2.4 Intended use
The product is designed exclusively for measurements in ambient air and environ-
ments with slightly elevated CO2concentrations in areas that are not harmful to the
health. It is designed to be carried on the body for mobile use. The user can be
warned optically and acoustically of elevated CO2concentrations based on variable
alarm limits. Example applications for this are:
–Use as a monitor for recording of the mean value weighted over 8 hours (TWA) or
15 minutes (STEL).
–Monitoring of air quality.
2.5 Qualified personnel
For commissioning, operation and maintenance, the relevant personnel must have
adequate knowledge of the measuring process and the significance of the measure-
ments. This document makes a valuable contribution to this. The instructions in this
document must be understood, observed and followed.
In order to avoid any risks arising from interpretation of the measurements in the con-
crete application, the user must have additional expertise. The user is solely liable for
damages/danger resulting from misinterpretation due to inadequate expertise.

5.1 Commissioning
5.1.1 Explanation
The product is switched on with the On/Off button. It may be necessary to configure
the product after switching on. See Configuration [12].
A self-test is conducted after switching on. The following increasing CO2values 1000,
2000, 4000 and 8000 are shown in the display. TEST is shown in the secondary display.
If an alarm is active and is in one of these relevant areas, it is triggered.
If ---- appears in the display after the self-test, the sensor is not ready for measure-
ment.
If batteries are drained and the product is not used for an extended time, it can take up
to 30 seconds until the measurement starts. If no measurement is received by the
sensor within 30 seconds, the product issues an alarm.
–The rechargeable batteries have been charged via the micro USB socket.
–Press the On/Off button.
Information about the configuration of the product appears in the display.

6 Measurement Basics
6.1 NDIR CO2sensor
6.1.1 Explanation
The sensors are based on non-dispersive infrared sensor technology, NDIR. This is
the most widely used sensor technology for CO2measurement.
The principle of the NDIR sensor is that an IR light source is focusses so that an opti-
cal beam is created, which passes through the existing gas, including CO2. After an
optical band pass filter is passed, an IR sensor measures the level of IR light, wherein
the CO2values in the optical path are displayed.
6.1.2 Design
1. Gas inlet
2. Gas outlet
3. IR lamp
4. Optical filter
5. Thermopile detector
IR detectors
A sensor module with single-channel detectors is used for the product.
A micro light bulb is used as an IR radiation source. It emits a broadband spectrum.
The sensor is long-lasting and maintenance-free. In order to be able to maintain the
specified accuracy for many years to come, regular adjustment must be carried out
depending on the required accuracy.

7 Operation and maintenance
7.1 Operating and maintenance notices
CAUTION
Damage to the sensor
A sensitive optical sensor is installed in the product. The sensor parameters can
change due to impact or falling. This can result in incorrect measurements.
–Protect the product from impact and falling!
–The measurements must be checked after the product falls or is jarred. If the val-
ues deviate, a basic sensor adjustment must be carried out!
NOTE
The product must be handled with care and used in accordance with the technical
data. Do not throw or strike.
NOTE
If the product is stored at a temperature above 50 °C, or is not used for an extended
period of time, the batteries must be removed or recharged regularly. This prevents
leaks from the rechargeable batteries and increases the life of the rechargeable bat-
teries.
7.2 Battery
7.2.1 Charge status display
If the battery status display blinks, the batteries are depleted and must be recharged.
However, the device will still operate for a certain length of time.
If the BAT display text appears in the main display, the rechargeable battery voltage is
no longer adequate for operation of the product. Now the rechargeable battery is fully
depleted.
7.2.2 Charging the batteries
–Charge via Micro USB socket with the accompanying cable.
–Must be operated on a USB port or USB mains adapter with an output voltage of
4.75 V .. 5.25 V, which can deliver a current of 500 mA.
–The charging process is visualised in the charge status display.
–If the charging process has concluded BAT FVLL is shown in the display.
–Charging at room temperature in a range of 0 .. 40 °C is permitted.
–The device can heat up during charging. Max. up to 50 °C.
–Charging time approx. 8 hours.
–The charging time can take longer in ambient temperatures above 30 °C.
–The rechargeable battery temperature is monitored. At temperatures below 0 °C
and above 50 °C, the charging is interrupted.

20 / 30
B-H90.0.01.DB2-2.1
7 | Operation and maintenance
G 1910-02
–In order to protect the batteries, the charging process is not started when the
charge cable is plugged in, if fully charged batteries are detected based on the
voltage monitor.
7.2.3 Rechargeable battery replacement
DANGER
Danger of explosion!
Using damaged or unsuitable rechargeable batteries can generate heat, which can
cause the rechargeable batteries to crack and possibly explode!
–Only use high-quality and suitable NiMH rechargeable batteries!
CAUTION
Damage!
If the rechargeable batteries have different charge levels, leaks and thus damage to
the product can occur.
–Use new, high-quality rechargeable batteries!
–Do not use different types of rechargeable batteries!
–Remove depleted rechargeable batteries and dispose of them at a suitable collec-
tion point!
NOTE
Read the following handling instructions before replacing rechargeable batteries and
follow them step by step. If disregarded, the product could be damaged or the protec-
tion from moisture could be diminished.
Proceed as follows to replace the rechargeable batteries.
–The product is switched off.
Fig. 1: Batteriewechsel
1. Unscrews the Phillips screws (A)and
remove the cover.
2. Carefully replace the two Mignon AA
batteries (B). Ensure that the polarity
is correct! It must be possible to insert
the batteries in the correct position
without using force.
3. The O-ring (C) must be undamaged,
clean and positioned at the intended
depth. In order to facilitate assembly
and avoid damage, a suitable grease
can be applied.
4. Fit the cover on evenly. The O-ring
must remain at the intended depth!
5. Tighten the Phillips screws (A).
The product is now ready for use again.
