2. Allow one to two minutes for the output to stabilize (i.e reach its ambient air concentration 

value and remain at the value). An independent portable oxygen analyzer can be used to 

check this.

3. Observe the O

4. Place the MagTip on the Minox i main housing, adjacent to the red indicator LED, as shown 

in 

Figure 8

 below.

The indicator LED will begin to flash rapidly.
