using approximately the specified step size. Make sure the CO
2
knob is turned all the way counter-
clockwise. Only the CI-510AD ordered with the CI-340 can be automatically controlled by the CI-
340 to generate the CO
2
response curve.
The response curve of photosynthesis vs. air temperature can be seen by pressing “T” (shift, shift, 7)
when measuring photosynthesis. The instrument will ask for the number of steps for the temperature
response curve, and then will direct the CI-510CS (CI-301CS) Temperature Controller to start at a
low temperature and increase the air temperature in the leaf chamber to a high temperature in that
number of steps. Make sure the temperature control knob is turned all the way counterclockwise.
Only the CI-510CS ordered with the CI-340 can be automatically controlled by the CI-340 to
generate the temperature response curve.
Pressing “EXIT” while in the graph mode can stop the response curve. This will return the display to
the alpha/numeric mode and stop any further changes to the controlled parameters. It will also erase
the graph.

CARE OF THE CI-340
This instrument is designed for portable or stationary use. Whether it is used in the field or on a
tripod, the CI-340 is versatile and lightweight, as well as accurate and user-friendly. The
manufacturer would like to give you a few suggestions to help you take care of your instrument.
•
Although the instrument can operate while in motion, avoid any unnecessary movement, and
avoid subjecting the instrument to drastic shock. Due to the lightweight design, the CI-340
represents features that are sensitive to the given precautions.
•
Do not allow water or excessive moisture to get into the instrument. The CI-340 can measure air
with high humidity, but it is highly recommended to avoid such circumstances. In addition, if
used in the field environment, please avoid extremely dusty conditions.
Always
use the external
filter provided.
•
Operate the instrument using ideal temperature settings. Manufacturer testing shows that
operating the CI-340 under extreme temperatures (below 5°C or above 45°C) will affect its
performance.
•
When not in use, store the instrument in a cool and dry location. Preferably, place the CI-340
back in the carrying case in an ambient or reasonably cool room.
