25.6 Calibrating CO
2
For sidestream and microstream CO
2
modules, a calibration is needed every year or when the
measured values have a great deviation. For maintream CO
2
module, no calibration is
needed.
Tools required:
„ Gas bottle, with 3%, 4%, 5%, 6% or 7% of CO
2
.
„
T-shape connector
„ Tubing
Follow this procedure to perform a calibration:
1. Make sure that the CO
2
module has been warmed up or started up.
2. Select [

4. Connect the gas bottle with the tubing using a T-shape connector as shown below.
Check the airway and make sure there are no leaks.
5. Vent the tubing to the CO
2
opening the gas valve.
6. In the [
Calibrate CO2
] menu, enter the vented CO
2
concentration in the [
CO2
] field.
7. In the [
Maintain CO2
] menu, the measured CO
2
concentration, barometric pressure,
sensor temperature and current flowrate are displayed. After the measured CO
2
concentration becomes stable, select [
Calibrate CO2
] to calibrate the CO
2
module.
8. If the calibration is finished successfully, the message [
Calibration Completed!
] is
displayed. If the calibration failed, the message [
Calibration Failed!
] is displayed.
