Be sure to stand arms length from the instrument while taking measurement to
ensure that you are not affecting readings.

The user should be at least 20-30 feet (6-10 meters) away from any buildings, parking lots, highways, and
any other possible exhaust sources. If in doubt of the ambient air, please use the ZERO AIR cylinder.
• Press . When you turn the instrument on in clean ambient air, wait at least one (1)
minute to allow the monitor to warm up before carrying out the zero calibration. Zero Gas
Sensors: this will set the zero point of gases based on the clean ambient conditions.
• Have the cursor (reverse color) point to Zero Gas Sensors. Press OK to
execute a zero cycle of all the gas sensors. This procedure should last 30 seconds.
• At the end of the zero period the instrument reads the output of all gas sensors (with
the exception of the CO
that is set to 20.9%.
• If no error messages appear at the end of the countdown, proceed with your measurements.
Si-AQ VOC: zeroing VOC & Gas Sensors using Si-AQ VOC Zero Filter (except CO

Let the instrument run in ambient conditions for minimum of 5 minutes BEFORE Connecting the Si-AQ VOC
Zero Filter and performing the ZERO.

"A" inlet at the bottom of the Si-AQ VOC and ensure that
the opening on the bottom end of the filter is not blocked.
Allow the unit to run with the filter connected for at least 30
seconds before continuing, this ensures that any potential
contaminants inside the unit are purged.

All IAQ devices equipped with PID or optical sensors such as VOCs and/or CO
be protected from potential moisture, humidity and/or particulates in the air. Each Si-AQ VOC
unit is equipped with one (1) disposable AQ Moisture Filter (Si-AQ Moisture Filters).
