2. INTENDED USE

The product is a stationary CO_2 meter for determination of the carbon dioxide concentration ( CO_2 ) in the ambience air with the precise and long-term stable NDIR measuring method (non-dispersive infrared absorption measurement).

The meter is used to monitor the carbon dioxide content in the room air so that the corresponding ventilation measures can be initiated early on. Increased CO_2 content leads to exhaustion, lack of focus and performance deficits.

A carbon-dioxide alarm value can be set individually by the user. If this value is exceeded, it will trigger an acoustic alarm. Three LEDs indicate the current CO_2 content at a single glance.

This display can show not only the CO_2 concentration but also the air temperature and humidity.

A datalogger records the measured CO_2 concentration values for the last 24 hours (and the corresponding temperatures and humidities) at 30-minute intervals. Maximum and minimum values can also be displayed.

The included mains adapter can be used to supply the CO_2 meter with power. Two internal screw terminals can be used to connect another external voltage/current supply (stabilised direct voltage of 6 V/DC is required, as well as a current of at least 300 mA).

Special features are a relay switching output inside the casing (NO contact, closer) that is activated when the upper threshold value is exceeded (for relay load capacity, see chapter „Technical Data“).

This product is not suitable for other types of use. Any other use may damage the product, including the associated dangers like short circuit, fire, electric shock, etc. Observe the safety information under all circumstances!

7. WALL INSTALLATION AND CONNECTION

To operate the CO_2 meter stationarily it can be mounted, e.g. on a wall, using the corresponding holes on its rear.

Observe that the gas measurement aperture (see chapter 6, item „L“) is free and not blocked.

A mains socket also needs to be present in proximity of the CO_2 meter.

Proceed as follows:

  • Disconnect the CO2 meter from the mains voltage.
    Disconnect the low-voltage plug of the mains adapter from the corresponding socket of the CO
    2 meter.
  • Loosen the single screw at the top of the casing and then carefully fold down the front until it can be removed.
  • Remove the bottom plate. Four screws must be removed for this.
  • Now the bottom plate can be mounted on the wall with the holes in it.

Ensure that no cables or lines are damaged when drilling and screwing.

Also observe that the screws do not protrude too far and damage the PCB. Use only flat-headed screws.

- Insert the PCB again and screw it on.

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Proceed as follows: - 1

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Proceed as follows: - 2

natural_image Technical line drawing of a device rear panel assembly with mounting holes and internal components (no text or symbols)

- A relay output is available at the terminal strip (see chapter 6, item „M“). The relay is activated when the upper threshold 2 (see chapter 9 c) is exceeded (red LED lights up). The relay therefore works as a NO contact (NO = „normally open“ = closer contact).

The two other terminals can be used for power supply if you do not wish to connect the included mains adapter.

→ Only a stabilised direct voltage of 6 V/DC must be used, and a minimum current of 300 mA must be available (terminal „GND“ for minus/-, terminal „6 V/DC“ for plus/+).

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Proceed as follows: - 3

text_image GND +6 V/DC NO

→ See the bottom of the PCB for terminal contact labels.

The bottom plate has the apertures for installing the connection cables.

• To close the casing, first attach the front to the bottom plate at the bottom.
Carefully fold up the front and fasten it with the screw removed initially.
- Connect the CO_2 meter to the mains voltage.

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Proceed as follows: - 4

Attention!

The RJ45 connection (see chapter 7, item „K“) must not be used. The connection is only intended for the manufacturer.

8. START-UP

  • To take the CO2 meter into operation, connect the round plug of the included mains adapter to the low-voltage socket at the side of the CO2 meter, and plug it in a mains socket.
    → If you have used the internal screw terminals for power supply, the mains adapter must not be connected.
  • For a brief moment, all display segments will appear and the CO_2 meter emits a signal sound. Then the display shows "WARM UP".
  • The CO_2 meter now needs approx. 1 minute for warm-up. During this time, all buttons are deactivated.

In this time, the first CO_2 concentration measurement is performed. The display also indicates humidity and temperature.

Wait until warming up is completed and the „WARM UM“ display disappears.

- The CO_2 meter is now ready for operation.

→ If the CO_2 meter measures a CO_2 concentration exceeding 1200ppm after warm-up (e.g. in an office room), the red LED lights up.

A signal sound may also be emitted (depending on factory settings) to indicate that the upper threshold value was exceeded. To activate signal sound muting, see chapter 10. a).

The yellow LED lights up at a CO_2 concentration between 800 and 1200ppm.

