Operation
Power the meter
IMPORTANT: Power the meter in a room temperature environment
and in an area free of CO; otherwise the meter will read incorrectly
when subsequently measuring CO.
Press the
button to power on the meter. The LCD will switch ON
and display the programmed CO alarm limit in the primary display and
the ambient air temperature in the secondary display (as shown in the
LCD description section above). Replace the batteries if the display
does not switch ON.
The meter performs a 15-second self-test during which the displayed
values will blink. When the self-test is finished, the meter beeps and
enters the normal operating mode.
Measurements
The CO15 detects the existence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the
environment and displays the reading in parts per million (PPM) in the
primary display.
1.
To take a measurement, trace the CO15 around the area of the
suspected leak.
2.
The meter indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in
PPM in the primary display. The secondary display indicates the
maximum value since powered on.
3.
Long press the “backlight” button while in measurement mode
to reset the maximum value.
4.
When high CO levels are detected an audible beeper sounds at 25
ppm alerting the user to the dangerous CO levels. The higher the
concentration of CO, the faster the beeper will sound.
5.
To turn the meter off, press the
button. The meter powers off
after 15 minutes of inactivity.
