Srutueo S8601A 3-in-1 CO2 Meter Air Quality Monitor User Manual

1. Introduction

The Srutueo S8601A is a portable 3-in-1 air quality monitor designed to measure Carbon Dioxide (CO2) concentration, temperature, and humidity. This device utilizes NDIR (Non-Dispersive Infrared) technology for accurate CO2 detection. It is suitable for monitoring indoor air quality in various environments such as homes, offices, schools, and public places. This manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation of your device.

2. Safety Information

• Read all instructions carefully before using the device.
• Do not expose the device to extreme temperatures, humidity, or direct sunlight.
• Avoid dropping or subjecting the device to strong impacts.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the device. This will void the warranty and may cause damage.
• Keep the device away from water and other liquids.
• Use only specified batteries (AAA) for operation. Ensure correct polarity when inserting batteries.
• Dispose of used batteries according to local regulations.

3. Product Overview

The Srutueo S8601A features a clear digital display and intuitive buttons for easy operation. It provides real-time readings of CO2 levels, temperature, and relative humidity.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

• To power on, press and hold the Power Button (red button) for approximately 2 seconds. The device will perform a self-test and then display current readings.
• To power off, press and hold the Power Button again for approximately 2 seconds.

5.2 Taking Measurements

Once powered on, the device will automatically begin measuring CO2 concentration, temperature, and humidity. Allow a few minutes for the readings to stabilize, especially after initial power-on or moving to a new environment.

5.3 Interpreting CO2 Readings and Backlight Indicators

The device uses a color-coded backlight system to provide a quick visual indication of CO2 levels:

Figure 5.1: Examples of the three-color screen indicating different CO2 concentration ranges.

• Green Backlight: Indicates good air quality, typically below 1000 ppm CO2.
• Yellow Backlight: Indicates moderate air quality, typically between 1000-2000 ppm CO2. Ventilation is recommended.
• Red Backlight: Indicates poor air quality, typically above 2000 ppm CO2. Immediate ventilation is strongly recommended.

Note: Specific thresholds for color changes may vary slightly. Refer to local air quality guidelines for detailed recommendations.

5.4 HOLD Function

• Press the HOLD Button to freeze the current readings on the display. This is useful for recording specific measurements.
• Press the HOLD Button again to resume real-time measurements.

5.5 Temperature Unit Conversion

• Press the °C/°F Button to switch the temperature display between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).

5.6 Backlight Adjustment

• Press the Backlight Button (sun icon) to adjust the brightness of the display backlight. Repeated presses may cycle through different brightness levels or turn the backlight off/on.

5.7 Sound Alarm

• Press the Sound Button (speaker icon) to toggle the audible alarm on or off. The alarm will sound when CO2 levels exceed a preset threshold (if applicable).

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

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

6.2 Storage
