8. Performing A Calibration
All portable instruments must be calibrated periodically in accordance with national and
regional regulations, but no less frequently than every 180 days. Always perform a full
calibration after replacing a sensor, using a new instrument for the first time, or if the
instrument has been unused for a long period of time. In addition, if the instrument has
failed a bump test, perform a full calibration as well.
1.
Connect calibration gas cylinders that match the gas settings configured on the
Cradle (as specified for Bottles 15 and 16 under Gas Config 8; see Section 12.1).
2.
Insert an instrument in the AutoRAE 2 Cradle (as described in Section 6.5) and
wait for it to warm up (as described in Section 6.10).
3.
When the instrument is warmed up (both LEDs are glowing green), press “Cal” to
initiate a calibration. The Cradle produces a beep to signal the start of the
calibration process.
4.
The Cal LED flashes green when a calibration in under way. The Bump LED
stays dark.
5.
If a calibration completes successfully, the Cal LED will turn solid green.
Note:
See page 32 for an explanation of the LED indications that tell you which
operations are underway and which LED indications tell you of errors during calibration.
