Press

 

this

 

button

 

for

 

5

 

seconds

 

to

 

manually

 

calibrate

 

the

 

CO

2

 

sensor

 

(if

 

enabled).

 

“Calibrate”

 

and

 

“CO

will

 

blink

 

on

 

the

 

LCD

 

during

 

the

 

5

minute

 

manual

 

calibration

 

process.

 

 

 

 

 

These

 

symbols

 

show

 

the

 

maximum,

 

minimum,

 

average,

 

and

 

standard

 

deviation

 

values

 

most

 

recently

 

calculated

 

by

 

the

 

logger

 

(if

 

enabled).

 

Press

 

the

 

Next/Clear

 

button

 

for

 

1

 

second

 

to

 

cycle

 

through

 

the

 

available

 

statistics

 

and

 

then

 

back

 

to

 

the

 

current

 

sensor

 

reading

 

(or

 

to

 

the

 

alarm

 

value

 

if

 

applicable).

 

 

This

 

is

 

the

 

farthest

 

out

of

range

 

sample

 

displayed

 

during

 

the

 

logger

 

deployment.

 

Press

 

the

 

Clear/Next

 

button

 

to

 

view

 

this

Press

 

the

 

Clear/Next

 

button

 

again

 

to

 

cycle

 

through

 

any

 

statistics

 

(defined

 

above)

 

and

 

ultimately

 

back

 

to

 

the

 

current

 

sensor

 

reading.

 

 

This

 

is

 

an

 

example

 

of

 

a

 

CO

2

 

reading

 

in

 

parts

 

per

 

million.

 

If

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

powered

 

by

 

battery:

 

A

 

new

 

segment

 

appears

 

in

 

the

 

status

 

bar

 

every

 

15

 

seconds

 

to

 

indicate

 

how

 

long

 

until

 

the

 

display

 

will

 

be

 

updated.

 

In

 

this

 

example,

 

there

 

are

 

18

 

segments.

 

This

 

means

 

it

 

has

 

been

 

4

 

minutes

 

and

 

30

 

seconds

 

since

 

the

 

CO

2

 

reading

 

was

 

updated

 

on

 

the

 

LCD.

 

There

 

are

 

30

 

seconds

 

left

 

(two

 

segments)

 

before

 

the

 

reading

 

will

 

be

 

updated

 

on

 

the

 

LCD.

 

If

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

powered

 

by

 

USB

 

cable:

 

The

 

segmented

 

status

 

bar

 

is

 

not

 

displayed

 

and

 

the

 

current

 

reading

 

is

 

updated

 

every

 

second.

 

 

This

 

is

 

an

 

example

 

of

 

a

 

temperature

 

reading.

 

Temperature

 

units

 

are

 

determined

 

by

 

the

 

settings

 

in

 

the

 

software.

 

To

 

switch

 

between

 

Celsius

 

and

 

Fahrenheit,

 

change

 

the

 

units

 

in

 

the

 

software

 

and

 

then

 

reconfigure

 

the

 

logger.

 

Temperature

 

readings

 

are

 

updated

 

on

 

the

 

LCD

 

every

 

15

 

seconds

 

if

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

battery

powered

 

or

 

every

 

second

 

if

 

it

 

is

 

USB

powered

 

regardless

 

of

 

logging

 

interval.

 

 

This

 

is

 

an

 

example

 

of

 

an

 

RH

 

reading.

 

RH

 

readings

 

are

 

updated

 

on

 

the

 

LCD

 

every

 

15

 

seconds

 

if

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

battery

powered

 

or

 

every

 

second

 

if

 

it

 

is

 

USB

powered

 

regardless

 

of

 

logging

 

interval.

 

 

The

 

logger

 

has

 

been

 

configured

 

to

 

start

 

logging

 

on

 

a

 

particular

 

date/time.

 

The

 

display

 

will

 

count

 

down

 

in

 

days,

 

hours,

 

minutes,

 

and

 

seconds

 

until

 

logging

 

begins.

 

In

 

this

 

example,

 

5

 

minutes

 

and

 

38

 

seconds

 

remain

 

until

 

logging

 

will

 

begin.

 

 

The

 

configure

 

settings

 

are

 

being

 

loaded

 

onto

 

the

 

logger

 

from

 

the

 

software.

 

 

An

 

error

 

occurred

 

while

 

loading

 

the

 

configure

 

settings

 

onto

 

the

 

logger

 

from

 

the

 

software.

