6.3 Understanding Air Quality Indicators

6.4 Setting Alarm Thresholds

The device allows you to set a custom CO2 alarm threshold. When the CO2 level exceeds this threshold, an audible alarm will sound, and the display indicator will change.

1. Press the "SET" button (refer to device diagram for button location).
2. Use the "UP" and "DOWN" buttons to navigate to the alarm setting option.
3. Press "SET" again to enter the alarm value adjustment mode.
4. Use "UP" and "DOWN" to adjust the desired CO2 alarm threshold (e.g., 1000 PPM).
5. Press "SET" to confirm and exit.

6.5 Viewing MIN/MAX Values

To view the minimum and maximum recorded values for CO2, temperature, and humidity:

• Press the "MIN/MAX" button (refer to device diagram).
• Each press will cycle through MIN CO2, MAX CO2, MIN Temp, MAX Temp, MIN Humidity, MAX Humidity.
• The values will reset automatically after a certain period or can be manually reset (refer to device specific instructions if available).

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning

• Wipe the device with a soft, dry cloth.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals.
• Ensure no liquid enters the device openings.

7.2 Calibration

The NDIR CO2 sensor is generally self-calibrating. However, if you suspect inaccurate readings, a manual calibration might be possible. Refer to the device's specific menu options for calibration procedures. Typically, this involves placing the device in a well-ventilated outdoor area for a period to allow it to read ambient CO2 levels (around 400-450 PPM).

7.3 Battery Care

• Recharge the battery when the low battery indicator appears.
• Avoid completely draining the battery frequently to prolong its lifespan.
• If storing the device for an extended period, charge it to about 50% and recharge every few months.
