the

 

Meter

 

This meter can be powered by four (4) AA size batteries (not included) but sampling units can also be powered by 
the included 6VDC international wall power supply. These units should NOT be powered using the included USB 
cable since it supplies inconsistent voltage to the meter, which degrades sensor accuracy. 

If the unit is not going to be used for an extended period of time, batteries should be removed to prevent damage 
due to potential battery leakage. 

The power switch 

 on the left side of the meter turns the unit ON/OFF. The LOG switch on the right side of the 

meter enables/disables data logging and pump function.

Overview

 

This portable battery‐powered CO2Meter, Inc. meter is designed to measure carbon dioxide (CO2) in real time in 
inaccessible areas for applications such as, but not limited to fermentation vats & barrels, biological incubators, 
and CO2 leak detection. 

Meters with logging capabilities are designed to record CO2 concentration level data over periods of time. It stores 
up to 15,000 collected data points to its internal memory to be retrieved at a later time for analysis. When 
combined with our GasLab

®

 software, you can also see real‐time data on your computer’s screen. These meters are 

ideal for applications such as, but not limited to CO2 monitoring of products with modified atmosphere packaging 
(MAP), monitoring of mold production in areas used to store grains, and testing of fire suppression systems. 

Its built‐in 1,000 hours sampling micro‐pump (10,000 Hr. optional) ensures reliable operation for persistent 
readings based on user‐selected time intervals.  

Scientific devices such as this sampling meter require users to have intimate knowledge of the meter’s features, 
limitations, operation, required software, and specifications prior to use. CO2Meter, Inc. highly recommends 
reading this user’s manual before operating this meter, especially the
