5. Gosod

  1. Tâl Cychwynnol: Before first use, fully charge the device using the provided USB-C cable and a compatible 5V USB power adapter. The battery indicator on the screen will show charging status. A full charge typically takes about 3 hours.
  2. Calibradiad Defnydd Cyntaf: For optimal accuracy, it is highly recommended to perform a manual calibration in an open, unpopulated environment with fresh air (e.g., outdoors) during the first use. Refer to Section 7 for calibration instructions.

6. Gweithrediad

6.1 Pŵer Ymlaen/Diffodd

Press and hold the multi-function button for approximately 3 seconds to power the device on or off.

6.2 Darllen yr Arddangosfa

The large color LCD screen displays the current CO2 concentration in parts per million (ppm). The device also features a tri-color indication light system around the display to quickly assess air quality:

  • Golau Gwyrdd: 400-699 ppm (Good concentration)
  • Golau Melyn: 700-1499 ppm (Medium concentration)
  • Golau Coch: 1499-5000 ppm (Dangerous concentration)
Diagram illustrating the tri-color CO2 indication light: Green for 400-699ppm (good), Yellow for 700-1499ppm (medium), and Red for 1499-5000ppm (dangerous).

6.3 ECO Power-Saving Mode

To conserve battery, the device automatically enters ECO power-saving mode after 5 minutes of inactivity, turning off the screen. The device continues to monitor CO2 levels in the background. Press any button to reactivate the display.

7. graddnodi

Calibration ensures the accuracy of your CO2 detector. The device supports both automatic and manual calibration.

7.1 Graddnodi Awtomatig

Automatic calibration is enabled by default. The device will periodically self-calibrate in environments with stable CO2 levels. You can manually toggle automatic calibration on or off.

7.2 Graddnodi â Llaw

I gyflawni calibradu â llaw:

  1. Place the device in an open, unpopulated environment with fresh air (e.g., outdoors) for at least 10-15 minutes to allow CO2 levels to stabilize.
  2. Long press the multi-function button. The screen will display "CAL" and initiate a 200-second countdown.
  3. Keep the device in the fresh air environment until the countdown completes. The device will then be calibrated.

8. Gosodiadau Larwm

The device is equipped with an audible alarm that activates when the CO2 concentration exceeds a set threshold. The default alarm threshold is 1500 ppm.

8.1 Customizing the Alarm Value

To adjust the alarm threshold:

  1. Long press the multi-function button for approximately 5 seconds until the alarm value starts flashing.
  2. Press the button once to increment the flashing digit.
  3. Press the button twice quickly to move to the next digit.
  4. Once the desired alarm value is set, wait a few seconds for the device to save the setting automatically.

8.2 Deactivating the Alarm

The audible alarm function can be deactivated if desired. Follow the steps for customizing the alarm value and set it to 'OFF' or a similar indicator if available, or set the threshold to its maximum value (5000 ppm) to effectively disable it for typical indoor use.
