CO2 AIR QUALITY MONITOR
User's manual
Please read the product instructions carefully before use. Please keep this leaflet in a safe place.
The Quaelis 14 CO2 meter (part number 11325) has been designed for indoor use only.
Carbon dioxide is anodourless and colourless gas from various sources (greenhouse gases, transport,fuel oil, heating,
etc.).
Carbon dioxide (CO2), which occurs naturally in the atmosphere, is a molecule produced by the human body during
respiration. Its concentration in the indoor air of buildings is related to human occupancy and air change, and is an
indicator of the level of air confinement. For this reason, the concentration of CO2 in indoor air is one of the criteria on
which the regulation of ventilation in buildings is based. Current regulatory or normative limitvalues usually vary between
1000 and 1500 ppm. They apply to school buildings, residential buildings and offices and have no significance for the
health quality of indoor air.

powered USB port (USB/ 230V adapter, computer...).
To turn on the meter: move the cursor (6) to the ON position. The display will light up quickly and beeps
will sound. The display then counts down for one minute to allow the unit to warm up and adjust. After
this time, all measurements are displayed.
Caution: Do not make any adjustments during the countdown. The meter makes a slight noise. This is
normal and is related to the ventilation of the sensors during use. The noise stops when the meter is
turned off.
While the battery is charging, the icon above the time indicates the battery charge progress bar and
then goes out when the battery is fully charged. The meter will run for approximately 5 hours when the
battery is fully charged (excluding USB connection). The battery charging time will vary depending on
the USB power mode used. We recommend leaving the meter connected to USB to allow continuous
measurements.
Caution: To recharge the battery, the meter must be plugged in and in the ON position. The battery
does not charge in the OFF position.
Step 2: Place the meter
It is recommended to place the meter in the living room, bedroom, meeting room, etc. on a piece of
furniture and to choose a location that allows the sensors (7) to remain unobstructed in order to ensure
proper operation of the device.
Ideally place the meter in the centre of the room and at least one metre away from the walls or ceiling
of the room. Keep away from any direct source of pollutants, liquid products, heat, flammable products
and magnetic fields.
Step 3: Adjustments and settings.
Press and hold the button (3) until the 12H or 24H time format flashes.
Select with the "+" and "-" buttons (5). Then press the button (3) briefly to confirm and move on to the
next setting.
The time flashes → select with keys (5) → press (3) to confirm.
The minutes flash → select with keys (5) → press (3) to confirm.
The alarm time flashes → select with keys (5) → press (3) to confirm.
The alarm minutes are flashing → select with keys (5) → press (3) to confirm.

Caution: If no button is pressed for 30 seconds during the settings, the meter exits the settings mode
and returns to the display screen. Resume settings.
When selecting the 12H format, the display shows AM or PM next to the time.
To activate/deactivate the alarm function: in normal display mode (excluding settings), press button
(3) briefly: the alarm time is displayed for a few seconds and the icon appears in the upper left-hand
corner above the time to confirm that the alarm is activated.
Press (3) again to deactivate the alarm clock: the icon is not displayed.
The alarm will sound for one minute. Press button (2) to enter snooze mode (alarm repeats every 5
minutes) or press any other button to stop the alarm.
Step 4: Display and CO2 recommendations.
As mentioned, carbon dioxide is an odorless and colorless gas from a variety of sources and current
regulatory or normative limit values usually vary between 1000 and 1500 ppm.
The risks vary depending on the exposure to CO2 :
- Light exposure: slight headache, nausea, fatigue...
- Medium exposure: stabbing headaches, drowsiness, confusion...
- Extreme exposure: loss of consciousness...
Thus, the comfort indices for CO2 are indicated according to the following measures:

Step 5: Customise the CO2 alarm.
The audible alarm is set by default to go off at 1000 ppm.
However, in order to adapt to different needs and regulations, the alarm triggering measure is
customisable. This does not change the measurement system.
In normal display mode, press and hold the "-" button (5) until the CO2 value flashes and
the icon appears.
Press the "+" and "-" buttons to increase or decrease the CO2 alarm threshold value. Press button (3)
to confirm and return to the display.
Caution: For safety reasons, the alarm threshold for the CO2 concentration level can only be set
between 500 ppm and 3000 ppm.
To activate the CO2 alarm function: in normal display mode (not including settings), press the "-"
button briefly and the icon will appear to the left of the CO2 measurement.
Do this again to deactivate the CO2 alarm.
When the set threshold is exceeded, the alarm sounds and the icon flashes.
Step 6: Display of the minimum and maximum values.
The Quaelis 14 meter displays the recorded minimum and maximum values for CO2, temperature and
humidity.
In normal display mode, press the "+" button on the knob (5) briefly → the MAX symbol (above the
temperature) is displayed as well as all the MAXI values → press "+" → MIN appears (above the
humidity) as well as all the MINI values → press "+" to return to normal display mode
While viewing the recorded minimum and maximum values, press and hold the "+" button (5) to reset.
The display shows "- - - -" to confirm.
Attention: When displaying the minimum and maximum values for CO2, the smiley face does not
appear. This is normal. The meter allows to save the minimum and maximum values for 24H and the
values will be automatically deleted and reset every day at 00:00.
Brightness adjustment :
The Quaelis meter allows you to adjust the brightness on 3 levels: press successively on the button (2)
to increase or decrease the brightness of the screen.
Low battery indicator: When the battery is low the icon flashes and the display shows “- - - -“
and the display brightness is automatically reduced.
Calibration function :
Sensors can wear out over time and depending on the level of pollution: measurements and accuracy
can drift. To avoid this problem and to ensure the accuracy of the measurements, the Quaelis 14 meter
has the ABC (Automatic Baseline Calibration) technology which ensures a regular automatic calibration
of the device.
Caution: The Quaelis 14 is equipped with ABC calibration technology which automatically ensures the
correct functioning of the device.
If the user wishes to perform a manual calibration, it is necessary to ensure that the meter is placed in
a 400 ppm outdoor environment to perform this process. To do this the meter must be in the ON position
and the battery must be fully charged. When not in setup, press and hold the "+" button (5), "CAL" will
flash. Press button (3) to start the manual calibration.
Calibration can take up to 30 minutes. Do not turn off the meter or press any buttons during calibration.
When calibration is complete, the display will return to the CO2 measurement.
