Pressure compensation
Please note that the CO2 reading depends on the absolute air pressure.
This effect is compensated in the instrument. To do this, enter the correct air pressure (See
Changing the settings - Configuration). The air pressure depends on the height of the location above
mean sea level (See the “Barometric height formula” table on the next page) and weather influences.
Example:
You are located at a height of 800 m above sea level where you have a mean annual air pressure of
920 hPa. According to the barometer (1003 hPa) and the height correction of the barometer (to 1013
hPa) the mean annual air pressure has to be reduced by 10 (910 hPa air pressure).

Memory function for current, maximum and minimum values

The following displays appear when this button is pressed again and again:

1st press: HOLD - Readings are frozen in display

2nd press: MAX - Displays saved max. values
3rd press: MIN - Displays saved min. values
4th press: MEAN - Multi-point mean calculation
5th press: MEAN - Timed mean calculation
6th press: MEAN- Return to measuring mode

Important note:
The min/max values are measured from the time the instrument is switched on. The values are reset if
the instrument is switched off and then on again.

Printout
A printout of the reading with date and time can be activated by pressing the PRINT button.
The max, min and mean values also appear on the printout of a multi-point or timed mean cal-
culation. If a reading was frozen at a certain point in the display via the HOLD button, this rea-
ding appears in the printout with the time and date when the reading was frozen.
