11.5.2 Multi-Sensor Span Calibration
This lets you perform a span calibration on multiple sensors simultaneously. It requires using the
appropriate span gas and that the concentration labeled on the gas cylinder matches the concentration
programmed in the MultiRAE.
For a multi-sensor span calibration, a constant-flow regulator producing 0.5 to 1 liters per minute should
be used, and the calibration adapter must be installed on the instrument. Testing and calibration with an
AutoRAE 2 must be performed using demand-flow regulators. A calibration adapter must not be used.
Teflon tubing must be used to test or calibrate the PID sensor. Follow the steps described here to perform
a multi-sensor span calibration:
1.
Attach the calibration adapter and connect gas to the MultiRAE.
2.
Start the flow of gas and then either press [Y/+] to begin calibration or wait for calibration to start
automatically once the sensor “senses” the gas. A countdown screen is shown. You can abort the
calibration at any time during the countdown by pressing [N/-].
If the calibration reaches its conclusion, it shows the sensor names and tells you whether the calibration
passed or failed, followed by the sensor readings.
Note:
If there are other sensors to be calibrated at this stage, the screens will guide you through the
process.
