5.2 CALIBRATION 

The AMC-1222 sensor module is factory calibrated at levels based on set standards.  
Calibration of the module should last for the life of the sensor, with few periodic adjustments.  All 
on-site adjustments are made at each sensor module.  Recalibration is necessary when 
replacing the sensor.  Factory or on-site calibration services, customer training, and/or 
calibration adapter can be provided.  Specify each sensor module’s model number and gas 
when requesting any of the above. Refer to sections 2.1 Sensor module and/or 2.2 FACTORY 
CALIBRATION for any of the above required information. 
 

Notes:   

- The calibration procedure is the same whether the module is in current or voltage mode. 
Voltage is measured at the test points when the module is in either mode. 

 
 
Equipment Required: 

 Digital 

Multimeter 

  Miniature slot screw driver 

  CO and NO

 Calibration Adapters 

  Zero & Span gases and regulator (Contact factory for information) 

 

5.2.1  ZERO ADJUSTMENT (CO) 

Step 1 

Remove cover 

Step 2

 Power unit from 12-24VDC Supply, Ensure green power LED illuminates.  If power LED 

is flashing ensure EOL (end of line) Switch(es) are set correctly. 

Step 3 

Set multimeter to DC voltage range suitable for reading 2.00VDC 

Step 4 

Connect Multimeter to COM(-) and TP2 as shown in 

Figure 5-1

  

Step 5  

Apply Zero gas @ 1L/min 

Step 6 

After  signal  reading  has  stabilized  (approx  1  min)  adjust  Zero  Potentiometer  to                    

 0.00VDC 

Step 7 

Remove calibration gas 

 

5.2.2  SPAN ADJUSTMENT FOR (CO) 100 PPM (AMC1222-1 AND -2 VARIANTS) 

Step 8 

Apply CO span gas, CO span gas concentration should be in 25ppm to 100ppm CO 

 range 

Step 9 

After the signal reading has stabilized (approx 3 min) adjust Span potentiometer   to 

 

2.00VDC/100*Span gas concentration. i.e. if using 50 ppm CO  

 2.00VDC/100*50=1.00VDC 

 

Step 10 

If Signal > .7VDC verify CO Alarm LED Flashes, If Signal > 2.00VDC verify CO Alarm  

LED Illuminates steady State 

Step 11 

Remove Gas, Calibration complete
