If necessary press the UP and DOWN ARROW buttons to adjust the cal point to the value on the bottle of span gas Let the readings stabilize about 5 minutes and then press the RECORD button A 15 second countdown timer will be displayed while the span calibration is performed Continue to watch the readings If the CO2 value does not stay at the span gas concentration level press the RECORD button again to span the sensor again If necessary this can be repeated until the CO2 reading is consistently at the correct value Press the ON OFF button The IAQ Monitor will display the following screen Press the ON Off button to return to the Main Screen Turn off the valve on the regulator and disconnect the span gas Chapter 4 Detailed Operating Instructions NOTE The regulators used for calibration must have a flow rate of 1 liter per minute Toxic Gas Sensors The gas channel will accept any of Quest Technologies 2070 series toxic gas sensors We currently offer sensors for ten different gas types Carbon Monoxide CO Hydrogen Sulphide H2S Sulfur Dioxide S02 Chlorine Clz Nitrogen Dioxide NO2 Nitric Oxide NO Hydrogen Cyanide HCN Ammonia NH3 Oxygen O2 Oe Oe These sensors are based on well established electrochemical sensor technology They are designed to be maintenance free and stable for long periods of use The following table illustrates the cross sensitivity to a range of commonly encount
5. The CO sensor is an infrared sensor that requires air to be drawn through it to produce a quick and accurate measurement of the level of COz in the air The IAQ Monitor s built in sample pump assures that air is drawn across the sensors The CQOz sensor should be calibrated regularly to assure accurate readings The humidity sensor incorporates a capacitive sensor with a monolithic CMOS circuit for a high reliability linear response The temperature sensor is a bead type thermistor with a fast response to ambient temperatures Both the temperature and humidity sensors are calibrated at Quest Technologies factory and cannot be calibrated in the field We recommend you return the AQ Monitor to Quest Technologies factory for yearly calibration Calibrating the CO2 Sensor Calibrating the COz sensor requires calibration gas a regulator with a 1 liter per minute flow rate and tubing We recommend using nitrogen N2 gas for the zero calibration IMPORTANT Since the range of the CO sensor is programmed using QuestSuite 0 5 000 ppm or 0 20 000 ppm care must be taken when choosing a span calibration gas The span calibration gas should be a sizable fraction of the selected full scale range If the span calibration is performed using a low concentration span gas i e 1 000 ppm and then the CO sensor is exposed to a large concentration of CO i e 15 000 ppm the CO2 readings displayed may exceed the accuracy specification
6. Replace the toxic sensor cap turning it until it is securely attached 5 Turn on the IAQ Monitor so the sensor can be identified To remove the sensor turn the IAQ Monitor off unscrew the toxic sensor cap and then pull the sensor straight out Calibrating A Gas Sensor For best results we recommend calibration on a regular basis Items necessary for proper calibration are the 2099 8020 calibration adaptor the appropriate calibration gas for the sensor and a 1 liter per minute flow regulator Part AG1005 You will need to perform BOTH the zero and the span adjustment procedures to properly calibrate your sensor IMPORTANT The zero and span adjustment procedures for oxygen are different than those for toxic gases Be sure to follow the correct procedure for the sensor you are using The zero and span adjustments are performed electronically with the results stored in memory NOTE Due to the presence of toxic gas during the calibration process appropriate safety procedures should be followed Chapter 4 Detailed Operating Instructions NOTE Calibration must be performed in an area known not to contain hazardous or interfering gases if ambient air will be used as the zero gas for this operation If this is not possible pure bottled air we recommend Nitrogen should be substituted Instructions for both procedures are provided below You only need to perform one or the other The quality of the calibration proces
