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 LEL and H

2

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.
