Calibration can be performed using either 100% CO2 calibration gas (typically nitrogen, argon, etc.), or using a
fresh source of air, assumed to be approximately 400ppm.

User’s Manual for complete instructions.
Calibration Procedure
To calibrate your meter, follow these steps:
1.
Turn ON the meter.
2.
Expose the meter to ambient air (assumed to be at 400ppm) or supply calibration gas bottle/cylinder
(100% nitrogen or argon) with the appropriate demand regulator.
3.
Wait 25 seconds to collect a sample. Write down this value as the “before” value.
4.
Click the
CALIBRATE
button after selecting your calibration gas.
5.
Wait 25 seconds again. This time, the meter will take a sample and use this data to adjust zero values. The
displayed measurement will show the new calibration value (0 or 400ppm, depending on method used).
6.
Disconnect the Calibration gas and wait 25 seconds. All displayed data will now be based on the new
calibration value. Repeat this procedure if the sensor is still operating outside of its specified range or if
readings vary greatly.

These models do not feature Automatic Background Calibration (ABC) algorithm due to the CO2 scale they
measure. To ensure the highest accuracy, we recommend calibrating these units with calibration gas (Nitrogen for
ZERO or CO2), close to the concentration being measured. Alternatively, a 100% or ambient calibration can be
performed.
To perform a calibration, attach the unit to your computer, power it with the wall adapter and either expose it to
atmosphere or supply it with your calibration gas, fed with a demand‐based regulator.
Open the GasLab
