Preliminary checks before taking readings (best practice)
Prior to use, it is good practice to ensure
that:
Step 1
If using GAM - all necessary ID
codes and information have been
uploaded from GAM to the
analyser.
Step 2
The instrument has the correct
time and date set.
Step 3
The water trap filter is fitted and
is clean and dry.
Step 4
The battery has a good charge
(minimum 25% charge, even if
only a few readings are required).
Step 5
The channels have been zeroed,
without gas concentration present.
Step 6
If necessary check the span
calibration with a known
concentration calibration gas.
Step 7
