3.2.8 Calibration
3.2.8.1 CO2 factory calibration
Touch the menu item RESET CO2 To Factory Settings to calibrate the CO2 sensor to factory
settings. The meter must be placed in a well ventilated room or placed outside and run for 15
minutes.
3.2.8.2 Automatic calibration
The PCE-CMM 8 has an integrated self-correcting ABC algorithm (Automatic Baseline
Correction) forautomatic adjustment of the baseline value. This calibrationis carried out regularly
at intervals of 10-15 days.
For this, the PCE-CMM 8 requires a regular supply of fresh air. The measured value is
automatically adjusted.
The ABC function is permanently switched on (cannot be switched off) and adjusts the baseline
value at regular intervals when theCO2 level is low. Do not use this meter in a closed environment
where the CO2 concentration remains relatively high. This would negatively affect the self-
correction of the device. We therefore recommend performing the manual calibration (3.2.8.1)
weekly.
3.2.9 Offset settings
3.2.9.1 CO2 offset
Touch the menu item CO2 Sensor Calibration to set an offset for the CO2 reading.
3.2.9.2 Temperature offset
Touch the menu item Built In Sensor to set an offset for the temperature reading.
3.2.9.3 Humidity sensor offset
Touch the menu item Humidity Sensor to set an offset for the humidity value reading.
3.2.10 Selecting the time zone
Touch this menu item to set the time difference from GMT. Press the key to enable
synchronisation of the power on/off time with the internet time. To do this, the meter must be
successfully connected to the internet.
3.2.11 Daylight saving time
Touch the menu item to set the daylight saving time based on the location.
3.2.12 Home screen colour
In the menu item Home Screen Colour , select whether the background colour should be blue
or black.

Attention: All previously made settings are lost!
3.3 Measurement graph / data history
3.3.1 Graph
Touch the icon to view the measurement history of the last 7 days. Here, you can view the
course of CO2, temperature and humidity.
To view the details of a particular day, touch the corresponding area above the date. Touch the
icon to view the previous screen.
3.3.2 Save data history
Touch the icon to view the measurement history of the last 7 days. Then select the menu
item Data Log Table. In the next window, you can save the measurement data per hour in a file
on the device by selecting the Save to File item.
3.3.3 Read data history on the PC
Connect the meter to a PC using the USB cable. The CO2 meter is recognised as a mass storage
device. In the file DATALOG.TXT, you can view the previously saved measurement data.
3.4 Alarms
Touch the number in the top right corner to set the alarm values for High and Low. The CO2 meter
uses these values to change the colour of the digits for the measured value and an alarm tone
can be heard, if selected.
3.4.1 Set upper alarm (High)
As soon as “high” appears in the upper right corner, you can set the upper alarm value using the
+ and - buttons. This default setting for this alarm threshold is 1200 ppm.
3.4.2 Set lower alarm (Low)
As soon as “low” appears in the upper right corner, you can set the lower alarm value using the
+ and - buttons. This default setting for this alarm threshold is 800 ppm.
3.4.3 Temporarily deactivating the alarm tone
If the alarm sound has been enabled in the settings, it sounds as soon as the measured value
exceeds or falls below the upper/lower alarm value. However,you can also temporarily deactivate
it by touching the icon on the main screen.

reading changes, depending on the set alarm limit. The default limit values for changing colours
are as follows:
Air quality
CO2 content
Colour
Good
400 ... 800 ppm
Green
Ok

5 Disposal
For the disposal of batteries in the EU, the 2006/66/EC directive of the European Parliament
applies. Due to the contained pollutants, batteries must not be disposed of as household waste.
They must be given to collection points designed for that purpose.
In order to comply with the EU directive 2012/19/EU we take our devices back. We either re-use
them or give them to a recycling company which disposes of the devices in line with law.
For countries outside the EU, batteries and devices should be disposed of in accordance with
your local waste regulations.
