Calibration
Factory Calibration is required at least once every 12 months to replace the electrochemical
oxygen sensor.
6.1
Readout check
It is recommended that a readout check is performed on a routine basis as part of emergency
equipment checks and drills.
The readout check can either be performed using certified test gases or in a verified
atmosphere. The SUB MkIIP should be turned on and allowed to warm up (at least 40
seconds) before readings are taken. Test gases should be piped as described in Section 6.2.
Atmospheric measurements should be made in an atmosphere whose constituents have
been measured by verified O
2
, CO
2
and pressure sensors (e.g. CAMS).
Once the readings on the SUB MkIIP have settled, take readings for O
2
, CO
2
and pressure. If
using certified test gases, the readings should be within the tolerances in the center column of
the table below. When the SUB MkIIP is being verified against a CAMS verified atmosphere,
use the right hand column as a guideline to the acceptable tolerance. Also ensure that the
SUB MkIIP is sampling the atmosphere from the same compartment as the CAMS.
To convert the CAMS Gas reading from units of Torr to %SEV, use the following formula:

Applicable Readout Tolerance
If the readings are outside these tolerances the SUB MkIIP requires calibration.
