7.
Unscrew the regulator from the 4-gas calibration cylinder.
8.
For convenience, leave the regulator attached to the sample tubing.
Setting the Fresh Air Reading
CAUTION:
This procedure may cause alarms at the controller. Take appropriate action to avoid
this, such as entering the calibration mode at the controller.
NOTE:
If you can verify a fresh air environment, it is not necessary to use the zero air
calibration cylinder to set the zero reading.
1.
Screw the regulator into the zero air calibration cylinder.
2.
Connect the calibration kit sample tubing to the regulator.
3.
Connect the sample tubing from the regulator to the inlet line at or near the INLET
fitting.
4.
Allow the gas to flow for one minute.
5.
Verify a voltmeter reading of 434 mV ± 2 mV at the test points as described in the
Preparing for Calibration section above.
6.
If necessary, use a small flat-blade screwdriver to adjust the zero pot until the
voltmeter reading is 434 mV ± 2 mV.
7.
Disconnect the sample tubing from the inlet line.
8.
Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder. Leave the sample tubing
connected to the regulator.
Returning to Normal Operation
1.
Reconnect the incoming sample line.
2.
Wait 1 to 2 minutes to allow the calibration gas to be drawn out and the reading to
stabilize.
3.
Close the housing door.
4.
Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place.
Calibration, H

S and CO Detectors
This section describes how to calibrate the H
2
S and CO detectors in the sample-draw
detector. It includes procedures to prepare for calibration, set the zero reading for each
channel, set the response reading for each channel, and return to normal operation.
NOTE:
This procedure describes calibration using a demand flow regulator, a zero air
calibration cylinder, and a 4-gas calibration cylinder.
Preparing for Calibration
CAUTION:
This procedure may cause alarms at the controller. Take appropriate action to avoid
this, such as entering the calibration mode at the controller.
