INFICON MicroFID II Portable Flame Ionization Detector - Manual (Page 36)

Operational Check List
Before beginning field work, set up and calibrate the MicroFID II for your particular application. Ensure the
instrument is in working order before heading into the field.
To prepare the MicroFID II for field work
1. You should not transport the MicroFID II with the hydrogen fuel cylinder attached to the
MicroFID II. Remove the hydrogen fuel cylinder from the MicroFID II and package it individually
for transport.
2. Press the SETUP key and ensure the correct date and time are entered.
3. Program and calibrate all the Cal Memories you will be using. After calibration is complete,
sample the bag of calibration gas and the bag of zero air to ensure the MicroFID II has been
calibrated correctly.
4. If you are using an averaging interval, you may also want to delete all events from the
datalogger to avoid confusion between different days’ data and to avoid running out of space in
the datalogger.
5. If you are performing Method 21 monitoring, ensure you have programmed and
calibrated all the Cal Memories. You must also program your monitoring schedule.
