PRODUCT WARNING
GrayWolf Sensing Solutions' IAQ Surveyor instruments are
NOT suitable for use in flammable or potentially explosive
environments. They are NOT certified intrinsically safe. They are
also NOT intended for use in confined spaces where operator
safety might be at risk due to exposure levels, such as reduced
oxygen, during the course of the instrument survey.
WARRANTY
GrayWolf warrants each SURVEYOR instrument to be free from
any defects in workmanship, materials and components for one
year from the date of purchase. Any SURVEYOR instrument
found to be defective by GrayWolf within the warranty period
will be repaired (or replaced at GrayWolf's discretion), providing
that the product is returned, shipping prepaid, to GrayWolf or an
authorized GrayWolf distributor.
SURVEYOR instrument failure must not have occurred as a
result of operation of the instrument other than in accordance

1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The IAQ Surveyor Pro and IAQ Surveyor II (Figure 1) are two
instruments capable of measuring a variety of air parameters.
These parameters include airspeed, temperature, relative
humidity, CO, CO2, etc depending on the type of probe
connected to the instrument. It should be noted that certain
probes will only operate with the IAQ Surveyor Pro. Up to
four measured parameters are continuously displayed on
the instrument's large graphics display and these readings
may be stored internally. A maximum of 16 parameters are
available depending upon the type of probes fitted to the
instrument.
The instruments can be used for hand held walk through
surveys or set up to periodically log readings which can later
be downloaded to a PC for further analysis.
This manual covers both instruments and therefore some
features listed may not be available on the Surveyor II.

1.2 MAIN FEATURES
1.2.1 IAQ Surveyor Pro
a. Auto data logging with log download to PC.
b. Two smart probe sockets.
c. Supports all types of smart probe.
d. Supplied with 1260GSS IAQ Multi-parameter probe
as standard.
e. Built-in micromanometer and Type k thermocouple
socket.
f. Duct Averaging facility.
1.2.2 IAQ Surveyor II
a. Auto data logging with log download to PC.
b. Two smart probe sockets.
c. Supports all types of smart probe.
d. Supplied with 1260GSS IAQ Multi-parameter probe
as standard.
1. INTRODUCTION

19
MAN IAQ Surveyor Issue 11 2004
1.3 POWER SUPPLIES
Power supplies for the instruments may be:
a. Three alkaline dry cells.
Duracell MN1400 LR 14 types are recommended.
b. Three rechargeable cells.
Nickel Cadmium, Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) or
Lithium Ion (Li Ion).
Note: Alkaline dry cell batteries are used for battery life
indications these indications are not valid with any
other type of
battery.
Insert the three
batteries, positive
terminal first, into the
battery compartment
and securely tighten the battery end cap.
Rechargeable batteries must be removed from the instrument
and recharged externally using a proprietary battery charger.
Alternatively the instrument may be operated from an
external GrayWolf AC Adaptor operating from a 110/240 V
ac supply.
Note: When the adaptor is plugged into the instrument the
internal batteries are automatically disconnected.
There is therefore no need to remove the batteries
from the instrument when an ac adaptor is being
1. INTRODUCTION

used.
1.4 BATTERY LIFE
Approximately 30 hours: Using a1260GSS IAQ Multi-
parameter probe
Approximately 170 hours: Using a 2300AHTS Multi-
parameter probe (assumes zero
air speed)
1.5 PROBE CONNECTIONS
Both versions of the instrument may operate two smart
probes simultaneously. Probes are connected to sockets
located at the bottom of the instrument as shown below:
When connecting a probe ensure that the locating peg on
the probe plug is aligned with the corresponding slot in the
socket. Push the plug firmly into the socket and carefully
screw the plug collar into the security ring.
With the exception of the IAQ Surveyor II, an additional
external temperature measurement can be made using a
suitable thermocouple connected to the k type socket on the
top of the instrument.
Two ports on the top of the instrument allow the connection
of tubing for the measurement of differential pressure
(micromanometry).
Location of the Probe Connectors
Two 8 way connectors
suitable for all probes
