Thank you for purchasing this portable
CO meter. The meter measures CO
2 2
level, air temp., dew point, wet bulb temp.
and humidity(DP, WB, RH are for models
7755/77535) and is an ideal instrument
for indoor air quality (IAQ) diagnosis.
Poor indoor air quality is considered
unhealthy because it causes tiredness,
loss of ability to concentrate, and even
illness(ex. Sick Building Syndrome). IAQ
monitoring and survey, especially on CO
2
level and air ventilation become widely
applied in public areas such as offices,
classrooms, factories, hospitals and
hotels. It is also suggested in regulations
of industrial hygiene in some countries.
(Appendix)
The portable CO meter uses NDIR (non-
2
dispersive infrared) technology to ensure
the reliability and long term stability. It’s
useful in verifying HVAC system perform-
ance and air ventilation control.

When an adaptor is used, it will
cut off the power supply from batteries.
The adaptor can’t be used as a battery
charger.

The meter features audible alarm to
give warnings when CO concentration
2
exceeds the limit. (See P1.0 in setup
for setting alarm threshold). It emits
beeps(Abt.80dB)when CO level goes
2
over the set value and stops when any
key (but ) was pressed or readings
fall below the set value. It beeps again
when value goes over the limit. Restart
the meter if beeper can't be stopped.

CO CALIBRATION

CAUTION:
Do not calibrate the meter in the air
with unknown CO concentration.

Otherwise, it will be calibrated as
400ppm by default and leads to
inaccurate measurements.

Fig. 14
NOTE:
Ensure the batteries are with full voltage
during the calibration to prevent from
interruption or failed calibration.
The manual calibration is suggested to
to be done in fresh outdoor air that is
well ventilated and in sunny weather.
Place the meter in the calibration site.
Turn on the meter and hold down
and simultaneously to enter CO
2
calibration mode (Fig.14). 400ppm and
“CAL” are blinking on the LCD while
performing calibration.
Wait about 5 minutes until the blinking
stops and the calibration is completed
automatically and back to normal mode.
To abort the calibration, turn off the
meter at any time.
The meter is calibrated at standard
400ppm CO concentration in factory.

It’s suggested to do manual calibration
regularly to maintain good accuracy.
Note:
When the accuracy becomes a concern
after a long time usage, return to dealers
for standard calibration.

The meter defaults to be calibrated the
humidity with 33% and 75% salt solution.
The ambient condition is recommended

to be at 25 C and stable humidity(better
to be close to the calibrating value). To
abort calibration, just turn off the meter.
