2 SECTION 1 General Description The Model IAQ10 is a hand-held meter to measure Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ), displayed in units of parts per million (ppm). An NDIR sensor in the top end of the meter measures gas content by diffusion through sensing holes.
3 concentrations. This technique is called non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) detection. SECTION 3 Safety When using the IAQ10 to check for CO 2 values, make certain that you can safely raise and hold the instrument while making measurements. Be especially careful when working on a ladder.
4 SECTION 4 Setting-Up the Model IAQ10 Supplying Power The IAQ10 can be powered in one of two ways: four AA-size batteries or the optiona l AC adapter. Installing the Batteries Insert four AA batteries as indicated by the diagram located on the inside of the battery compartment.
5 SECTION 5 Operation of the Model IAQ10 Note : Do not hold the instrument close to your face. Humans exhale CO 2 and this will affect the accuracy of the readings. When pressing the keys on the keypad, the Model IAQ10 will beep to confirm the function.
6 calibration. When the Model IAQ10 completes the internal self-check, it will display the approximate percentage of battery life remaining. Note : The sensor needs up to 10 minutes to stabilize in still air before displayed readings can be considered accurate.
7 The display updates every second and each reading is the average of five samples. ( 5 ) Key The instrument only displays CO 2 . RECALL ( 6 ) Key Press the RECALL key repeatedly to display: minimum value ( MIN ), maximum value ( MAX ), average value ( AVG ), and number of seconds sampled ( COUNT ).
8 SECTION 6 Maintenance of the Model IAQ10 The Model IAQ10 requires very little maintenance to keep it performing well. Case If the instrument case or storage case needs cleaning, wipe it off with a soft, damp cloth. Never submerge the IAQ10 in any liquid or allow any liquid to enter the sensing holes.
9 Before sending your instrument for calibration or repair, you should call Customer Service. The service department will provide you with the cost of service or calibration, Return Materia l Authorization (RMA) number, and shipping instructions.
10 you with a NIST (US Na tional Institute of Standards and Technology) traceable certificate. This “annual checkup” assures you of consistently accurate readings; it is especially important in applications where strict calibration records must be main- tained.
11 1. Turn the instrument off. Under the batteries, move DIP switch # 7 to ON. Turn the instrument back on. 2. Press and hold the READ key to begin the calibration procedure. The display will begin a countdown from 5 to 0. Release the key when the display reads 0.
12 indicates “ SPAN ” and the span concen- tration. 6. Install the regulator on the span calibra- tion cylinder and connect tubing from the regulator to the inlet fitting on the top of the Model IAQ10. 7. Use 5 and 6 to adjust the concentra- tion displayed on the Model IAQ10 to match the concentration on the span gas cylinder.
13 SECTION 8 Troubleshooting of the Model IAQ10 This table lists the symptoms, possibl e causes, and recommended solutions for the Model IAQ10. Symptom Possible Causes Corrective A ction(s) No display.
14 Symptom Possible Causes Corrective A ction(s) Display reads “LO” Batteries are low Replace the batteries Note: If your symptoms are not remedied by the suggested corrective action, call TSI Instruments Ltd. SECTION 9 Internal DIP Sw itch Settings To access the DIP switches, remove the batteries from the battery compartment.
