2. Allow 2 minutes for the combustibles sensor to stabilize.
3. Perform the demand zero procedure as described in “Preparing
for Calibration” on page 42.
Monitoring Combustible Gases Other Than Hexane
Use Table 7 to determine the concentration of combustible gases other
than hexane. This table is based on the Eagle being in methane
elimination mode (methane elimination switch set to HEX ON) and
calibrated to hexane. Multiply the display reading by the factor in the
appropriate column. For example, if you are using the Eagle to detect
toluene and the display reads 10% LEL, the actual toluene reading is
10% x 0.67 = 7% LEL toluene.
To determine the concentration of other combustible gases with the
Eagle in full response mode and calibrated to methane, see Table 4 on
page 13.
