What is a CO2 meter with calibration function?
Calibration is the comparison of the CO2 meter with a standard to determine its properties.
What is the use of calibration? If the meter deviates in a few years' time, you can recalibrate it. After calibration, your meter will start measuring accurately again. If you take a CO2 meter without a calibration function and it deviates after a few years, you can no longer use it.
Where should I place my CO2 meter?
1. Place the meter in the middle of (part of) the room, at a height of about 1.5 m from the floor.
2. If mechanical ventilation is present, the meter can be placed at table height.
3. Place the meter as much as possible in the used part of the room.
4. Make sure that the meter is in a safe position so that it cannot fall over or be spilled on.
5. Do not place the sensor next to a door, window or inlet of the ventilation system, nor directly next to people.
6. Do not exhale near the sensor; it will affect the reading.
7. Do not place the meter in direct sunlight or near sources of heat or humidity
8. Do not place the CO2 meter on the ceiling or floor.
9. Provide a meter in every enclosed space
10. CO2 is heavier than air and will therefore tend to sink.
11. Some materials, such as fresh concrete, affect CO2 values.
How to manage multiple CO2 meters centrally?
Tempro delivers solutions that monitor multiple locations simultaneously from an online cloud platform with alerts and reports by email.
What is a CO2 meter?
A CO2 meter measures the proportion of CO2 in the air and indicates the air quality of a room, expressed in PPM (parts per million). This tells you when it is necessary to ventilate and clean the room. Aerating rooms ensures that the CO2 content drops and the air quality in the room improves.
What if my CO2 meter turns red and the values are above 1200ppm?
If the CO2 meter indicates a value >1200ppm, measures must be taken. This means that your room is not properly ventilated, which can lead to complaints such as headaches, reduced concentration, etc. may occur. If your CO2 meter indicates red, the best thing to do is to ventilate your space as much as possible, for example by opening the windows, until the value has dropped again.
What is the difference between a CO2 meter and a CO alarm?
A CO2 meter measures the proportion of CO2 in the air and indicates when you need to ventilate. CO2 meters are recommended in the fight against COVID.
A CO meter measures the amount of deadly CO in the air and indicates incomplete combustion somewhere.
So make no mistake when purchasing a CO2 meter.
