5.3.1.1 GLOBAL CALIBRATION

Proceed with the following steps to perform Global
Calibration.

Step

1

Begin

ZERO

value read.

ENTER TO ZERO

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Press

ENTER

to start the controller recording the

zero signal value for all modules of the selected
gas type.

2

Complete

ZERO

value read.

APPLY ZERO GAS

ENTER WHEN DONE

The upper display will cycle through all the
applicable module numbers with

"00"

displayed as

the level.

Example "1. 00", "2 00" etc.

If any module has not been previously
calibrated the "00" will be replaced by a "--".

If any sensor is not known to be in clean air at
this time, go to each such sensor which is to be
calibrated and deliver clean air at 100 cc/min
for three minutes using the apparatus in
Section 5.3.2.

Wait until the display cycles through all module
numbers.

Press

ENTER

to complete the zero read and the

display will advance to the span prompt.

3

Begin

SPAN

value read

ENTER TO SPAN

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

Press

ENTER

to begin the span process. The top

display begins to cycle through all sensor module
numbers which are configured for the selected
calibration gas. Each module number will show a
"period" immediately after the number and a
numerical concentration display as in the
following example.

[1. 00] [2. 00].

LEL

ENTER WHEN DONE

Apply calibration gas to each sensor which is to
be calibrated using the apparatus in Section 5.3.2.
Use magnetic or non magnetic calibration gas
delivery fitting.

During the time calibration gas is being delivered
the upper display on the controller will continue
to cycle through all applicable module numbers.
The module responding to gas will generally show
an increasing reading on each pass.

to indicate completion of the span

process. If all modules have been successfully
calibrated the controller will begin the three
minute time delay before placing modules back on
line

If any modules were missed, or if any sensors
failed to respond correctly to the calibration gas
the low sensitivity message will identify those
sensor module numbers. If calibration of the
module was attempted, note the number and plan
corrective action as described in Section 7.

again. If all modules have been

successfully calibrated the controller will begin
the three minute time delay before placing
modules back on line. If any modules were
displayed as

LOW

, they will be

displayed again as

NOT CALIBRATED

. Press

Return to Operate Mode

PRESS ENTER TO

and the procedure is complete. Repeat the

process as necessary to recalibrate modules or to
calibrate other gases.

Remove all calibration apparatus from sensors.
