Performing the response test
1.
Screw the regulator into the calibration cylinder.
NOTE:
Once you introduce the test sample to the transmitter, the Span screen “freezes”
and displays each “selected” channel’s highest reading. This feature enables you
to verify the readings at the Pioneer in addition to the “local” test at the
transmitter.
2.
When the reading on the voltmeter stabilizes, verify that the reading is within ± 10%
of the response reading you determined earlier.
NOTE:
If the readings are not within ± 10% of the correct response reading, calibrate the
affected transmitters as described in the Calibration section of this insert.
3.
Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder, then disassemble the calibration
kit as described in the Calibration section of this insert.
NOTE:
If the Pioneer’s display reading(s) is above the alarm 1 setpoint when you return
to the normal screen, the Pioneer will initiate the appropriate alarm condition.
You can view the reading(s) of the “selected” channels on the Fresh Air screen in
the Calibrate program.
To display the Fresh Air screen, press the ESCAPE button, next press the UP/YES
button, then press the ENTER button.
4.
Press the ESCAPE button until the Save screen appears.
5.
Press the ESCAPE button. A confirmation message displays, then the normal screen
appears.
NOTE:
The Pioneer does not save calibration values for remote transmitters. When
calibrating the transmitter, you perform calibration at the transmitter; therefore,
it is not necessary to save calibration values at the Pioneer.
The purpose of entering the Calibrate program when performing this response
test is to disable the status lights, buzzer, and relays and so you can view the
response reading(s) on the Span screen.
Quarterly
Calibrate the combustible gas transmitter as described in the Calibration section of this
insert.
