7.1.4 Calibration Frequency
• Parking garage detectors: Once every 12 months
• OHS applications: Once every 6 months (OHS: Occupational Health & Safety)
• For best performance and to meet published specifi cations: once every six months
NOTE:
A calibration label should be applied after every calibration to confi rm work performed and
the date it was confi rmed. If a controller is involved, the alarm set points should be indicated on a
label on the front door of the enclosure so anyone working in the environment can be aware.
Equipment: Calibration Kit, Calibration gases, Digital multi-meter, magnetic wand
Users can order the Calibration Kit, calibration accessories and / or gases (shipping restrictions may
apply) from any CETCI authorized distributor or they can supply their own gas and equipment as
long as the gas meets the minimum specifi cations. CETCI does not ship gases outside of Canada.
7.1.5 Gas Testing Frequency (Bump Testing)
For the purpose of safety in OHS applications, sensors should be gas tested (bump tested) once
every month to confi rm response and alarm activation.
7.1.6 Non-Intrusive Calibration
Calibration can normally performed without opening the unit by using a magnetic wand to engage
the magnetic switches that are on the side of the enclosure. Refer to Section
4.1 Exterior Enclosure
for location photo. This is particularly useful if in a wet or dirty environment. A magnet of suffi cient
strength will be required to trip the sensors. Such a magnet is included in the Calibration Kit
(see Section
8.4 Calibration Kit
and can also be ordered separately from CETCI under part number
CET-MW
.
To initiate non-intrusive calibration, touch the magnet to one of the marks on the side of the
enclosure and follow the screen prompts along with the instructions in this section.