 

Try

 

reconfiguring

 

the

 

logger.

 

 

The

 

logger

 

has

 

been

 

stopped

 

with

 

the

 

software

 

or

 

because

 

the

 

memory

 

is

 

full.

 

Notes:

 

 

You

 

can

 

disable

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen

 

in

 

the

 

software.

 

When

 

the

 

LCD

 

is

 

turned

 

off

 

for

 

logging,

 

you

 

can

 

still

 

temporarily

 

view

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen

 

by

 

pushing

 

the

 

Start/Stop

 

or

 

Clear/Next

 

button.

 

The

 

LCD

 

will

 

then

 

remain

 

on

 

for

 

10

 

minutes.

 

 

When

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

computer

 

with

 

the

 

USB

 

cable,

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen

 

refreshes

 

every

 

second

 

regardless

 

of

 

logging

 

interval.

 

 

When

 

the

 

logger

 

has

 

stopped

 

logging,

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen

 

will

 

remain

 

on

 

with

 

“STOP”

 

displayed

 

until

 

the

 

logger

 

is

 

offloaded

 

(unless

 

the

 

LCD

 

screen

 

was

 

turned

 

off

 

in

 

the

 

software).

 

Once

 

the

 

logger

 

has

 

been

 

offloaded,

 

the

 

LCD

 

will

 

turn

 

off

 

automatically

 

after

 

2

 

hours.

 

 

The

 

LCD

 

screen

 

flashes

 

“HELLO”

 

when

 

you

 

page

 

the

 

logger

 

from

 

the

 

app

 

(see

 

Getting

 

Started

 

with

 

the

 

App

).

 

 

The

 

LCD

 

screen

 

flashes

 

“CHIRP

 

OFF”

 

when

 

an

 

audible

 

alarm

 

is

 

cleared.

 

Setting

 

up

 

the

 

Logger

 

Important:

 

The

 

CO

2

 

sensor

 

within

 

this

 

logger

 

can

 

experience

 

measurement

 

drift

 

during

 

storage

 

and

 

shipment.

 

It

 

is

 

strongly

 

recommended

 

that

 

a

 

manual

 

calibration

 

be

 

performed

 

prior

 

to

 

deploying

 

the

 

logger.

 

Start

 

the

 

logger

 

as

 

described

 

in

 

this

 

section

 

and

 

perform

 

a

 

manual

 

calibration.

 

See

 

Calibrating

 

the

 

Logger

 

for

 

more

 

details;

 

follow

 

the

 

manual

 

calibration

 

steps

 

in

 

that

 

section.

 

Improper

 

manual

 

calibration

 

can

 

cause

 

incorrect

 

sensor

 

readings.

 

Install

 

the

 

batteries

 

in

 

the

 

logger.

 

Use

 

a

 

Phillips

head

 

screwdriver

 

to

 

open

 

the

 

battery

 

cover

 

on

 

the

 

back

 

of

 

the

 

logger

 

and

 

insert

 

four

 

AA

 

batteries

 

observing

 

polarity

 

(see

 

Battery

 

Information

).

 

Screw

 

the

 

cover

 

back

 

in

 

place.

 

You

 

can

 

use

 

both

 

the

 

app

 

and

 

HOBOware

 

software

 

with

 

this

 

logger.

 

The

 

following

 

sections

 

provide

 

an

 

overview

 

for

 

using

 

the

 

logger

 

with

 

both

 

programs.

 

You

 

can

 

switch

 

back

 

and

 

forth

 

between

 

the

 

two

 

programs

 

(for

 

example,

 

configure

 

the

 

logger

 

in

 

HOBOware,

 

and

 

read

 

it

 

out

 

in

 

the

 

app).

 

However,

 

you

 

can

 

only

 

connect

 

to

 

one

 

program

 

at

 

a

 

time.

 

You

 

cannot

 

use

 

the

 

app

 

with

 

the

 

logger

 

while

 

it

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

HOBOware.

 

If

 

you

 

attempt

 

to

 

use

 

the

 

logger

 

in

 

HOBOware

 

while

 

it

 

is

 

connected

 

to

 

the

 

app,

 

the

 

device

 

will

 

not

 

be

 

found.

 

If

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

connect

 

to

 

the

 

app

 

after

 

using

 

the

 

logger

 

with

 

HOBOware,

 

you

 

will

 

need

 

to

 

disconnect

 

the

 

USB

 

cable

 

once

 

you

 

are

 

done

 

with

 

HOBOware.
