factory preset alarm levels:
•Danger High Alarm: LED will flash and audible alarm will sound 3x / sec.
•Warning Low Alarm: LED will flash and audible alarm will sound 2x / sec.

There are high and low alarm thresholds in the SAN-10. Both high and low alarms have
five thresholds: 5000ppm, 5000ppm TWA, 1.0%, 1.5%, 2.0%, 2.5%, 3.0%, 3.5% and
4.0%. Obviously, the high alarm threshold should not be less than the low threshold.
They can be the same alarm level.

Automatic Atmospheric Pressure Compensation
The CO2 measurement is affected by atmospheric pressure or altitude changing. When
users are at high altitude, compensation is made internally to ensure maximum monitor
accuracy.
This device has automatic atmospheric pressure compensation for CO2 concentrations by
means of a digital atmospheric pressure sensor integrated in the unit.
Man Down Alarm
Falling by breathing dangerous gases can cause serious injury and even fatality to workers.
If the Man downalarm function in SAN-10is set on, SAN-10 can detect falls and send a
man down alert which will activate the audible and visual alarms and alert other people in
the area.
The man-down detection uses a three-axis accelerometer to automatically monitor the user’s
movements in order to identify a sudden fall or impact and a lack of movement for a period of
6 seconds.
Once alerted, you can turn off the man-down alarm by pressing either of the two buttons.
Reset Button
Users can reset the unit by pushing a reset button through a hole on back of shell.
