Custom calibration (cc/sec leak rate units)

CAUTION

Do not breathe on the probe. The GasCheck G3 can detect changes in humidity and carbon dioxide and 
significant errors in the calibration will result.

Read the instructions below fully before calibrating the GasCheck G3. The following procedure should be followed if
the GasCheck G3 has been set to cc/sec .

Note:

Calibration of the GasCheck G3 in cc/sec leak rate units requires the use of a portable reference leak. 
Contact Edwards for more details. 

Table 5 - Calibration of the GasCheck G3 (cc/sec leak rate units)

Ensure the pressure on the portable reference leak is set correctly.
Select the calibration procedure on the main menu (refer to 

Section 4.4

).

Select custom cal by using the        or        key to move the 'tick' to '     ' 
icon and press the         key.

Instrument will take a few seconds to zero and then the 'Ready' screen 
will appear. 

Fully insert the probe into the portable reference leak and press the         
key. The GasCheck G3 will sequence through the cold and hot stages of 
calibration and will display a summary of values.
