insert the metal adapter into the regular gas inlet probe of the
instrument and the tubing to the gas regulator on the gas bottle.
Calibration Regulator
The Calibration Regulator is used in the calibration process. It
regulates the gas flow rate from the Span gas cylinder into the gas
inlet of the instrument during calibration process. The maximum flow
rate allowed by the flow controller is about 0.5L/min (500 cc per
min.). Alternatively, a demand-flow regulator or a Tedlar gas bag
may be used to match the pump flow precisely.
Organic Vapor Zeroing Kit
The Organic Vapor Zeroing Kit is used for filtering organic air
contaminants that may affect the zero calibration reading. To use the
Organic Vapor Zeroing Kit, simply connect the filter to the inlet port
of the instrument.
Travel Charger
WARNING
A battery charging circuit is built into the mini charger. It only needs a
regular AC to 12 VDC adapter (wall-mount transformer, part number 500-
0114-000) to charge the instrument.
To charge the battery:
1.
Power off the instrument.
2.
Connect the AC adapter to the DC jack on the instrument’s
Travel Charger or Charger Stand. If the instrument is off, it
automatically turns on.
3.
While charging, the display message shows “Charging.”
4.
When the battery is fully charged, the message “Fully charged”
appears on the display.
A completely discharged instrument can be charged to full capacity
within 8 hours. Batteries drain slowly even if an instrument is off.
