Setting the Zero Reading
NOTE:
If you can verify that the methane transmitter is in a fresh air environment, you
do not need to apply zero air to the detector before adjusting the zero reading.
1.
Screw the regulator into the zero air calibration cylinder.
2.
Use the calibration kit sample tubing to connect the regulator to the calibration cup.
3.
Turn the regulator’s on/off knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.
4.
Allow the gas to flow for one minute and verify a reading of 100 mV (±2 mV). If
necessary, use the zero pot on the amplifier to adjust the reading to 100 mV (±2 mV).
5.
Turn the regulator’s on/off knob clockwise to close the regulator.
6.
Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder.
7.
Leave the sample tubing connected to the regulator and the calibration cup.
Setting the Response Reading
1.
Screw the regulator into the calibration cylinder. Verify that the calibration gas is
representative of the transmitter’s target gas.
2.
Turn the regulator’s on/off knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.
3.
Allow the calibration gas to flow for one minute and verify that the reading matches
the response reading (±2 mV) you determined earlier. If necessary, use the span pot on
the amplifier to adjust the reading to match the correct response reading.
4.
Turn the regulator’s on/off knob clockwise to close the regulator.
5.
Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder.
Returning to Normal Operation
1.
Remove the voltmeter leads from the amplifier test points.
2.
Unscrew the calibration cup from the detector.
NOTE:
For convenience, leave the regulator and calibration cup connected by the
sample tubing.
3.
Secure the junction box cover to the junction box.
4.
When the controller display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the
controller to normal operation.
5.
Verify that the controller display reading decreases and stabilizes at 0 %Vol.
6.
Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place.
