16 • 65-2442RK PPM Hydrogen Transmitter
NOTE: Calibrating the ppm hydrogen transmitter may cause alarms. Be sure to put the
controller into its calibration program or disable external alarms before
continuing.
Setting the Zero Reading
NOTE: If you can verify that the ppm hydrogen 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. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.
3. 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).
4. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator.
5. Unscrew the regulator from the zero air calibration cylinder. Leave the sample
humidifier tube 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 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 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
humidifer tube.
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 ppm.
6. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place.
