NOTE: The following procedure assumes that the target gas is present in

a high enough concentration to affect the fresh air (zero) reading.
If a fresh air environment can be verified, applying zero air to the
detector is not necessary when setting the zero reading.

This section describes how to calibrate the H

S detectors. It includes

procedures to prepare for calibration, set the fresh air reading, set the span
reading, and return to normal operation. It describes calibration using a
calibration kit that includes calibration gas, sample tubing, and a fixed flow
regulator with an on/off knob. RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends using a
0.5 LPM (liters per minute) fixed flow regulator. The calibration cup/splash
guard is part of the detector assembly in the Rig Monitor.
