GSM130

Carbon Monoxide Meter

Introduction

Thank you for selecting the Triplett GSM130 Carbon Monoxide Meter.

The GSM130 is a digital, pen style meter, that measures and displays

carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations between 0 and 999 parts per

million (ppm). The GSM130 can be used for ambient air safety checks of

residential areas, appliances, HVAC service on furnaces and hot water

heaters, home inspections, and industrial environments where the

accumulation of CO is possible.

Safety Information

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

The GSM130 Carbon Monoxide Monitor is intended for general

purpose Air Quality monitoring only, and has not been certified for use

pursuant to any state or city safety Carbon Monoxide Alarm or

Monitoring requirements.

The GSM130 Carbon Monoxide Monitor has not been tested by an

independent lab to comply with UL 2034

or IAS 6-96 standard.

It is the responsibility of the customer to obtain and apply current local,

state, and national regulations with regard to CO alarms, monitoring

and testing.

Electromagnetic (EMI) interference my cause erratic meter readings;

do not place meter near areas of high

EMI when taking CO measurements.

Recovery time is required after the meter has been exposed to high

levels of CO (the longer the exposure, the longer the recovery time).

Carbon monoxide is life threatening even at relatively low

concentrations; learn and recognize the effects of CO

poisoning (see Table below). Do not use this meter as a

personal safety monitoring device.

Effects of Carbon Monoxide (CO) Poisoning

Warning: Ensure that the meter is powered on in room temperature

and in an area free of CO. If not, the meter will read incorrectly when

subsequently measuring CO.

Button Descriptions

Turn the meter on and off (short press); Select alarm setpoint value

(long press from a powered OFF state; release the button when desired

alarm limit is displayed)

Turn the backlight on and off (short press); Toggle temperature

units (long press during self-test period). Reset Maximum CO value

(long press in normal operating mode)

Operation

Power the meter

IMPORTANT: Power the meter in a room temperature environment

and in an area free of CO; otherwise the meter will read incorrectly

when subsequently measuring CO.

Press the button to power on the meter. The LCD will switch ON

and display the programmed CO alarm limit in the primary display and

the ambient air temperature in the secondary display (as shown in the

LCD description section above). Replace the batteries if the display

does not switch ON.

The meter performs a 15-second self-test during which the displayed

values will blink. When the self-test is finished, the meter beeps and

enters the normal operating mode.

Measurements

The CO15 detects the existence of carbon monoxide (CO) in the

environment and displays the reading in parts per million (PPM) in the

primary display.

1. To take a measurement, trace the CO15 around the area of the

suspected leak.

2. The meter indicates the presence of carbon monoxide (CO) in

PPM in the primary display. The secondary display indicates the

maximum value since powered on.

3. Long press the “backlight” button while in measurement mode

to reset the maximum value.

4. When high CO levels are detected an audible beeper sounds at 25

ppm alerting the user to the dangerous CO levels. The higher the

concentration of CO, the faster the beeper will sound.

5. To turn the meter off, press the button. The meter powers off

after 15 minutes of inactivity.

Change Temperature Units

The temperature shows on the display during the self-test only. Power

the meter in a room temperature environment for the most accurate

readings. Long press

the button during the self-test to change the temperature

units to oC or oF.

Alarm Settings

An audible beep sounds at 25ppm alerting the user to dangerous CO

levels. Change the alarm limit value by following the steps below.

1. Turn OFF the meter by pressing the button.

2. Long press the button until the options display on the

screen.

3. The LCD cycles through these options: 25, 30, 35, 45, 50, 70,

100, 200 ppm.

4. Release the button at the desired alarm limit value.

5. The meter enters the self-test mode.

Backlight

The meter features a backlit LCD for use in dimly lit areas.

Press the button to power ON and OFF the backlight.

Auto Power OFF

The meter automatically powers OFF after 15 minutes of inactivity.
