Make sure power plug and Modbus cable are plugged in and secured before powering up the
device. Power connector will not make connection to GND if not fully plugged into the socket.
•
If sampling via tubing, make sure that the tubes are securely attached to the device before

•
Do not operate the device with an obstructed flow path. Obstruction during air sampling will
damage the internal micropump.
•
Do not expose this device to any liquids.
•
Sensors must not be exposed to temperature, humidity and pressure that are outside the
operating range. See sensor
•
Lifetime of up to 2 years for C2H4/O2 sensor and 5 years for CO2 sensor can be expected for
discontinuous sampling. Continuous exposure to relative humidity >90% or <15% and Volatile
Organic Compounds (VOCs) over a long period of time must be avoided. See
