Operation

BATTERY INSTALLATION

The meter is powered by 4 AA batteries or a DC adaptor. Install the batteries into the rear battery

compartment observing correct polarity. When an adaptor is used, the batteries will be disconnected

from the meter. The adaptor cannot be used as a battery charger. When the battery voltage drops

below the required level, and “Lob” will appear on the display, a beeper sounds and readings

are no longer displayed. (Press any key but the

to stop the beeps). Replace the batteries to

resume normal operation.

You, as the end user, are legally bound (

EU Battery ordinance

) to return all used

batteries,

disposal in the household garbage is prohibited!

You can hand over your

used batteries / accumulators at collection points in your community or wherever batteries

/ accumulators are sold!

Disposal:

Follow the valid legal stipulations in respect of the disposal of the device at the

end of its lifecycle

POWER ON/OFF

Press to turn the meter on and off. At power up, the meter emits a short beep and performs a

30 second countdown for meter warm up. It then enters the normal operation mode with current

, temperature and humidity readings displayed.

TAKING MEASUREMENT

The meter starts measurements when powered on and updates readings every second. If the

operating environment changes (ex. from high to low temp.), it takes 30 seconds for CO

sensor to

respond and 30 minutes for RH.

NOTE: Do not hold the meter close to your mouth or any other source of CO

MIN,MAX,STEL,TWA

In the normal mode, press the Max/AV button to see the minimum, maximum, and weighted

average readings. With each press of the Max/AV button, the meter displays MIN, MAX, STEL,

TWA in sequence and then returns to the normal mode.

In MIN and MAX modes, the meter shows the minimum and maximum readings of CO2(main

display), AIR, DP or WB temperatures (lower left display) and Humidity (lower right display).

In STEL and TWA modes, the main display shows the weighted average of CO2 readings for the

past 15 minutes (STEL) or 8 hours (TWA). The lower displays are the current measurements

NOTE:

1. If the meter has been powered on for less than 15 minutes, the STEL value will be the

weighted average of readings taken since power on. As well, the TWA mode will display a

weighted average of readings prior to 8 hours of operation.

2. The CO250 takes at least 5 minutes to calculate STEL and TWA. The display shows “----”

during the first 5 minutes from power on.

3. The STEL and TWA values will keep updating every 5 minutes.

ALARM

The meter features an audible alarm to give warnings when CO2 concentration exceeds the set

limit. It emits beeps (Abt.80dB) when CO2 level goes over the set value and stops when any key

(except

) is pressed or the readings fall below the set value. It beeps again if the value

exceeds the limit. Restart the meter if the beeper will not stop.

AUTO POWER OFF

The meter turns off automatically after 20 minutes of inactivity. To override the function, press and

hold down the

and

HOLD

buttons until “

” appears in the display (approx. 2 seconds) while

turning on the meter on. NOTE: Auto sleep function will be disabled during calibration mode.

Calibration

CO2 CALIBRATION

The meter is calibrated to a standard 400ppm CO2 concentration at the factory

NOTE: When the accuracy becomes a concern or after a year of use, return to Extech for a

standard calibration.

CAUTION: Do not calibrate the meter in an atmosphere of unknown CO2 concentration.

1. Place the meter in the 400ppm calibration chamber. Turn the meter on

and hold down the CAL/Esc and MODE/ buttons simultaneously to

enter CO2 calibration mode. 400ppm and “CAL” will blink on the LCD

while performing calibration.

2. Wait about 5 minutes until the blinking stops. The calibration is then

completed and the meter automatically returns to the normal mode.

NOTE: Ensure the batteries are fresh prior to calibration to prevent an interruption or failed

calibration.

RH CALIBRATION

The meter is calibrated to a standard 33% and 75% salt solution bottle.

CAUTION: Do not calibrate the humidity without the default calibration salt. Otherwise, permanent

damage could occur. Contact the Extech for calibration salts or services.

33% calibration

1. Plug the sensor probe into 33% salt bottle.

2. In the normal mode, Press and Hold the CAL/Esc and DP/WBT/

buttons to enter the 33% calibration. “CAL” and calibrating value (32.7%

if at 25°C) will blink on the LCD with current temperature at the left.

3. The meter is now calibrating, and will finish in about 60 minutes when

“CAL” and humidity stop blinking.

75% calibration

1. After the 33% calibration, plug the sensor probe into a 75% salt bottle.

2. Press the MN/AV button to enter 75% calibration.

3. “CAL” and calibrating value (75.2% if at 25°C) will blink on the LCD

with current temperature at the left.

4. The meter is now calibrating. Wait about 60 minutes until the blinking

stops, then calibration is completed and the meter will return to normal mode.

NOTE: Single point calibrations are allowed. To calibrate 33% only, press CAL/Esc and exit when

33% calibration is completed. To calibrate 75% only, press MODE/ within the 5 minutes

while initializing 33% calibration.

PC CONNECTION

The meter is equipped with an RS-232 PC interface jack (3.5mm phono) for connection to a PC.

The supplied cable and WindowsTM compatible software allows the user to store readings in a text

file and display real-time measurements in a series of selectable formats. For more information or

specific operating instructions, refer to the User Guide included with the software.

Levels and Guidelines

Non-Enforced Reference levels:

250 - 350 ppm – background (normal) outdoor air level

350- 1,000 ppm - typical level found in occupied spaces with good air exchange.

1,000 – 2,000 ppm - level associated with complaints of drowsiness and poor air.

2,000 – 5,000 ppm – level associated with headaches, sleepiness, and stagnant, stale,

stuffy air. Poor concentration, loss of attention, increased heart rate and slight nausea may

also be present.

>5,000 ppm – Exposure may lead to serious oxygen deprivation resulting in permanent brain

damage, coma and even death.

Regulatory exposure limits:

ASHRAE Standard 62-1989: 1000ppm: CO

concentration in occupied building should not

exceed 1000ppm.

OSHA: 5000ppm: Time weighted average over five 8-hour work days should not exceed

5000ppm

Building bulletin 101 (Bb101): 1500ppm. UK standards for schools say that CO

at averaged

over the whole day(i.e. 9am to 3.30 pm) should not exceed 1500ppm.

Germany, Japan, Australia, UK...: 5000ppm, 8 hours weighted average in occupational

exposure limit is 5000ppm.
