zero air was used, disconnect the humidifier from the probe.

Performing a Dry Fresh Air Adjustment

This section describes how to perform a fresh air adjustment on the
PPM combustible gas sensor using the DRY setting. Use the DRY
setting with a zero air calibration cylinder for a biannual calibration.

NOTE:

It is recommended that you perform a fresh air adjust on the
ppm sensor using a zero air cylinder and the DRY setting
followed by a fresh air adjustment using the WET setting once
every 6 months to maintain the accuracy of the ppm
combustible gas reading. See “Performing a Wet Fresh Air
Adjustment” on page 212 for instructions to perform a WET
fresh air adjustment.
