Installation
1. Mount your SPC-2 eye level 4 to 6 feet from any CO2 enrichment
equipment or bottled CO2. With adequate air circulation this location
should respond quickly and represent the average environment for your
area.
2. Plug the power cord into the CO2 outlet of your atmospheric controller or
desired electrical outlet (see diagram below).
3. Plug your CO2 generator or bottled CO2 solenoid into the SPC-2 outlet
using an extension cord if necessary.
4. Flip the power (red) switch to the 'ON' position. Allow a minimum of 1
minute of reading to stabilize.
Please Note:
The SPC-2 may take up to one minute to activate
after any adjustments, or after an exhaust function, or after being
defeated or turned .
**
Note
**:
You should see a lit decimal point in the bottom right
hand corner of the LED during any adjustments. 5-10 seconds after
adjustments are complete the SPC-2 will return to normal operating
mode and the decimal point will disappear.
Adjust Set Point
1. To select your desired set point value, hold both the
and
buttons
simultaneously for 5-7 seconds. The LED should read '
r.SEL
'.
2. Press either the
or
button once to display current set point value.
Use the
and
buttons to set your target (desired) CO2 concentration
(PPM). Maximum set point is 2000 PPM. See
**
Note
**
above.
Adjust Elevation
1. Press and hold the
button for 5-7 seconds. The LED should read '
ELE
'.
2. Using the
and
buttons, set the SPC-2 to your local elevation using
100 foot increments (0-10,000 ft). If your local elevation is above 10,000
ft, adjust SPC-2 to minimum elevation of 0. See
**
Note
**
above.
Adjust Calibration
Please note that this unit has been factory calibrated and inspected before
leaving the Green Air Products manufacturing facility. You do not need to
calibrate a new unit out of the box
unless the unit will operate above
10,000 ft.
Most units will not need to be recalibrated for about 4 or 5 years.
ONLY if you are located above 10,000 ft, will need to recalibrate before use.
1. If your SPC-2 does need calibration, adjust the set point to 0 PPM (see
'Adjust Set Point' above).
2. Take the unit outside and plug it into a standard 110 Volt power outlet.
3. Make sure the unit is in the 'ON' position and allow it to stabilize for 1-2
minutes.
4. Hold down the
button for about 5-7 seconds. The LED display should
read '
U.CAL
'. (To abort Calibration, turn the SPC-2 'OFF'.)
5. Press and hold both the
and
buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
The current CO2 value will be displayed.
6. Use the
and
buttons to adjust the PPM value to 350-450. After 5-10
seconds the unit will automatically return to normal enrichment mode.
7. Reset your desired 'Set Point' (See 'Adjust Set Point').
8. In some cases, the calibration may need to be repeated.
DO NOT BREATHE DIRECTLY ON THE SPC-2 DURING CALIBRATION
Display LED -
This display indicates real-time CO2 PPM concentration in
your controlled space or the adjustment in progress.
'
UP' Button -
This button is used to adjust the "set point" (desired CO2
PPM concentration), the elevation, and for calibration.
'
Down' Button -
This button is used to adjust the "set point" (desired
CO2 PPM concentration), the elevation, and for calibration.
'ACTIVE' Indicator Light -
The orange LED light is lit when the SPC-2
is active and CO2 enrichment is in progress.
'PHOTO SENSOR' -
This sensor deactivates the SPC-2 functions under
its control during periods of darkness.
'ON-OFF/RESET' Power Switch -
This switch will turn the power to
the SPC-2 "ON" or "OFF". The SPC-2 has a circuit breaker ON/OFF switch
in the event a surge, short or current overdraw occurs. Wait a couple
minutes and reset breaker switch.
Outlets -
Plug equipment to be operated into these two outlets. CO2
generator or emitter and air cooling duct fans.
Power Cord -
Plug the male end of this cord into a surge protector
plugged into a wall outlet or power strip.
This diagram demonstrates the optimum installation scenario for
coordinating CO2 enrichment with ventilation. CO2 is produced or
metered upon demand and defeated during exhaust cycles, or when
light is not available. Shown above is the IR-42 CO2 generator and
CT-DH-3 atmospheric controller.
