Introduction
The TecPen Handheld MAP Sensor is designed to provide fast, accurate measurements
of gas concentrations in closed or pierce-able containers. It uses an optical gas sensor
with OLED display as well as USB connectivity. This makes it an excellent tool for:

Food packaging in protective gas atmosphere (MAP packaging)

Headspace of vials, cell breeding vessels, infusion containers, syringes

Micro-bioreactor systems

Operation
IMPORTANT! If the device is taken to a room with a significantly different ambient
temperature, an acclimatization period of 1-2 hours is required.
Before You Begin
The TecPen can be charged with any 5V USB cable and adapter. Full charging takes place in under 2
hours.
If the device is taken to a room with a significantly different ambient temperature, an acclimatization
period of 1-2 hours is required.
Before taking a measurement a filter should be attached to the TecPen to prevent contamination of
the gas chamber. To do this, place the tubing on the gas inlet’s male Luer lock fitting (8) and fasten
the filter to the other end. Attach the sampling needle to the front of the filter.
Note: All connections are made with Luer lock fittings. These must be securely engaged for proper
installation and seal.
Turning the TecPen On
Press the On/Off button to turn on the unit. The TecPen shows the battery status and a
value of 0.00%. This is a placeholder and not an actual measurement result.
1. After turning it on let the TecPen warm up for 2 minutes to insure accuracy.
2. The TecPen can only be switched on when it is not connected to the charging cable.
3. If no buttons are pressed within five minutes, the TecPen will switch itself off. The
unit can also be switched off by pressing the On/Off button for at least two seconds.
Taking a Measurement
The sampling needle is used to puncture the packaging to be measured. After inserting the sampling
needle briefly press the start button to to take a measurement. The pump will draw a sample
until it reads the lowest stable group of measurements. If it cannot read a stable measurement the
pump will automatically shut off after 10 seconds. To try another measurement press the start button
again.
Saving a Measurement
Press the Memory save button. The measured value currently on the display is saved in the
TecPen's internal memory.
Turning the TecPen Off
The unit can be switched off by pressing the On/Off button for at least two seconds.

7
Menu Display
In normal use the TecPen has 5 screens that can be viewed by pressing and
holding the MEMORY button. It is not possible to switch through the screens in
reverse order.
Note: Zero-point adjustment may only be carried out by the manufacturer service.

Saving Data
Default Operation
After each measurement is completed and the pump stops running, the currently displayed measured
value can be stored in the internal memory of the TecPen by briefly pressing the memory button.
By default, a new data file is created each day using the date as the file name and the measured oxygen
level and a time stamp as data.
Output Data File Format
The TecPen outputs a comma-delimited text file (.txt) with a header row that can be imported
into any spreadsheet program. The datafile format is as follows:
Data Label Example
Date 2019-03-15 (YYYY-MM-DD format)
Time 14:33:30 (hours:minutes:seconds 24 hr.
clock)
Product_Number 123456 (user defined)
Product_Name NAME56789ABCD (user defined)
Product_EAN 0123456789ABC (user defined)
Product_Oxygen_Value 0.53472 (range 0-5%)
Amplitude 14016 (signal strength for error checking)
Tau 64.610248 (signal life for error checking)
Temperature[°C] 25.187500 (Centigrade only)
Battery_Level[%] 86 (range 0-100%)
Device Status 0=Normal (see device status codes)
Exporting Saved Data Files
Data log files can be exported via USB:
Connect the TecPen to a PC using the supplied USB cable.
Press the On/Off button to turn on the unit.
Copy the files from the TecPen using your PC’s file manager.
Remove the TecPen USB device following the operating system instructions.
USB Data Safety
Before unplugging the USB cable, the TecPen MUST be ejected properly like any other standard USB device
to avoid damaging the TecPen’s internal file system.
If the TecPen is unplugged from the USB port without first selecting the “Safely Remove Hardware and Eject
Media” option, all data still on the device may be lost.

10
Customizing the Output Data File Format
The Product_Number, Product_Name and Product_EAN fields can be customized so that multiple Tec
Pens can be used and all will have different names in their data files. All TecPens can be further
customized by selecting different “recipes” from the menu depending on the job.
To get started, you need to modify a file named Rezepte.csv loaded on the TechPen’s internal
memory card. The file can be downloaded via USB, modified and uploaded, or you can create a new
Rezepte.csv file in any spreadsheet program that can save a .csv file. The required format is:
A
B C
1 100ABC Scanner1 12345
2 200DEF Scanner2 67890
The 3 alpha-numeric fields (do not use commas) in the table will replace the Product_Number,
Product_Name and Product_EAN fields in your output data files. By default, the first row will always
be loaded when the TecPen is turned on. If you want to select a different recipe, you must do so from
the menu options after you turn the TecPen on and before you start collecting data.
Calibration
The TecPen uses pure nitrogen gas for single-point calibration. To calibrate the TecPen, it
must be first be purged of any remaining gas from previous use by running the pump for
several seconds until the device is filled with pure nitrogen, then following the steps below:
1. Press and hold the start button and the memory button alternately untilthe pump
is activated.
2. A screen will appear with the text "Recalibration 0%?" followed by "NO".
3. Briefly press the start button to switch between "YES" and "NO".
4. If "NO" is selected, the operation is aborted by pressing and holding the memory key .
5. If "YES" is selected, let the unit calibrate for at least 5 minutes.
6. Press and hold the memory key to confirm.
IMPORTANT!
Calibration may only be carried out with class 5.0 or purer nitrogen or the quality
of the oxygen measurement results cannot be guaranteed.
After calibration the original calibration values are overwritten. If the calibration has
not been carried out correctly, the original factory values can only be restored by
co2metersupport.
While calibration can be carried out by the user, adjusting the zero-point may onlybe
carried out by co2meter Service.

11
Maintenance
Cleaning
The unit can be cleaned externally with isopropanol and a fine, soft cloth. Never immerse the
device in water or other liquids.
Do not clean the unit with ultrasonic cleaner.
Do not fill with solvents, alcohol, or cleaning agents, they may damage the device.
Battery
LiPo batteries are used for the TecPen. The duration per battery charge depends on how and under what
circumstances the devices are used. Charge the battery using the supplied USB cable. Once the battery is
fully charged, remove the battery from the charging cable.
Do not charge the battery longer than necessary (overnight). This may cause the charging capacity to
decrease more quickly, the battery to overheat or become defective.
Should the charging capacity decrease unusually quickly within one year or with a maximum of
300 charge cycles (whichever is reached first) due to a production error, please contact co2meter.
ISO Certification
The instrument must be returned annually to the manufacturer for recalibration in accordance with
ISO:9000 certification.
Device Status Codes
1. normal operation
2. UART buffer overrun
3. Temperature sensor error
4. Not specified
5. SD card does not recognize
IMPORTANT! If error codes 1, 2 or 4 appear, switch off the device, wait a few moments and then switch it
back on. If the same error message appears after switching it back on, contact the manufacturer immediately
If the TecPen displays one of the error codes above during operation turn off the device
and contact co2meter immediately.