To programme new threshold values for the CO_2 measurement, proceed as described in chapters 9 b) and 9 c).

Also set the correct altitude at the installation site (barometric pressure compensation, see chapter 9 d).

a) Muting the Signal Sound

When the upper CO_2 threshold is exceeded („ALARM2“, see chapter 9 c), factory settings 1200ppm), a loud signal sound is emitted in addition to the red LED lighting up.

This signal sound can be muted, e.g. to switch it off during programming.

Proceed as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „MUTE“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the medium display line shows „ON“ or „OFF“.

„ON“ = muting active, signal sound off

„OFF“ = muting not active, signal sound on

  • Select between „ON“ and „OFF“ using the arrow buttons „▲“ or „▼“.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“ to save the setting.
  • The signal sound settings are now displayed at the top:

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Proceed as follows: - 1

= muting active, signal sound off

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Proceed as follows: - 2

= muting not active, signal sound on

b) Setting Threshold Value 1

If the measured CO_2 concentration is below threshold value 1 (factory settings 800ppm), the green LED is lit. When the CO_2 concentration set as threshold value 1 is exceeded, the green LED goes out and the yellow LED lights up.

Set threshold value 1 as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „ALARM 1“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the medium display line shows the display for threshold value 1.
  • Set threshold value 1 with the arrows „▲“ and „▼“. Below 1000ppm, the step width is 50ppm, above 1000ppm it is 100ppm.
  • Briefly press the „ENTER“ button to save the setting.

→ Threshold value 1 always needs to be set lower than threshold value 2!

c) Setting Threshold Value 2

If the measured CO_2 concentration is below threshold value 2 (factory settings 1200ppm), the green LED is lit. When the CO_2 concentration set as threshold value 2 is exceeded, the yellow LED goes out and the red LED lights up. A signal sound can also be emitted (for muting the sound signal, see chapter 9 a).

Set threshold value 2 as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „ALARM 2“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the medium display line shows the display for threshold value 2.
  • Set threshold value 2 with the arrows „▲“ and „▼“. Below 1000ppm, the step width is 50ppm, above 1000ppm it is 100ppm.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“ to save the setting.

→ Threshold value 2 always needs to be set higher than threshold value 1!

d) Setting Altitude (Altitude Compensation)

To receive correct values from your measurements, the altitude at the operating site of the CO_2 meter must be set. The setting uses altitude meters referring to sea level (NN = sea level).

Proceed as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „ALTI“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the medium display line shows the altitude display and the altitude unit „m“ (meter) flashes.
  • Set the altitude with the arrows „▲“ and „▼“.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“ to save the setting.

e) Setting the Carbon Dioxide Normal Value in the Outside Area

The carbon dioxide normal value is required as a reference value to calculate the ventilation rate („VENT RATE“) (also see chapter 9 i). The pre-set reference value is the generally applicable value of 400ppm (average value of CO_2 concentration in the atmosphere).

To change the normal value, proceed as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „OUTSIDE“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the medium display line shows the reference value (factory setting 400ppm).
  • Set the reference value with the arrows „▲“ and „▼“.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“ to save the setting.

f) Calibration

Calibration was already performed by the manufacturer. nevertheless, you can perform calibration again yourself.

→ Observe that new calibration only makes sense if a more precise value for calibration is known to you!

  • You have another, precisely calibrated CO_2 meter. Of course, you can perform calibration yourself then.
  • You are using the value of the average CO2 concentration present in the atmosphere outside, e.g. outside a building. However, strong deviations may occur depending on environmental conditions (town, road, forest; industrial area, exhaust, etc.)! Usually, the outside CO2 concentration is at 380-420ppm.

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - f) Calibration - 1

Attention! The product will be damaged if it becomes damp or wet. The mains adapter also poses fatal danger from electric shock!

- Let CO_2 gas at a known concentration escape close to the gas measurement opening. Air currents and environmental conditions may, however, also cause strong deviations here.

We therefore recommend leaving the manufacturer's calibration or only performing calibration using another, precisely calibrated CO2 meter or if you know the precise CO2 concentration.

Start calibration as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „CALI“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the medium display line shows the calibration value display.
  • Set the calibration value with the arrows „▲“ and „▼“. The calibration value is the CO₂ measured value you want to use for calibration, see above.
  • Keep the „MODE“ button pressed for approx. 10 seconds. The display „CALIBRATING“ flashes at the bottom of the display. Calibration tapes approx. 3 minutes.

