Thismetercanbepoweredbyfour(4)AAsizebatteries(notincluded)butsamplingunitscanalso
bepoweredbytheincluded6VDCinternationalwallpowersupply.TheseunitsshouldNOTbe
poweredusingtheincludedUSBcablesinceitsuppliesinconsistentvoltagetothemeter,which
degradessensoraccuracy.
Iftheunitisnotgoingtobeusedforanextendedperiodoftime,batteriesshouldberemovedto
preventdamageduetopotentialbatteryleakage.

Setup
Thesamplingmeterswillrequireminimalsetupsincetheyaredesignedtobeportable.Themost
importantaspectofthesetupinvolvesconnectingthesamplinghosesandensuringpropersetup.
TheInstrumentOverviewsectiononpage8showsthelabeledcomponentsofthesemeters,as
referencedthroughouttherestofthismanual.
Insertfour(4)AAsizebatteriesintotheseunitsorconnectthemtotheincludedpowersupply.All
modelshaveaninternalcoincellCR‐20323Vbatterybackupforthereal‐timeclock.Thisbatteryis
insertedinthefactoryforyourconvenienceandshouldlastthelifetimeoftheproduct.

Besidesincludingallthefeaturesofoursampledrawmodelabove,thismodelalsofeaturesan
internalmemorycapableofstoringdatawhennotconnectedtoacomputer.Thisunitwillallow
youtosimultaneouslyreadandstoreCO2/CH4concentrationlevelsdata.Duetothenatureoftheir
design,thisunitshouldbeconnectedtoyourcomputerfirst,beforeoperation,inordertoinitialize
andsettheloggingintervalandreal‐timeclock.
Inordertoinitializedataloggingfunctionality,theunitMUSTbeconnectedtothecomputerwith
dataloggingswitchedtoOFF,andtheGasLab®softwarestarted.Oncetheunithasbeenconnected,
clickonthe“ConfigureSensor”buttonintheGasLab®interface,setthedataloggingintervaland
pumpperiodsasdesired.Werecommendleavingthepumpintervaltothedefault5‐secondperiod.
Forthepumpperiod,werecommend5ormoreseconds.
ThepumpPWMperiodcanalsobeadjustedforadvancedapplications,with1beingfulldutycycle,
andvaluesapproaching255beingtheshortestdutycycle.Thepumpmodeshouldalwaysbesetto

Calibration
Thesemetersarefactory‐calibratedwithmultiplegasconcentrationreferencepointsandhave
beenverifiedtobeaccuratewithinitsspecificfunctionalitybeforeshipment.However,iftheyare
severelyjoltedorotherwisemechanicallydisturbed,theinternalsensorcandrift,requiring
recalibration.Allcalibrationproceduresfollowasingle‐pointcalibrationroutinethateffectively
