This will enter the SETUP menu step 1, pressing the <MENU>
key a second time advances to step 2. Each press of the <MENU>
key advances the menu item. No values are saved or changed
by using the <MENU> key. The <ROLL> key is used to make
changes to program variables by scrolling through the available
options. When a value is changed, use the <SAVE> key to save it
to memory and advance to the next menu item.
<MENU> Press and release the <MENU> key to enter the SETUP
menu.
1. Out High
The default CO2 range is 0-2000 ppm. The
span can be changed from 1000 to 7500 ppm in
increments of 2000 ppm 500. Use the <ROLL>
key to change the value and <SAVE> to save.
The factory default is 2000 ppm.
<MENU>
2. Altitude
The default is 0 feet. Change by using the
<ROLL> key from 0 to 5000 feet in 500 ft
increments. Change 0 Ft for CO2 local altitude
correction and press <SAVE> to save a change.
<MENU>
3. Auto Cal
Automatic Cal Mode default is ON to correct
CO2 sensor drift to better than ± 10 ppm per
year. Change ON with the <ROLL> key and
save using <SAVE>. ON is recommended for
applications where the CO2 level will be close
to normal (400 ppm) at least once per day. If a
building is occupied 24 hours and the CO2 level
is fairly constant then this should be set to OFF.
<MENU>
4. Output
Use the <ROLL> key to toggle the output OFF
(normal operation), MIN (minimum output) or
MAX Test OFF (maximum output) for testing
purposes. Press either <SAVE> or <MENU> to
set it back to OFF and advance to the next item.
<MENU>
5. Calibrat
This item is used for 1000 ppm gas calibration
and is explained in the Calibration section.
1000 PPM
<MENU>
6. BackLite
Use the <ROLL> key to enable or disable the
LCD backlight. When enabled the backlight is
always on, Enable when disabled it never lights.
Press the <SAVE> key to save the setting. The
factory default is Enable.
<MENU>
7. Restore
Press the <SAVE> key to restore all factory
defaults and calibration to original factory
settings.
<MENU>
8. Menu
Press <SAVE> to exit the menu and return to
normal operation or <MENU> to repeat the
menu.