VOLTCRAFT CO100 - Start calibration as follows: - 1

Important: Never breathe next to the CO_2 meter. Keep sufficient distance. Avoid strong airstreams, do not move the CO_2 meter.

- After completion of calibration, the display indicates „PASS“ (calibration successful) or „FAIL“ (calibration unsuccessful).

→ Defective calibration can occur in particular if the CO_2 concentration fluctuates during calibration.

Eliminate any interfering influences and perform calibration again.

- Briefly press „ENTER“ to leave calibration mode. The CO _2 meter returns to normal display.

g) Datalogger Function (Data Memory)

The CO_2 meter automatically stores the measured CO_2 (carbon dioxide), temperature and humidity values for the last 24 hours at 30-minute intervals.

The oldest dataset is overwritten each time. All in all, a maximum of 48 datasets can be stored.

→ The data remains stored even if the CO_2 meter is disconnected from the power supply.

Proceed as follows to display the data:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „DATALOGGER“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the last dataset is displayed. The top display line alternates between CO₂ concentration and dataset number.

Latest dataset = # 1 (30 minutes ago)

Oldest dataset = #48 (24 hours ago)

  • Select a dataset with the arrows „▲“ and „▼“.
  • Briefly press „ENTER“ to leave dataset display. The CO _2 meter returns to normal display.

h) Displaying/Resetting MAX/MIN Values

In operation, the CO_2 meter stores the highest and lowest CO_2 value measured. This enables, e.g., quick determination of peak loads.

This maximum and minimum memory can, of course, be reset.

Proceed as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „MAX MIN“ flashes on the display.
  • Briefly press the „ENTER“ button. The display now alternates between maximum and minimum CO₂ concentration values and the corresponding temperature / humidity.
  • If the maximum and minimum value is to be reset, briefly press one of the arrows „▲“ and „▼“, so that „CLR“ appears on the display (press the arrow again to leave deletion mode again).

Briefly press the „ENTER“ button while „CLR“ is displayed to reset the maximum and minimum values to the current measured value. The CO_2 meter returns to normal display.

→ The current measured value is displayed as the new maximum and minimum value until another change happens.

- If the values are not to be reset, briefly press one of the errors. „CLR“ disappears. Then briefly press the „ENTER“ button. The CO₂ meter returns to normal display.

i) Resetting the CO₂ Meter to Factory Settings

This function resets the CO_2 meter to factory settings.

→ Not only the threshold value settings, but also basic calibration is reset.

All 48 data memory slots (see chapter 9 g) are also deleted.

Proceed as follows:

  • Briefly press the „MODE“ button repeatedly (from the normal operating mode) until „RcFS“ flashes on the display („RcFS“ = Recover the Factory Settings“).
  • Briefly press the button „ENTER“; the top display line shows „NO“.
  • Select between „NO“ and „YES“ using the arrow buttons „▲“ or „▼“.

„NO“ = do not reset

„YES“ = Reset to default settings

- Briefly press the „ENTER“ button.

If you selected „NO“, the CO_2 meter returns to normal display without resetting factory settings.

Selecting „YES“ resets all settings to factory settings and deletes all 48 data memory slots. Then the CO_2 meter returns to normal display.

j) Displaying Temperature/Ventilation Rate

The medium display line can be switched between temperature and ventilation rate display.

The ventilation rate indicates how much air is recirculated from outside to the inside. This is calculated from the change of the CO_2 concentration within a certain period and the difference to the CO_2 concentration outside (atmosphere, approx. 400ppm). A low value corresponds to a bad ventilation rate (low air exchange), a high value to a good ventilation rate (large air exchange).

→ A good ventilation rate may also point to waste of energy, e.g. due to windows not being tight.

For an indicative value, read the values only after 2-3 hours, once the CO_2 concentration has stabilised, e.g. after all employees have left the office.

Proceed as follows:

Repeatedly press the arrow „▲“ or „▼“ in normal operating mode; the middle display line switches between the following displays:

• Measured temperature value
- Ventilation rate l/p/s (litres of air per second and person)
- Ventilation rate m^3/p/s (cubic metres of air per second and person)

10. MAINTENANCE AND CARE

The product is maintenance-free for you. Never take it apart (except for mounting as described in these operating instructions).

Repair or maintenance work must be carried out by a specialist.

Use a soft, dry and clean cloth only for cleaning.

Do not press too hard on the display. This may cause scratches and damage the display.

Dust can be removed very easily using a soft, clean brush and vacuum cleaner.

Never use any aggressive cleaning agents or chemical solutions that may damage the surface of the casing.
