The D-Guard² has a trend bar to show the detected rate of change of the applied gas. 

The trend bar has seven different positions and provides a clear visual indication of 

the rate of change of the detected gas concentration levels.

15.4 Calibration Trend Bar

The D-Guard² has two calibration modes, Auto and Manual.
The Auto calibration mode checks that the rate of change of the detected gas has 

decreased to less than ± 0.1% of full scale per second, and adjusts the D-Guard² 

response automatically.
The Manual calibration mode allows the user to adjust the D-Guard² calibration when 

the response has stabilised. 
Use the Trend Bar to determine when the rate of change of the detected gas has 

decreased to less than ± 0.1% of full scale per second.
