Transmitter • 9
test point labeled TP-.
7. Use the following formula to determine the correct test points output for the test
sample.
Output (mV) = (calibrating sample/fullscale) X 400 + 100
For example, with a test sample of 2.5% CO
2
and a fullscale setting of 5% CO
2
, the
correct output is 300 mV.
300 (mV) = (2.5/5) X 400 +100
Performing the response test
1. Screw the regulator into the calibration cylinder.
2. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.
3. Allow the gas to flow for one minute.
4. Verify that the reading is within ± 20% of the response reading you determined earlier.
NOTE: If the reading is not within ± 20% of the correct response reading, calibrate the
transmitter as described in “Calibration” on page 13 of this manual.
5. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator.
6. Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder.
7. Unscrew the calibration cup from the detector.
8. Remove the voltmeter leads from the amplifier test points.
9. Reinstall the junction box cover.
10. When the controller display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the
controller to normal operation.
11. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe place.
