TREND CHART
The trend chart (1) displays the past readings for any of the three parameters (CO
2
/Temp/RH). There
are 4 modes that can be toggled by using UP key: CO
2
, TEMP, RH, and Cycle (automacally cycles
through CO
2
/Temp/RH), as shown below.
TREND CHART ZOOM
Below is a table that shows the available Zoom Levels for all parameters (CO
2
, Temp and RH) as well as
the duraon of each division for corresponding Zoom Levels:
Using DOWN will toggle the available Zoom Levels for each parameter. Note that in addion to the
Zoom Levels for each parameter, there is an opon that will automacally cycle between the Zoom
Levels. This can be achieved just by pressing DOWN unl icon (14) appears at the boom le of the
chart.
MAX/MIN
At the top right corner of the display, there are two numerical indicators: Max (2) and Min (5). As the
Zoom Level is changed, the Max and Min values will reect the maximum and minimum values on
the chart of the selected parameter (CO
2
, Temp and RH). At startup, the unit will automacally display
values for CO
2
.
NOTE: Trend chart contains a maximum of 17 sets of recorded data at one me. Aer the chart is
full the data is FIFO (rst-in, rst-out).

MAIN MENU FUNCTIONS
The Main Menu (8) funcons can be toggled through by using MENU. If the main menu is not brought
up, the green bar will remain blank, leaving the UP and DOWN buons to toggle between parameters
and Zoom Levels, respecvely.
ALARM PLANT LOG CALI ALTI 0C/0FADV
Pressing MENU once will bring up the main menu, with an underlining ashing bar indicang the
current choice.
To select the funcon, press ENTER when it is underlined by the ashing bar. Note that aer 1 minute
if nothing is pressed, the Main Menu will disappear and the device will revert to the normal state.
HOLD HOME
Hold ENTER for 3 seconds to reset the unit back to Home Seng which has a default target zone of
800-1200 PPM. The Target Zone is the only seng that will be reverted back to Home Seng. All
other sengs will not be reset. If the unit is unplugged it will keep the plant seng previously selected
before power was removed.
On the next page is a table showing what main menu selecon is made by pressing MENU mulple
mes as well as their funcons. Note that the device will display “Done,” followed by the conrmed
selecon if selected correctly.
Note: LOW LED never turns ON in

FUNCTION DIRECTIONS
ALARM
By default, the audible alarm for CO
2
levels exceeding set level, is set to OFF.
Once ALARM is selected (by pressing ENTER), use either UP or DOWN to toggle the selecon
from ON to OFF or vice versa. Press ENTER one more me to conrm. A regular bell icon will be
displayed if alarm is on; a silenced bell icon will appear on the screen if the alarm is set to be o.
PLANT
This funcon allows the user to select between types of plants for opmal seng. Once selected,
the chart area will display the current plant seng. Use UP and DOWN to toggle to the desired
plant. In order, the selecons are: Bean, Chillies, Custom Plant, Cucumber, General Plant, Grape,
Orchid, Potato, Strawberry and Tomato. Press ENTER on the desired plant to conrm. Note that
selecng a plant will automacally change the unit’s mode to Plant instead of Human. To change
it back, see funcon ADV.
With Custom Plant, the user can dene the Low and High Target zone for custom opmum CO
2
levels. Aer selecng this opon, Low Target Zone selecon will appear. Press ENTER, then use UP
and DOWN to dene Low. Press ENTER to conrm.
The device will now emit alarms (if enabled) and display the 3 corresponding LED indicators
according to the dened range.
LOG
This feature allows the user to see historical data recorded in the log at any point that is
displayable on the chart. First make sure the desired Zoom Level is selected before enabling this
funcon. Then once LOG is enabled, use UP and DOWN toggle between the me divisions to see
all parameters’ measurements for each division. Press ENTER once more to exit this mode.
CALI
Use this funcon to calibrate your device with outside atmospheric CO
2
level, ~400 ppm. Select
this mode, hold ENTER for 3 seconds unl a beep and the chart will read “Calibrang”, then place
the device outside for 20 min. To escape, press MENU. Make sure the device is far from a source
of CO
2
, not in direct sunlight, and not exposed to water. NOTE: Do not breathe on or near the unit
during Calibraon.
ALTI This feature provides an altude correcon to the CO
2
level for increased accuracy. Select this
feature, then use UP and DOWN to input the current altude (look it up if unknown) in meters.
Press ENTER once altude is correct.
°C/°F Use this feature to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit for the temperature display. First use
UP and DOWN, then ENTER when the desired one is selected.
ADV
This funcon toggles between 3 things when selected: changing the alarm and lights to suit levels
for Plant, or for Human, or Restore factory seng.
Restore factory seng will reset the device to factory sengs and erase all stored data in the
chart. To use any of these modes, hold ENTER for 3 seconds unl an audible beep.
(Return) Exits the main menu. No opons will be displayed on the green bar. A dierent audible beep be
heard in this opon.

Le graphique de tendances (1) ache les lectures antérieures de n’importe quel de ces trois
paramètres (CO2/Temp/HR). 4 modes peuvent être séleconnés en ulisant la touche UP : CO2, TEMP,
RH et Cycle (cycles automaques CO2/Temp/HR), illustrés ci-dessous.
ÉCHELLE DE GRAPHIQUE DE TENDANCES
Un tableau indique ci-dessous les échelles disponibles de tous les paramètres (CO2, température et
HR), ainsi que la durée de chaque division pour les échelles correspondantes :
La touche DOWN permet de séleconner les échelles disponibles de chaque paramètre. Outre celles-
ci, notez qu’il existe une opon permeant un cycle automaque entre les échelles. Celle-ci peut être
acvée en appuyant sur DOWN jusqu’à ce que l’icône (14) apparaisse en bas à gauche du graphique.
MAX/MIN
Deux indicateurs numériques sont présents dans le coin supérieur droit de l’écran : Max (2) et Min
(5). Si l’échelle est modiée, les valeurs Max et Min prendront en compte les valeurs maximales
et minimales du paramètre séleconné sur le graphique (CO2, température et HR). L’unité ache
automaquement les valeurs de CO2 au démarrage.
