1 Safety notes
Please read this manual carefully and completely before you use the device for the first time. The device
may only be used by qualified personnel and repaired by PCE Instruments personnel. PCE Instruments
cannot be held liable for any damage or injuries caused by non-observance of the manual.
The device must only be used as described in this instruction manual. If used otherwise, this can
cause dangerous situations for the user and damage to the meter.
The instrument may only be used if the environmental conditions (temperature, relative humidity,
…) are within the ranges stated in the technical specifications. Do not expose the device to
extreme temperatures, direct sunlight, extreme humidity or moisture.
When the air quality meter is exposed to extreme heat, fire and explosions as well as
deformations of the device are very likely.
Do not expose the CO
2
analyser to any impact, shocks or vibration.
The case should only be opened by qualified PCE Instruments personnel. Touching the electrical
conductor inside the instrument can cause electric shocks.
Never use the meter when your hands are wet.
You must not make any technical changes to the device.
The appliance should only be cleaned with a damp cloth. Use only pH-neutral cleaner, no
abrasives or solvents.
The device must only be used with accessories from PCE Instruments or equivalent. Using the
wrong mains adaptor can cause damage to the device as well as fatal injuries of the user.
The mains adaptor should be fixed tightly with the elastic plug lock, so that it can only be
removed using mechanical tools.
If you wish to connect a fan to the potential-free contacts of the sensor unit, make sure that the
fan has its own external power supply. Otherwise, the fan will not work. This can cause
dangerously high CO
2
concentrations in the monitored area.
Before each use, inspect the case for visible damage. If any damage is visible, do not use the
device.
Do not use the instrument in explosive atmospheres.
Pay special attention to the “ESC” indication in the display. If it appears, adopt protective
measures before entering the room where the sensor unit has been installed.
Check the cable connection between the sensor unit and the remote display unit thoroughly. The
cable is connected to the remote display unit’s input, coming from the sensor unit.
Communication between the sensor unit and the remote display unit should work flawlessly.
Therefore, you should use the “DIAG” function to test flawless communication.
The limit values for the measuring variables as stated in the specifications must under no
circumstances be exceeded.
Non-observance of the safety notes can lead to damage of the device or injuries of the user.
Moreover, observe the applicable national health and safety regulations and those set up by the
relevant trade associations in your country, as well as any relevant regulations for safe and
professional operation. Particularly, make sure to comply with your national accident prevention
regulations for the handling of gases.
