1  GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION 

1.1

 

Intended Use 

The Macurco CD-6H and CD-6MC are low voltage, dual relay Carbon Dioxide (CO

2

) detector, controller and transducer. The CD-6”x” 

has selectable 4-20 mA output, buzzer and digital display options. It is an electronic detection system used to measure the concentration 
of Carbon Dioxide and provide feedback and automatic ventilation control to help reduce CO

2

 concentrations in conference rooms, 

classrooms, meeting halls or similar applications. The CD-6”x” is a low-level meter capable of displaying from 0-5000 ppm (parts per 
million) of Carbon dioxide. The CD-6”x” is factory calibrated and 100% tested for proper operation.  
 
The CD-6H uses an automated background calibration program to set the clean air level on a regular basis.   
 
The CD-6MC has the same setting and features of the CD-6H with the addition of being able to perform a manual calibration. The CD-
6MC requires a manual calibration process at a minimum of once per year using the Macurco CD6-FCK calibration kit. 

 

 

1.2

 

List of Warnings and Cautions within these User Instructions 

 

 WARNING 

 

Each person using this equipment must read and understand the information in these User Instructions before use. Use of this 
equipment by untrained or unqualified persons or use that is not in accordance with these User Instructions, may adversely 
affect product performance and 

result in serious injury or death

 

Use only for monitoring the gas which the sensor and instrument are designed to monitor. Failure to do so may result in 
exposures to gases not detectable and 

cause serious injury or death

. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, 

or call Technical Support at 844-325-3050. 

 

This equipment may not function effectively below 32°F or above 122°F (0°C or above 50°C). Using the detector outside of 
this temperature range may adversely affect product performance and 

result in serious injury or death

 

This detector helps monitor for the presence and concentration level of a certain specified airborne gas. Misuse may produce 
an inaccurate reading, which means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present and could result in 
overexposure and 

cause serious injury or death

. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or call Technical 

Support at 844-325-3050. 

 

High voltage terminals (120/240 VAC) are located within this detector, presenting a hazard to service technicians. Only 
qualified technicians should open the detector case and service the internal circuits. Ensure power is de-energized from the 
detector relays prior to servicing the unit. 

Failure to do so may result in serious injury or death

 

Do not disassemble unit or attempt to repair or modify any component of this instrument. This instrument contains no user 
serviceable parts, and substitution of components may impair product performance and 

result in serious injury or death

 

Using a certified gas with a concentration other than the one listed for this detector when conducting a calibration verification 
test (bump test) will produce inaccurate readings. This means that higher levels of the gas being monitored may be present 
and could result in overexposure and 

cause serious injury or death

. For proper use, see supervisor or User Instructions, or 

call Technical Support at 844-325-3050. 

 

The following steps must be performed when conducting a calibration verification test (bump test) to ensure proper 
performance of the monitor. Failure to do so may adversely affect product performance and 

result in serious injury or death

When performing a calibration verification test (bump test) only use certified calibration gas at the required concentration level. 

o

 

Do not test with expired calibration gas. 

o

 

Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover. 

o

 

Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and is free of debris
