Calibrating

 

the

 

Logger

 

The

 

CO

2

 

sensor

 

in

 

the

 

logger

 

requires

 

altitude

 

compensation

 

and

 

regular

 

calibration

 

to

 

ensure

 

accurate

 

readings

 

are

 

being

 

taken

 

in

 

the

 

location

 

where

 

it

 

is

 

deployed.

 

Both

 

auto

 

and

 

manual

 

calibration

 

are

 

selected

 

by

 

default

 

when

 

first

 

configuring

 

the

 

logger.

 

Altitude

 

compensation

 

should

 

be

 

used

 

if

 

you

 

are

 

monitoring

 

CO

2

 

at

 

elevations

 

above

 

or

 

below

 

305

 

meters

 

(1,000

 

feet).

 

Some

 

CO

2

 

measurement

 

drift

 

may

 

occur

 

during

 

shipment

 

and

 

storage.

 

A

 

manual

 

calibration

 

immediately

 

after

 

logging

 

begins

 

is

 

recommended

 

for

 

best

 

accuracy.

 

Important:

 

If

 

performing

 

a

 

manual

 

calibration,

 

be

 

sure

 

to

 

follow

 

the

 

instructions

 

later

 

in

 

this

 

section.

 

Improper

 

manual

 

calibration

 

can

 

result

 

in

 

incorrect

 

sensor

 

readings.

 

The

 

following

 

CO

2

 

settings

 

are

 

available

 

in

 

both

 

the

 

app

 

and

 

HOBOware:

 

 

Manual

 

calibration.

 

Manual

 

calibration

 

is

 

the

 

best

 

way

 

to

 

calibrate

 

your

 

logger.

 

Use

 

this

 

option

 

if

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

manually

 

calibrate

 

the

 

logger

 

to

 

400

 

ppm

 

using

 

the

 

Calibrate

 

button

 

on

 

the

 

logger.

 

This

 

requires

 

taking

 

the

 

logger

 

outside

 

in

 

fresh

 

air

 

on

 

a

 

dry

 

day

 

or

 

to

 

an

 

indoor

 

location

 

that

 

is

 

unoccupied

 

and

 

has

 

no

 

connection

 

to

 

a

 

ventilation

 

system

 

for

 

five

 

minutes

 

on

 

a

 

regular

 

basis.

 

Press

 

the

 

Calibrate

 

button

 

on

 

the

 

logger

 

for

 

5

 

seconds

 

to

 

manually

 

calibrate

 

the

 

CO

sensor.

 

“Calibrate”

 

and

 

“CO
