Quick Start Guide
1. Unpack monitor and check supplied components are correct
2. Insert Battery (see section 3.0)
3. Insert Sensor
4. When new, plug in the power adaptor and turn on your monitor
(with sensor head installed) for 24hrs. Note: The battery requires
15hrs from full discharge. The sensor requires a run in period.
Thereafter, the normal warm up takes only 10 minutes. If your unit
is new or unused for a long period, a warm up message may dis-
play for several hours, then will disappear.
5. Follow the operating instructions to understand how to make the
most of your monitor
Warning:
•Do not expose the monitor to gas concentrations above the recommended
maximum range
•Do not place the sensor head in a gas stream – the monitor is designed to
measure ambient levels of ozone and uses ‘active sampling’ to achieve this.

2.0 About Your Monitor
The Aeroqual Series 200 Monitor has been specifically designed to
incorporate Aeroqual’s in-depth knowledge of accurate ambient gas
measurement. Different sensor heads are used for specific gases or
depending upon whether high or low concentrations are to be meas-
ured. The all sensor heads are interchangeable on the same base unit.
The following information details the operation and features of the moni-
tor:
1. The monitor is modular in design and is comprised of two main
components, a Series 200 monitor and a sensor head. This affords
the user the ability to replace faulty sensor heads without having to
replace the monitor. The monitor can be mains and/or battery pow-
ered and either permanently mounted or used as a portable unit.
2. The Aeroqual Series 200 Monitor comes with in-built diagnostics,
which will inform the user if the sensor is not operating correctly.
3. An audible alarm is available with perchloroethylene sensors only.
Both temporary and permanent mute functions are also included
with the audible alarm.
4. Concentration unit selection. The concentration can be displayed
in either ppm or mg/m3.
5. Min / max / average measurement cycle. The monitor will display
the minimum, maximum, average and 15-minute average gas con-
centrations over the measurement period.

3.0 Assembly and Installation
Assembly
The following needs to be completed before the Monitor is ready
for use: -
•Insert the sensor head into the top of the monitor. The sen-
sor head is keyed to ensure the head is inserted correctly.
•If the monitor is a mains only unit it is ready for use. If the
monitor is to be used as a portable unit with batteries then
the batteries must be installed and charged prior to use.
3.1 Battery Pack
•Remove the battery cover from
the monitor.
•Insert the battery power connector
into the monitor power socket in
the back of the monitor.
•Lay the battery cable into the slot
on
the back of the monitor and insert
the tail end of the battery pack into
the hinge points at the bottom of
the monitor back cover.
•Clip the top end of the battery pack
into the top clips, taking note to
orientate the battery pack per the
instructions on the battery pack.
•Replace the battery cover on the
monitor.

Removing the Battery Pack
•Remove the battery cover from the monitor.
•Insert your thumb under the top left hand side of the battery
pack and carefully lever the battery pack out from the retain-
ing clips.
•Unclip the connector from the monitor.
•Replace the battery cover.
Rechargeable Batteries
The optional Ni-MH (Nickel Metal Hydride) battery pack is used to
power the monitor as a portable unit. Please read the following infor-
mation carefully before using the battery pack to operate the Aero-
qual monitor.
Safety
•Do not use the battery pack for any other purpose than oper-
ating the Aeroqual monitor
•Do not disassemble or mutilate the batteries as this may
cause burns
•Do not incinerate or heat as this may cause burns, the batter-
ies may burst or cause the release of toxic materials
•Do not short circuit as this may cause burns
•Use only batteries approved by Aeroqual and recharge your
battery only with the AC/DC adaptors supplied by Aeroqual.
•Never use any charger or battery that is damaged or worn
out.
•Batteries must be recycled or disposed of properly. They
must not be disposed of in municipal waste.
•Never charge a Ni-MH in a hermitically sealed container.
Using the battery pack
The life of the battery pack will be affected by the way it is handled.
Take good care of the battery pack and follow the guidelines sug-
gested in the following section.

Charging and Discharging the Batteries
New Ni-MH batteries must be fully charged prior to use. A new Ni-
MH battery's full performance is achieved only after a number of
complete charge and discharge cycles. A fully charged battery will
run for approximately 4-5 hours. (Note: Perc sensor heads require
more power and will run for a shorter time)
Charging Instructions
1) Plug in the adaptor
2) Turn the monitor on
3) Allow 15 hours for the battery to fully charge.
Note:
•During charging the battery symbol on the display flashes
slowly.
•The battery can be charged with the sensor head installed or
removed from the base. (Remember to switch off the monitor
before removing the sensor head).
•Unplugging the main power will reset the above charging condi-
tions.
•The batteries can be charged and discharged many times but
will eventually wear out. When the operating time is noticeably
shorter than normal, it is time to replace the batteries.
•It is not necessary to fully discharge the batteries. When not
using the Series 200 Monitor as a portable unit, always plug in
the mains adaptor to recharge the batteries with the monitor
switched on.
•If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over
time.
Note:
If you have difficulty charging the battery, either:
A) Replace the battery
B) Contact Aeroqual with the software version number
(see section 3.3 to locate the version number.)

Installing the AC/DC adaptor
•Connect the AC/DC adaptor to the mains supply. Ensure that
the adaptor is correctly rated for the power supply.
•Plug the adaptor into the monitor. The monitor can now be
used as a mains unit. If the monitor is to be used as a port-
able unit the batteries will need to be charged.
3.2 Sensor warm up
Prior to operation the monitor must be warmed up to burn off
contaminants on the sensor. When the monitor is first switched
on it will warm up for 3 minutes. Then the reading will flash for
the next 7 minutes to indicate that the sensor is still in the warm
up phase. It is recommended that the monitor is kept in Stand By
mode when not being used to keep the sensor heated and
prevent the build up of contaminants. If the sensor is new (or
unused for long periods) it can take up to 24 hours for the
message “sensor warming up” (or “sensor failure” in older
models) to disappear. Should the message remain after this time,
agenuine sensor failure may have occurred. See the trouble-
shooting guide.
Since O3 is an oxidising gas the warm up period can be reduced
by subjecting the sensor to elevated O3 levels for a short period.
For example, 100 ppb of O3 for 5 minutes typically reduces the
warm up time to 30 minutes.
24hrs is a conservative time for an ozone sensor to burn off con-
taminants and achieve its stated performance specification. In
most instances this will be achieved well within 24hrs.
Warning: Do not remove the sensor head while the monitor
is switched on. This may damage the unit. If the sensor head is
removed under these conditions, the unit will automatically shut
down.
3.3 Monitor and Sensor Versions
Turning the monitor on will display “AEROQUAL MONITOR
Vx.x”, where "V x.x" represents the version of the monitor
base. The display will then show “SVXX”which indicates the soft-
ware version installed on the sensor head.
