This table stand is an accessory for the portable room air quality meter CA 1510 by Chauvin Arnoux. It serves as a stable and mobile base for the device and is specifically designed for use with the white model of the CA 1510 as a replacement part and with the black model as an accessory. The device itself measures room air quality based on CO2 concentration, temperature, and relative humidity, with CO2 measurement ranging from 0 to 5,000 ppm at a resolution of 1 ppm. Accuracy is ± 50 ppm ± 3 % of the measured value. Display is via a large, dual-colour backlight that shows different colours depending on the measurement value to visually indicate air quality. Additionally, an acoustic alarm can be triggered when defined threshold values are exceeded (e.g. 1000 ppm for moderate, 1700 ppm for high restriction).

Applications

The CA 1510 is used indoors to monitor air quality, particularly in rooms with high visitor traffic such as schools, hospitals, offices or public transport. CO2 concentration serves as an indicator for ventilation efficiency, as elevated values indicate insufficient fresh air supply. The table stand enables flexible placement of the device on desks, tables or other flat surfaces, ensuring optimal measurement positioning.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The table stand is made of metal and features the CHAUVIN ARNOUX logo on the front. The magnetic back of the CA 1510 device ensures secure and stable attachment to the stand. The design is compact and mobile, allowing the stand to be easily transported and positioned at various locations. The combination of magnet and metallic holder ensures secure fastening without additional mounting devices.

Technology Explained Simply

Measurement is performed by the CA 1510 device, which detects CO2 concentration, temperature and relative humidity. Values are displayed on a screen with backlighting. In mode 1D, CO2 content is shown as an index for used air, with visual and acoustic alarms triggered when defined thresholds are exceeded. In mode 3D, the optimal comfort zone based on hygrometric criteria and CO2 concentration is displayed. The energy-saving function (ECO) enables battery operation for one year by performing measurements every 10 minutes within a programmable time period.

Compatibility and Accessories

The table stand is specifically developed for the CA 1510 measuring device and is compatible with the white model as a replacement part and the black model as an accessory.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting the table stand is done by simply placing it on a flat surface. The CA 1510 device is automatically fixed via its magnetic back. No additional mounting aids or tools are required. Positioning is flexible and can be adjusted as needed at various locations in the room.

Operational Advantages

The table stand provides stable and secure positioning of the CA 1510 device, ensuring measurement accuracy. Its mobile design allows flexible use at different locations. The magnetic fastening ensures secure hold without additional mounting devices. The combination of simple design and practical functionality makes the stand a useful accessory for daily use of the CA 1510 in various applications.

Operating Software

The standard operating software enables graphical display of measurement values, tabular output, data export, real-time mode, and report generation. The software is available for PC and Android tablets and supports evaluation of measured data.

Power Supply

The CA 1510 device can be operated with two 1.5V LR6 batteries or rechargeable batteries. Alternatively, power supply is possible via the included power adapter or via Micro-USB. The energy-saving function (ECO) enables one year of autonomy in battery operation.

Interfaces

Two communication modes are available: wireless Bluetooth connection and USB connection. In USB mode, the device is recognised as a USB stick, enabling simple and fast data transfer to a PC or Android tablet.

Mounting Options

The CA 1510 device offers multiple mounting options: an integrated magnet, a wall mounting system, a slot for hanging, and the option to place it on the table stand.

Recording Function

The device features a recorder function that enables programmed recordings (P_REC). Start date, recording frequency and end date can be adjusted via PC software or Android application. A screen lock in recording mode is possible, so no measurement values are displayed. Manual recording (M_REC) can be started and stopped directly on the device. Recording occurs at the frequency of the current mode.

Display and User Interface

The CA 1510 display includes values for CO2, temperature and relative humidity. The backlight is dual-colour and visually indicates air quality. Additionally, a Hold function and Min/Max display are available. Temperature units can be switched between °C and °F. An integrated buzzer triggers acoustic alarms when threshold values are exceeded.

Scope of Delivery

The table stand is delivered with an operating manual.

Software and Data Transmission

Data transmission occurs via USB or Bluetooth. The software enables graphical display of measurement values, tabular output, export to Excel, report generation, and calculation of the index for used air based on human occupancy duration.

Well-being and Health

CO2 is a colourless, odourless gas that can cause headaches and attention disturbances at high concentrations. Temperature and relative humidity also influence well-being and can lead to mould growth and respiratory irritation. The CA 1510 takes these factors into account in evaluating room air quality.
