Calibrating the Model GX-2001
with the Calibration Station
The GX-2001 Data Logging Software allows you to calibrate the
Model GX-2001 using the GX-2001 Calibration Station.
During the calibration process, you set the zero and span
readings for the Model GX-2001. You can accomplish this task
by using the Automatic Calibration feature in the Download
window.
Precautions
During the calibration process, you may be using low levels of
both toxic and combustible gases. Follow all the safety
procedures established by your company. Read all the
instructions in this section carefully before calibrating the Model
GX-2001. If possible perform calibration procedures under an
exhaust hood. And make sure that the exhaust tubing connected
to the Cal Out hose barb (maximum of 10 feet long) on the GX-
2001 Calibration Station leads to an environment outside and
away from ventilation and air conditioning ducts. For more
information about the safe handling of calibration gases, please
read the material safety data sheets for your calibration cylinder
which are available from RKI Instruments Inc. upon request.
Required Items for Calibration
GX-2001 Calibration Station. Efficient calibration is made
possible by the GX-2001 Calibration Station. This unit has a
charger and calibration adapter mounted on top of its cabinet for
the convenient calibrating of Model GX-2001 units. The front
panel of the GX-2001 Calibration Station has four square LEDs
plus a flow meter that provide valuable information about the
calibration process. For more information about the GX-2001
Calibration Station, see “Overview of the GX-2001 Calibration
Station.”
GX-2001 Data Logging Software. This software makes it
possible to down load and store data contained in the Model
GX-2001, and it controls the calibration process.
