CHAPTER 4

POWER REQUIREMENTS

The Sauermann SI-AQ VOC Indoor Air Quality Monitor is a battery-operated Portable device
designed to be operated by a qualified engineer/technician to make measurements in buildings and
residential facilities. For long-term testing please carefully follow the product safety instructions in
Chapter 1.

Power is supplied by a Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack. The battery pack will supply power to the
monitor for about at least 8 hours of continuous operation.

A 110 – 240 Volt AC charger having a 12 Volt DC / 2.5A output is supplied with the instrument. The
battery charger will fully charge the battery pack in three hours.

You can check the condition of the batteries at any time:

1. By pressing the MEASURE key, (small font screen) and observing the battery icon, located at
the bottom of the display.

2. By pressing the MEASURE key, (large font screen), the user can scroll all the way to the
end using the DOWN arrow key to observe the battery life shown in Voltage. When the
unit is operating on its internal batteries, the voltage displayed will vary from an initial 8.0 to
8.4 volts (fully charged) dropping slowly to approximately 7 volts (batteries nearly empty).
When the battery voltage drops to 7.1 volts a “low battery” warning will appear on the
display. Within a few minutes later the instrument will automatically turn off, to preserve the
remaining battery power for the sensor bias voltages.

1.800.561.8187 www. .com information@itm.com


Page 11 of 42
CHAPTER 5

SENSORS -TECHNICAL
The great versatility of the SI-AQ VOC Air Quality monitor is partly due to the large number of sensors
available within a single monitor.

These sensors are primarily gas sensors and can be grouped into four categories based on their
principle of operation:
1. Up to two (2) electrochemical gas sensors
2. One (1) NDIR (infrared gas sensors) - CO2
3. One (1) Photo ionization detector (PID gas sensor) - VOC
4. Non-gas sensors (Temperature, Humidity, Pressure, Velocity, and Barometric pressure)
sensors

The main section of the monitor houses all the electrochemical, NDIR, and PID gas sensors, battery
pack, and PC board. On the bottom of the unit, there is a black external sampling system for Ambient
Temperature, Relative Humidity, and Barometric Pressure.

The figure below shows the internal manifold of the gas sensors inside the unit:

Page 12 of 42
1. ELECTROCHEMICAL SENSORS

All electrochemical sensors are mounted on fitted socket fittings for easy installation and removal.

The electrochemical sensors are described below:

A. Nitrogen Dioxide sensor (NO2)

This is a three-electrode sensor that responds to nitrogen dioxide gas. Nitrogen dioxide is a “sticky”
gas and this sensor’s response is usually the slowest of all sensors.

B. Sulfur Dioxide sensor (SO2)

It is a three-electrode sensor that responds to sulfur dioxide gas. It is equipped with an inboard filter to
remove interference from H2S gas and other acidic gases.

C. Nitric Oxide sensor (NO sensor)

This is also a three-electrode sensor that responds to nitric oxide. It is equipped with an inboard filter
to remove any interference from other acidic gases.

The nitric oxide sensor requires a constant bias-voltage for proper operation. This is supplied by the
monitor’s battery. If the battery voltage drops below a certain value the monitor will turn off
automatically to maintain the sensor bias. If, however, the battery voltage further drops to near zero,
one must wait 24 hours after connecting the battery charger, for the sensor bias to recover.

D. Oxygen sensor (O2 sensor)

This sensor measures the oxygen concentration in the sample. It is a two-electrode electrochemical cell.
It has a silver cathode and a lead anode. Oxygen diffuses through a tiny hole and reacts with the lead
anode. The reaction produces an electric current. The unit software linearizes the current vs. oxygen
response. The cell becomes exhausted when all the lead is consumed.

E. Hydrogen Sulfide sensor. (H2S)

This is a 4-series three-electrode micro sensor with low methanol interference. It measures the
concentration of hydrogen sulfide, which is a highly toxic gas. Special precautions must be taken during
calibration.

1.800.561.8187 www. .com information@itm.com


Page 13 of 42
F. Carbon Monoxide sensor (CO)

This is also a three-electrode sensor that responds to carbon monoxide. It is equipped with an inboard
filter to remove any interference from other acidic gases.

G. Formaldehyde (CH2O)

This is also a three-electrode sensor that responds to formaldehyde. It is equipped with an inboard filter
to remove any interference from other acidic gases.

This sensor may have interference from H2S, H2, CO, and other reducing gases such as alcohols

In applications where the user is measuring both H2S and Formaldehyde, the Formaldehyde readings
could be inaccurate as the levels of H2S increase. Relative measurements could be appropriate in these
situations.

2. NDIR (INFRARED) SENSOR (CO2)

A non-dispersive infrared (or NDIR) sensor is a simple spectroscopic device most commonly used to
measure CO2 in indoor air quality applications. The main components are an infrared source (lamp), a
sample chamber or light tube, a wavelength sample chamber, and the CO2 gas concentration is
measured electro-optically by its absorption of a specific wavelength in the infrared (IR).

The NDIR options have the following specifications:

GAS RANGE ACCURACY

CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) 0 - 5000 ppm 2% of reading ±10 ppm

1.800.561.8187 www. .com information@itm.com


Page 14 of 42
3. PHOTO IONIZATION DETECTOR (PID) - VOCs
Photo ionization detectors are the most common method to measure volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) and other gases in indoor air quality in concentrations in parts per billion (PPB) and parts per
million (PPM).

