Operating Instructions
Using Your Air Quality Monitor
Understanding the Display
The 3.2" TFT color screen displays various parameters simultaneously.
This image provides a detailed view of the monitor's screen, illustrating how different particle sizes (0.3µm, 0.5µm, 1.0µm, 2.5µm, 5.0µm, 10µm), temperature, and humidity are displayed. The screen also shows the current date, time, and data record information.
Key Display Elements:
- Date & Time: Real-time display.
- Particulate Matter (PM): Readings for PM2.5 and PM10 concentrations (µg/m³). TC-8200 also shows individual particle counts for 0.3µm, 0.5µm, 1.0µm, 2.5µm, 5.0µm, and 10µm.
- Temperature: Current ambient temperature (°C or °F).
- Humidity: Current relative humidity (%).
- REC: Indicates the current data record group and interval.
Navigation and Settings
Use the directional buttons (up, down, left, right) and the "ENTER" button to navigate through menus and confirm selections.
Temperature Unit Switching
Press the "°C/°F" button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature units.
Data Record and Curve Graph
The device can store up to 999 groups of data records. To view historical data as a curve graph, press the "GRAPH" button.
This image shows the monitor's screen in graph mode, illustrating how historical PM2.5 data is presented as a curve over time, along with maximum, minimum, and current values.
PM2.5 Alarm Function
The device features a PM2.5 alarm. You can turn the alarm buzzer on or off and set the alarm threshold value. When the PM2.5 concentration exceeds the set value, the alarm will activate.
This image highlights the PM2.5 alarm feature, showing a visual alert on the screen when the particulate matter level exceeds a predefined limit.
Maintenance
Care and Storage
Cleaning
Gently wipe the device's exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the casing or screen. Ensure no liquids enter the sensor openings.
Battery
The device is equipped with a built-in 3.7V 2200mAh lithium battery. If battery replacement is ever necessary, the battery cover is designed for easy removal and installation. Use only compatible replacement batteries.
