4. MEASURING PROCEDURE
4-1 CO measurement
1)Power on the meter by pressing the " Power Button "
( 3-2, Fig. 1 ) once,
* Press the " Power Button " once again will power
off.
2)Locate the " CO sensing head " ( 3-1, Fig. 1 )
to the position that intend to make the measurement.
The upper Display ( 3-5, Fig. 1) will show the CO
value in the unit of " PPM ". The lower Display ( 3-5,
Fig. 1) will show the Temperature ( Air Temp. ) value
in the unit of " " or " ".℃℉
4-2 Data hold
1)During the measurement, press the " Hold Button "
( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) momentarily to hold the measured
value. The LCD will show a " HOLD " symbol.
2)Press the" Hold Button " once again to release the
data hold function.
4-3 CO Alarm setting
Press the " Alarm Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) once in sequence
will present the Alarm setting value on the Display. Until
the desired Alarm value show on the Display, release the
" Alarm Button ", wait one second the Display will return to
normal screen. If the measurement CO value > Alarm
setting value, the Beeper will sound continuously.
* The Alarm setting value are :
25 PPM, 50 PPM 100 PPM, 200 PPM, 300 PPM, 400 PPM
500 PPM and OFF.
* If set the Alarm setting value to " OFF ", the Alarm
function will switch to " OFF " ( disable ).

4-4 Auto power off
In order to prolong the battery life, the instrument
has "Auto Power Off " function. The meter will
switch off automatically if no buttons are pressed
for around 10 minutes.
4-5 Set the Temp. unit ( , ) with default℃℉
1)Power OFF the meter.
2)Press the " Hold Button " ( 3-3, Fig. 1 ) continuously,
use another finger power ON the meter ( press the "
Power Button " once ), until the Temp. unit ( or )℃℉
is presented on the Display then release the " Hold
Button ", the Temp. unit will change From to ( or℃℉
to ) with default.℉℃
4-6 Zero adjustment
Put the meter into the clean air environment ( not
contain any CO value ), power on the meter by
pressing the " Power Button " ( 3-2, Fig. 1 ), wait
about 30 seconds to warm up the meter.
If the display not show " Zero " CO value, then pressing
" Alarm Button " ( 3-4, Fig. 1 ) continuously at
least five seconds will offset the display value and
show " 0 PPM ".
* The zero adjustment procedures are effected only
existing Display value is within 10 PPM.

5. BATTERY REPLACEMENT
1)Replace the batteries when the left corner of the LCD
displays the low battery icon " ".
2)Prepare 4 fresh 1.5 V ( UM4, AAA ) batteries.
3)To change the batteries, open ( rotate clockwise direction )
the " Battery Cover " ( 3-6, Fig. 1 ).
4)Make sure the " Battery cover " (3-6, Fig 1) is secured
after changing the batteries.