The PID options have the following specifications:

GAS RANGE ACCURACY

VOCs* LOW (STANDARD) 0 - 20 000 ppb ±10% rdg ±20 ppb


0 - 46 000 μg/m³
VOCs* HIGH 0 - 200 ppm ±10% rdg ±2 ppm
0 - 460 mg/m³

*VOC sensor will not measure Formaldehyde. The ionization potential of the sensor is outside of the VOC sensor range. If you need
Formaldehyde, you need to use the direct CH2O sensor.

4. NON-GAS SENSORS

A. Ambient Temperature sensor

This is a NTC sensor located on the front panel of the monitor. The ambient temperature is
displayed on the MEASURE screen in either °F or °C. The dew point is calculated from the
ambient temperature and relative humidity. The dew point is displayed on the Small and
Large Font MEASURE screens as DPt.

B. Humidity sensor

This is a capacitive sensor located on the front panel of the monitor. The relative humidity is
displayed on the MEASURE screen in %RH (% Relative Humidity). The Wet Bulb is
calculated from the ambient temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure. The
wet bulb is displayed on the Large Font MEASURE screen only as WBT.

C. Barometric Pressure sensor

This is a piezoresistive sensor located at the front panel of the monitor. The barometric
pressure is displayed on the Small and Large Font MEASURE screens as BP.

1.800.561.8187 www. .com information@itm.com


Page 15 of 42
D. External temperature sensor (T1)

The thermocouple is located at the bottom right side of the monitor. It can be used with any
optional or separate Type K thermocouple probe and/or wire. The T1 temperature
measurements are displayed on the Large Font MEASURE screen only as T1.

E. Differential Pressure / Air Velocity sensor.

If the monitor comes with the Differential Pressure option and/or the air velocity option
(optional separate L-type Pitot tube and pressure tubing), the internal pressure sensor is a
very low range pressure sensor. The Velocity measurements are displayed on the MEASURE
screen only as VEL. Differential Pressure is displayed on the MEASURE screen only as ∆P.

F. Connecting Differential Pressure Hoses:

Connect Metal Hose Connections to either P+ or P- Connection as shown. P+ only will


give you Positive pressure; P- only will give you Negative pressure. Plug in both as shown
below for Differential Pressure.
All single & differential readings are shown on main MEASURE
screen as ∆P.

Button to get back to the Main Measurement screen once you are complete.

6) DUCT SIZE: (Velocity Option). Estimate the cross-section area of your Ducts in square inches (in2)
and set this value to obtain automatic & accurate Air Flow measurements in m/s or m3/min.

NOTE: When using the Velocity Feature on the SI-AQ VOC it is recommended to ZERO the
readings BEFORE using the Pitot tube to ensure proper Velocity measurements. See Chapter
9 for instructions on Zeroing the SI-AQ VOC. (Zero Gas Sensors)

Connecting Pitot Tube: In air conditioning, heating and ventilating work, it is helpful to understand
the techniques used to determine air velocity. In this field, air velocity (distance traveled per unit of
time) is usually expressed in meters per minute (m/min). By multiplying air velocity by the cross section
area of a duct, you can determine the air volume flowing past a point in the duct per unit of time.
Volume flow is usually measured in cubic feet per minute (m3/min). To make Air Velocity

CALIBRATION
NOTE: CO2 should ALWAYS be Span Calibrated or Zeroed with a Cylinder of ZERO AIR.
Do Not Use AQ CAL-ZF for CO2 sensor calibration.

Every instrument must occasionally be tested against some known value or standard in order to make sure that
its accuracy has not deteriorated. If the instrument is reading outside of the stated accuracies in this manual,
the unit should be calibrated.

If the unit is returned to Sauermann for Span Calibration, the unit will be shipped back after Calibration with a
new Calibration Certificate valid for one (1) year. If the unit is Span Calibrated in the field, the original
calibration certificate is no longer valid.

NOTE: Please take special care when performing Calibration of the monitor.
You cannot revert back to the factory setting after any adjustments!

The CALIBRATION MENU lets you set span calibration values for each sensor and performs all sensor
calibrations. The CALIBRATION MENU is shown below.

ZEROing VOC & Gas Sensors using Si-AQ VOC Zero Filter (with the exception of CO2) in
AMBIENT AIR CONDITIONS

Turn the unit and let the instrument WARM UP for a minimum of 5 minutes.

If the sensor has been stored for a significant amount of time, it may have been exposed to ambient
conditions that may cause the sensor to exhibit a drifting characteristic of the baseline signal. After
prolonged storage, it is recommended to power on the sensor for a period of time before operating it.
The detector will clean itself and the baseline signal will drop and stabilize. If the sensor is used on a
daily basis, the user should let it stabilize before use.

In order to zero the gas sensors (except CO2) in Ambient Air, insert the Si-AQ VOC Zero Filter filter
into the “Sample In” inlet “A” in the CENTER, 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.

In order to zero the gas sensors (except CO2) in Ambient Air, insert the Si-AQ VOC Zero Filter filter
into the Middle “Sample In” 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.

ZERO GAS SENSORS: This will set the zero point of CO, NO, CH2O, NO2, SO2, O2, H2S, and VOCs
values based on the cleaned air using the Si-AQ VOC Zero Filter.

Press the CALIB key and have the cursor (reverse color) point to

Zero Gas Sensors

1.800.561.8187 www. .com information@itm.com


Page 24 of 42
Press the OK key to execute a Zero cycle of all the gas sensors while the instrument is running in
ambient air. This procedure should last 60 seconds.

At the end of the zero period the AQ Expert reads the output of all gas sensors (with the exception of
the CO2 sensor) and sets them all to zero, with the exception of the Oxygen (O2) that it sets to 20.9%.

If no error messages appear at the end of the countdown, place the Si-AQ VOC Zero Filter into a
sealable bag to prevent moisture from entering it.
