CO2-O2 Measurement process
LEO allows measurement of the CO2 and O2 concentration in two different modes:
•
Diffusion Mode
,
without pump running. Use Diffusion Mode when the sampling gas has an
overpressure higher than 10 mbarg (0.145 psig).
Note
►
Do not exceed 300 mbar (4 psig) upstream of LEO
Note
►
LEO can operate at minimum flow rate of 30 ml/min and at maximum flow rate of 400 ml/min.
Tip
►
The optimal flow rate of the sampling gas is 150 ml/min.
•
Aspiration Mode
,
with pump running. Use Aspiration Mode when the sampling gas is at
atmospheric pressure.
Tip
►
The default value of the gas flow rate sucked by LEO is 150 ml/min. To change this value, see
paragraph 9.3.3.
To start a gas measurement process, press the
ON/OFF
button and wait until the
Warming up time
ends.
It will take 15 minutes for CO2-O2-MODULE to achieve stability. During this time, the message
“LEO is wa
rming
up”
appears (1 in Figure 45).

CO2 and O2 gas concentration measurement in Diffusion Mode cannot occur
simultaneously with a CO2
