Calibrate

Select the sub menu Calibrate.

1. Press Enter. The display shows Expose

to background and press Start.

2. Expose the probe to background

air, press Start, or the button on
the probe, to begin the calibration
procedure.

3. An increase in the length of bar

can be seen on the display during
calibration. While the bar is moving,
expose the probe to the calibration
gas or reference leak. The display
then shows Gas Detected.

4. Remove the calibration gas at the

latest when the bar reaches its end
position.

NOTE: The instrument must be calibrated to ensure it displays the correct

values in Analysis Mode. Before calibration the Calibration Coefficient must

be set correctly as described in ”Leak Rate Unit and Calibration Coefficient”
on p. 35.

When starting calibration, the sensor must not sense gas, i.e. no measured

value should be displayed in Analysis Mode.

Regarding the interval between calibration occasions, etc., see ”Calibration
messages” on p. 37.

NOTE:

The probe does not have

to be exposed to calibration gas

during the whole Calibration

Time (while the bar is moving).

The instrument only measures

the change as the probe goes

from background air to calibra-

tion gas.

NOTE:

If the message ”No Gas or

Unstable Signal” is displayed re-

peatedly — go back to Detection

Mode and check functionality.
