Calibration Gas Response Memory Feature
The M2A-XL has the capability to “remember” the detector’s response to the calibration gas after
the gas is removed from the detector during the fresh air and span adjustment procedure. This
feature enables one person to perform calibration if the detector is mounted remotely from the
M2A-XL. When zero air is applied to the M2A-XL during a fresh air adjustment, the M2A-XL
will freeze the display reading at the lowest response and the M2A-XL will continue to display
this reading and retain it in its memory until the fresh air adjustment procedure is completed.
When calibration gas is applied to the M2A-XL during a span adjustment, the M2A-XL will
freeze the display reading at the highest response to the calibration gas. The calibration gas can
then be removed and the M2A-XL will continue to display this reading and retain it in its memory
until the span adjustment procedure is completed.
Adjusting the Fresh Air Reading
1. While in normal operation, press and hold the UP/YES button for 5 seconds to enter
Calibration Mode. Release the button when the following screen appears.
2. If you want to continue with calibration, press and release the UP/YES button. The display

4. Screw the zero air cylinder into the fixed flow regulator.
5. Use the flexible tubing coming from the calibration adapter/splash guard to connect the
regulator to the calibration adapter.
6. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.
7. Allow zero air to flow for the length of time determined in “Determining Response Time” on
8. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator.
9. Unscrew the zero air cylinder from the fixed flow regulator. Leave the calibration adapter/
splash guard’s flexible tubing connected to the regulator. The M2A-XL will continue to
display the minimum gas response on the display and retain the response level in its memory.
