Learn about the components of your CO2 Monitor and they information they provide.
The current CO2 level in parts per million (ppm) is the primary number displayed in large text.
Below the CO2 ppm display, the bottom row shows in smaller text the temperature (in *C) and relative humidity in %.
When in setup mode, the name of the access point advertised by the CO2 monitor will also be shown along the very top of the screen above the CO2 reading (not shown in photo).
The indicator lights provide a quick visual reference of the current CO2 ppm level.
Indicator Colour | Description | Default Threshold |
---|---|---|
Solid Green | Good air quality | < 800 ppm |
Solid Orange | Average air quality | 800 - 1000 ppm |
Solid Red | Bad air quality | 1000 - 1200 ppm |
Flashing Red | Very bad air quality | > 1200 ppm |
You can use the configuration settings to change the default thresholds and adjust the brightness of the indicator lights.
The small black button below the silver connector can be pushed with a paper clip or similar thin object to place the CO2 monitor into setup mode. Refer to the Setup Instructions for further details.
The CO2 Monitor takes a 5V DC power input via a USB-B style connector on the bottom edge.
