Important Safety Information!
The Scout is an instrument that measures the CO2
concentration in the ambient air. Through Bluetooth the
Scout sends the measurements to a smartphone with
the Scout App, enabling a person to know if it is safe or
not to enter a place that may contain high levels of CO2
(“Danger Zone”). The reading of the concentration is done
safely OUTSIDE the Danger Zone. Since a CO2 reading
normally takes at least 30 seconds to complete, and the
human body reacts in about 2 seconds, it is dangerous
to rely on a Scout mounted on your belt, or otherwise
carried on a person. Before conducting the actual Danger
Zone testing, always conduct a CO2 reading in fresh
outdoor air to ensure that the Scout is calibrated (see
Fresh Air Testing below).
When testing a Danger Zone, the Scout should be placed
into the LogiCO2®foam ball provided with the Scout
(below mentioned the “Foam Ball”) and rolled into
the Danger Zone, where the measurement is made
in accordance with these instructions. The value is
displayed on the phone outside the Danger Zone using
the LogiCO2-app.
The Scout does not have a digital display and does not
display the C02 levels. In case of an alarm the Scout units
red LED alarm indicators and an alarm sound will activate.
The app on the phone will also make an audiable alarm if
it is connected to the Scout unit.

Function
The Scout is a portable CO2 sensor with Bluetooth
communication. It works together with a smartphone app
called “LogiCO2-Scout” (iPhone or Android) (the “App”), in
which the current CO2 concentration is displayed on the
screen. The App enables fresh air calibration as well as
Time Weighted Average (“TWA”) measurement. It also
has a battery indicator and a graphical log.
The App displays the actual CO2 concentration. Depending
on the measured levels, the App will display a warning
and emit warning sounds. Charge the Scout with the
provided USB (USB to micro-USB) charging cable. The
Scout uses state-of-the art Non Dispersive IR technology
to measure the CO2 concentration.
Once started, the Scout will not turn of automatically. To
save battery time, turn it off by pushing the on/off button
(3 seconds).
The Scout can also be used as a work environment
sensor to measure the average CO2 levels over an 8
hour work day (“TWA monitoring”) in accordance with
the US Occupational Safety and Health Administrations
(“OSHA”) regulations.
In case of an alarm the Scout units red LED alarm
indicators and an alarm sound will activate. The app
on the phone will also make an audiable alarm if its
connected to the Scout unit.
!
WARNING! The Scout is used only to measure
CO2 in the ambient air. It is NOT designed to
detect smoke, fire, carbon monoxide, or any
other poisonous gas. If used for TWA measur-
ing purposes the Scout does NOT replace a
fixed mounted CO2 sensor.
First Start and Charging
First start: The Scout is delivered in “Deep- Sleep-
Mode*”. To start the Scout for the first time, shortly
connect it to a USB charger with the enclosed cable. The
App shows the battery charging status.
Charging: When charging the Scout, the LED flashes
quickly red and green. When the Scout is fully charged,
the LED turns green.
When starting the Scout; if the LED on the Scout lights
green followed by a short red blink and then goes dark,
the battery needs to be charged. Do not use the Scout
unless fully charged.
Low battery warning: Low battery status is indicated
with a blinking green LED and a beeping buzzer.
Charge only within 0-45°C / 32-113°F temperature.
*Deep-Sleep-Mode is a battery saving mode for long
time storage (more than 2 months). This mode prevents
the Scout from being unintentionally turned on. To enter
the Deep-Sleep-Mode, turn off the Scout by pressing and
holding the on/off-button until the LED flashes white
three times (approx. 6 seconds). In the Deep-Sleep-Mode
it is only possible to turn on the Scout by connecting it to
a USB charger.

Fresh Air Testing
!WARNING! Always conduct a fresh air test, and
calibrate the Scout if necessary, prior to each
actual Danger Zone testing.
Note: Normal fresh outdoor air has a CO2 concentration
of 0,03 to 0,05% (average 0,04%) depending on different
factors, such as: geographical location, time of season
and altitude.
Procedure:
1. Start the Scout outside. Choose a place with fresh
outdoor air protected from rain. Also avoid sources
of high CO2 concentration such as smoke from
fire, ventilation exhaust and crowded areas. Avoid
breathing on the Scout during the fresh air testing.
2. Connect the Scout with the smartphone and ensure
that there is a blue LED light.
3. Check that the app shows a reading for at least 2
minutes.
4. If a fresh air testing indicates CO2 levels between
0.03% and 0.05% proceed with CO2 Danger Zone
testing (See section How to Conduct a CO2 Danger
Zone Testing below).
5. If the Scout shows a CO2 value below 0,03% or higher
than 0,05%, you must calibrate the Scout. (See
Calibration section below)
Connection Trouble
If there are problems connecting the Scout to your
smartphone, turn the Scout off and on to clear its
“connection memory”. If there are still problems, turn
your smartphone off and on to reset its Bluetooth
communication function. NOTE! Only use the smartphone
App to connect to the Scout. Do not pair/connect via the
smartphones Bluetooth settings.

How to Conduct a CO2Danger Zone
Testing
1. Turn on the Scout and connect to a smartphone.
Double check that the LED light is blue.
2. Conduct a Fresh Air Testing, and calibrate the Scout if
testing indicates CO2 values less than 0.03% or above
0.05%.
3. Place the Scout unit into the silicone casing, then insert
the Scout into the Foam Ball’s hole and make sure that
it is in the middle of the ball so that it is protected from
all sides. Double check that the blue LED light is still on
by looking into one of the holes.
4. Ensure that the App shows reading.
5. Gently role the Foam Ball into the Danger Zone.
!
WARNING! Be sure to roll the Foam Ball along
the ground and do NOT toss it up in the air. (The
range between the Scout and the smartphone
can be up to 100 feet. The communication
distance can be less depending on structures
and other environmental conditions between
the Scout and the smartphone).
6. Check that there is a reading for at least 30 seconds to
ensure reading of CO2 level is completed.
7. In case of a Red High Alarm (Dangerous CO2 level
warning. CO2 levels at 3% or above): Do NOT enter the
Danger Zone. LEAVE THE AREA IMMEDIATELY and
call 911. Failure to do so can cause bodily harm and
death.
8. In case of a Pre-Alarm (CO2 levels at 1.5% or above):
Open doors and windows as much as possible. Call
service to locate the leak. A service technician should
only enter the Danger Zone under the supervision of
another person.

TWA (Time Weighted Average) Monitoring
It is unhealthy for humans to be exposed to more than
the Hygienic Limit Value of CO2 during an 8-hour working
day. The Hygienic Limit Value exposure of CO2 over 8
hours/day in the USA and most other countries is 0,5%
or 5000 ppm CO2. Time Weighted Average (TWA) is the
average concentration of CO2 over an 8-hour period.
The Scout can be used to measure TWA. When used
for this purpose, always conduct a Fresh Air Testing
as described above before use. If needed, calibrate the
Scout according to these instructions. Ensure that fixed
mounted CO2 sensors are installed in accordance with
safety regulations.
The Scout and the smartphone will emit warning sounds
when TWA exceeds 0,5% or 5000 ppm CO2 (“TWA-
Alarm”).
In case of a TWA-Alarm: Open doors and the windows
as much as possible. Find the source or the reason for
the high CO2 concentration. If not found, call service. A
service technician should only enter the Danger Zone
under the supervision of another person.
!
WARNING! If used for TWA measuring
purposes the Scout does NOT replace a fixed
mounted CO2 sensor.
