SHORT INSTRUCTION OF MANUAL
General description
The CL11 is an accurate desktop datalogger that displays & records relative
humidity, temperature, CO
2
and external probe temperature.
Program m ing
Most of the settings, such as memory clear, CO

alarm, alarm beeper on/off,
CO

status indicator, units (
°
C/
°
F), sampling rate, pressure compensation and
real time clock can all be changed using the function keys.

DATA LOGGING
The meter can automatically record readings of CO
2
/TEMP./RH/PROBE for long time
environment monitoring. The memory capacity is 10000 points for each parameter.
Users can set up sampling rate from 1 second to 4hours 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
The factory default rate is 30 seconds.
To setup the sampling rate, hold down “SET” key for 2 seconds until entering setup
mode. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select the program (P 40, displayed in right
bottom corner) and press “ENTER” key to enter.
Start to input the sampling rate you need from hour, minute to second. Press “UP” or
“DOWN” key to adjust and the press “ENTER” key to confirm. Press “ESC” key to
return to normal mode.
After sampling rate setting is completed, press “ START” key for 2 seconds under
normal mode to start logging. The “REC” icon & green LED flashes to indicate the
logging is in process and LCD remains displaying the real time measured value
(Fig.9)
Hum idity Calibration
This meter can be calibrated either via 35% & 80% salt bottles. The ambient
condition is recommended to be steady 25°C.
CAUTION:
Do not calibrate the humidity without the default calibration salt. Otherwise, it will
cause permanent damage. Contact Rotronic for calibration salt or services.
Single point calibration will cause error code E11 or non accurate reading. Always
do dual point calibration to complete a process. We strongly suggest to start a
calibration with the lower humidity standard.
Congratulations on your purchase on the new desktop humidity, temperature and
CO
2
instrument. Please read these short instructions carefully before installing
the device.

Repeat above to start another run of logging. While the logging space is full, it shows
“FULL”. To terminate data logging, press “ ESC” key for 2 seconds. “REC” and green
LED stop flashing.
Meter Setup
Hold down “ SET” key for more than 2 seconds until entering setup mode. To exit
setup, press “ESC” to return to normal mode.
Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select the program and press “ENTER” key to enter.
Programmable setting flashes on display. Press “ UP” or “DOWN” key to select and
press “ ENTER” to confirm. To leave without saving, press “ESC” key to return.
CO

Calibration
CAUTION:
Do not calibrate the meter in the air with unknown CO
2
concentration. Otherwise,
it will be calibrated as 400ppm by default and leads to inaccurate measurements.
The meter is calibrated at standard 400ppm CO
2
concentration in factory. It’s
suggested to do manual calibration regularly to maintain good accuracy.
The meter can be calibrated at 400ppm CO
2
calibration in fresh outdoor air that is
well ventilated on a sunny day.
Press “SET” +”START”+”DOWN” keys simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter
calibration mode.
Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select 400ppm CO
2
calibration.
Press “ENTER” key to start calibration and see “CAL” and CO
2
value blink on LCD.
Wait about 10 minutes until the blinking stops to indicate the calibration is completed.
To abort calibration without saving, press “ESC” at any time.

Calibraiton with humidity standards
While the meter is powered on, plug the sensor probe into 35% salt. Press “SET” +
”START”+”DOWN” keys simultaneously for 3 seconds to enter calibration mode.
Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select 35.0% calibration and press “ENTER” to start.
“Calibrating value” (35.2% if at 25
O
C) are blinking on the LCD.
Waiting for 60 minutes to complete the 35% calibration. To immediately save, press
“ENTER” key any time. 80.0% calibration comes right after 35% calibration is done.
Within 20 minutes, press “ENTER” key to start 80.0% calibration. “calibrating value”
is blinking on the LCD. Waiting for 60 minutes to complete the 80% calibration. To
quickly save, press “ENTER” key any time.
Now, the device is well calibrated. To abort without saving, press “ESC” to quit
without saving.

TAKING MEASUREMENT
The meter starts to measure when power is on. In the condition of operating
environment change, it takes 30 seconds to respond for CO
2
sensor.
NOTE:
Do not hold the meter close to faces as exhalation may affect the CO
2
value

BACKLIGHT
The backlight will be activated for 10 seconds by pressing any key
DATE/TIME SETUP
When meter is powered on, hold down the “SET” key for 2 seconds until entering
setup mode. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to select the program (P 60, displayed in
right bottom corner) and press “ENTER” key to enter.
First, choose the time format as 24 hour or 12 hour by press “UP” or “DOWN” key and
then press “ENTER” key to confirm. Now, start to input the real time clock value from
year, month, date, hour, minute to second. Press “UP” or “DOWN” key to adjust and
the press “ENTER” key to confirm.
After the date and time are set, a clearance of the memory must be performed. Press
“UP” or “Down” key to select P 10 and press “ENTER” key to enter. Press “UP” or
“Down” key to choose “YES” to clear previous memories and press “ENTER” key to
confirm.
Then, Press “ESC” key to return to normal mode.
UNIT SETUP

This device allows you to check the minimun, maximun, STEL &TWA value from the
moment you power on the meter. Under normal mode, press “MIN/MAX/AVG” key to
see the minimum, maximum, 15 min average (STEL )& 8 hour average (TWA) in turns.
(Fig.5~8). STEL&TWA are only for CO
2
. MAX/MIN functions are for all parameters. If
the device is powered on for shorter than 15 mins or 8 hours, the STEL and TWA value
will be displayed as “ - - - -“ to indicate the time interval is not long enough for
calculation.
MIN, MAX, AVG
ALARM
The meter features acoustic & light alarm to give warnings when CO
2
concentration
exceeds the limit. (See “Meter Setup” section for setting alarm threshold).
It emits beeps (~80dB) & red LED light when CO
2
level goes over the set value and
stops only when the readings fall below the set value or manually turn beeper off.
It beeps again when value goes over the limit. Please note, if the beeper is selected
as OFF, device emit light warning only, no beeper.
To manually turn beeper off, hold down “SET” key for more than 2 seconds until
entering setup mode. Press “UP” or “Down” key to select P 20 and press “ENTER”
key to enter. Press “UP” or “Down” key to select P22 (beeper on/off) and the press
“ENTER” to enter. Then, press “UP” or “Down” key to switch the mode as “OFF” to
turn the beeper off all of the time.
