memory

Before calibrating a particular filter, one of the filter’s banks is made

active (by operating the Monitor in Set-Up mode and “entering” the

chosen filter-bank number for the filter being calibrated). The filter

bank No. which is made active before the filter is calibrated, is the

filter bank where the Monitor will store calibration factors calculated

during calibration. This means that the user is able to calibrate any

particular optical filter to measure up to five different gases.

If a particular filter is to measure more than one gas, it is therefore

necessary to span calibrate it with each of the gases it is to

measure. For example, if you refer to the “Gas Detection Limits”

wall chart you will see that the filter UA 0988 can be used to meas-

ure

Sulphur hexafluoride

The filter UA 0988 is installed in position “A” of the filter carousel to

measure the above gas. Before this filter is calibrated, the Monitor

has to be told where to store the calibration factors which are

calculated during the calibration procedure. This is done by selecting

a FILTER BANK NO. – in the active set-up for Filter A each time the
