Apply zero gas (clean air) adjust the ZERO (VRES1) potentiometer until the display

reading is 00.0. (Remember that the 4-20 mA signal may be set to a different

range.)

Apply an appropriate span gas (e.g. 2.5% CH4 = 50% LEL CH4), and adjust the

GAIN (VRES2) potentiometer to get the correct reading on the display.

Note: If the Auto-zero is enabled, you must perform the AUTOZERO | Clear

function to reset the Auto-zero history in memory.

2.4.3 Calibration Errors
If the gas flow was not sufficient, or the bayonet adapter was too loosely applied,

the gas concentration in the sensor will stabilize at an incorrect low value. Repeat

the calibration procedure if you suspect an incorrect calibration.

3. Faults

3.1 Self-check Faults

The microprocessor monitors a number of operational values for faults, and will

display each occurrence for two seconds as follows:

Where XXX is a fault code.

The unit will automatically restart and continue normal operation if the fault

occurred due to a temporary intrusion (e.g.: Radio frequency interference or water

condensation formed due to fast temperature change).

A fault shown repeatedly indicates malfunction of the unit. In such cases the fault

code should be recorded and the unit returned for repair.

When a fault is detected, the output is dropped to 0.0 mA and both relays are

deactivated.

The only Self Check Faults which can be field addressed are those which refer to

problems with the sensor (fault codes 040 through 042 for sensor faults, and 048

through 050 for calibration faults):

Check that the sensor is installed in the sensor socket correctly.

Replace sensor. If the fault is removed, then re-calibrate.

Return unit to Factory.

Note: To calibrate the unit, it may be necessary enter the menu system

while the unit is cycling through a fault display, trying to recover

normal operation. To enter the menu system in this state,

immediately press any key and hold after hearing the turn-on beep,
