8:  GENERAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

1.

  The detector must not be in alarm or fault condition. 

2.

  Calibration gas must be in balance of air, 

not

 Nitrogen (N

2

).

3.

  Attach the pressure regulator to the calibration gas cylinder.

4.

  Fit calibration adapter to the cover plate.

5.

  The gas flow should be approximately 0.3 to 1.0 L/min.

6.

  If operation is intended to be at higher altitudes, the factory calibration 

will result in a reading lower than the reading at sea level (reduced partial 

pressure).  A new span adjustment is recommended if the altitude or the 

ambient pressure is changed. The factory calibration is set to sea level.

7.  Connect the tubing to the barbed fitting.

8B.  SPAN ADJUSTMENT

WARNING:  

Ambient air can be used to zero the 

sensor instead of synthetic air only if the area is 

known to be free of the target gas or any gas to which 

the sensor may be cross-sensitive. In this case, no 

cylinder or calibration adapter is needed for the zero 

adjustment.

8.    Tap and hold ( • ) for >5 seconds.  The LED will blink

 

green-green-red when the detector is ready.

9.    Apply synthetic air (or use ambient air per warning above).

10.   Tap ( 

• ) within 30 seconds to confirm start of calibration.

 

Otherwise the detector will time-out and return to normal

 

operation.

11.  As the process progresses, the LED will blink green-red,

 

green-red-red, green-red-red-red, etc.  

 

•  To abort calibration, tap and hold ( • ) for >5 seconds,

 

  turn off gas flow and remove the calibration adapter.

 

  The detector will return to normal operation.

 

•  If calibration is successful (green LED), skip to step 12.

 

•  If calibration is unsuccessful (orange LED blinks @ 2 Hz),

 

  then tap ( 

• ) to discard the calibration attempt, and see

 

  User Manual (P/N 6203-9000) for troubleshooting.

12.  Turn off gas flow from synthetic air.
13.  Replace synthetic air tank with calibration gas tank in

 

preparation for span adjustment.

(

≈ 6 minutes)

14.  Tap and hold ( 

•• ) for >5 seconds.  The LED will blink

 

green-green-orange when the detector is ready.

15.  Apply span gas in the concentration listed on the cal gas 

 

concentration label (beneath the detector’s cover plate). 

 

This may require the temporary removal of the bezel and

 

cover plate to see the label.

16. Tap 

•• )

 within 30 seconds to confirm initiation of

 

the calibration.  Otherwise the detector will time-out and

 

return to normal operation.

17.  As the calibration process progresses, the LED will blink

 

green-orange, green-orange-orange,

 

green-orange-orange-orange, etc. 

 

•  To abort calibration, tap and hold 

•• ) for >5 seconds

,

 

  turn off gas flow and remove the calibration adapter.

 

  The detector will return to normal operation.

 

•  If calibration is successful, the LED will blink

 

  green-orange-red indicating ‘offline’).   Turn off gas flow  

 

  and remove the calibration adapter.  Afte

r 6 minutes

  

the detector will return to normal operation.

 

•  If calibration is unsuccessful (orange LED blinks @ 2 Hz),

 

  then tap ( 

•• ) to discard the calibration attempt, and

 

  see User Manual (P/N 6203-9000) for troubleshooting.

 

  Turn off gas flow and remove the calibration adapter.

  

Afte

r 6 minutes the detector will return to normal 

 

 operation.

1. 

Inform building personnel of test so that certain alarms

 

may be inhibited (e.g., shutdown valves, notification of 

 

authorities, etc.).

2. 

Connect adapter and target gas according to instructions in

 

General Calibration Procedure.

3. 

Apply a sufficiently high concentration of target gas to

 

trigger alarms, but not pure refrigerant or hydrocarbons

 

(e.g., do not use a butane lighter).

4. 

Once the alarm thresholds are exceeded, all designated

 

gas alarm relays will be activated and the digital outputs 

 

will transmit the corresponding gas concentrations.

5. 

Turn off gas flow and remove calibration adapter.
