Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of this Extech Meter. The Carbon Dioxide (CO2) Monitor is designed for air
quality control and health control by measuring Carbon Dioxide level in areas where CO2could be a concern.
The measured CO2value in ppm (parts per million), Temperature, Humidity and Time will be displayed on the
LCD along with three CO2status indications: Good (0 to 800ppm), Normal (800 to1200ppm), Poor (>1200ppm).
An acoustic alarm sounds when the CO2level exceeds a defined level. This meter is shipped fully tested and
calibrated and, with proper use, will provide years of reliable service.

ABC (Automatic Baseline Calibration)
ABC (Automatic Baseline Calibration) establishes a baseline calibration to eliminate the zero drift of
the infrared sensor. The ABC function is always   ON when the meter is turned on. ABC is designed
to calibrate the meter at the minimum CO2 reading detected during 7 days of continuous
monitoring (power on). It assumes that the area being tested receives fresh air with a CO2 level of
approximately 400ppm at some period of time during the seven days. It is not suitable to use a
desktop CO2 meter in closed areas with consistently high CO2 levels, 24 hours a day.
Maintenance
1. The meter should be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent when necessary. Do not use solvents
or abrasives.
2. Store the meter in an area with moderate temperature and humidity.
