Please Read Before Installation 

The following will damage the Air Check Oxygen monitor. 

1. The CO

2

 monitor requires 

24 VDC regulated power

.

Please Do Not connect

 the monitor to any voltage that exceeds

24 Volts DC, or

 

Any AC Voltage.

2. Do not power the carbon dioxide sensor unplugged from the main PC

board.  

Do Not Connect

 the CO

2

 sensor to the PC board while the

monitor is powered.  This Will Damage the sensor.

3. The CO

2

 cell range is matched to the electronics.  

Never exchange

 the

electronics with a CO

2

 sensor from a different monitor.

4. When calibrating or challenging the CO

2

 monitor,

a. Do not expose the monitor to flow rates that exceed ½ liter per

minute, (500 cc per minute) flow.

b. Expose the monitor to span gas blends that consist of

Oxygen, Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide only.    

Do Not expose

the monitor to any combustible gas,

 

i.e. Methane, Hydrogen,

etc.

5. Do not expose the CO

2

 monitor to silicone compounds. They can

cause a loss of sensitivity.

6. Do not expose the monitor to high flow air or install it directly in front of

fans.

7. When using the CO

2

 monitor, do not expose the sensor directly to a

water stream.  In areas requiring wash downs, cover and protect the

monitor and power supply.  Contact PureAire for details on a waterproof

enclosure.

8. Please refer to section 6.3 of this manual regarding the CO

2

 sensor.

YOU MUST

 choose a calibration method before use.
