air adjustment, the M2A will freeze the display reading at the highest response and the M2A 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 during a zero adjustment, the M2A will freeze the display reading at the
lowest response to the calibration gas. The calibration gas can then be removed and the M2A will continue to
display this reading and retain it in its memory until the zero adjustment procedure is completed.

Adjusting the Fresh Air Setting

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 to continue. The display will

indicate

OXYGEN CAL Mode

for a few seconds before showing

FreshAir Adjust?

If you want to exit Calibration Mode, press and release the DOWN/NO button. The M2A will indicate

Leaving CAL Mode

and the M2A will return to normal operation.

3. To continue with adjusting the fresh air (span) reading, press and release the UP/YES button.

ENTER

FreshAir

on the top display line and the current oxygen reading will be on the bottom display

line.

To skip adjusting the fresh air reading, press and release the DOWN/NO button. The display will indicate

ZERO w/Cal Gas?

. Skip to the next section, “Adjusting the Zero Setting”.

4. Screw the zero air cylinder into the fixed flow regulator.

5. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.

6. Allow zero air to flow for 2 minutes. If the oxygen concentration in the area is less than 20.9, the reading

should stabilize after 2 minutes.

7. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator.

8. Unscrew the zero air cylinder from the fixed flow regulator leaving the calibration cup on the detector. The

M2A will continue to display the maximum gas response on the display and retain the response level in its
memory.

9. Press and release the ENTER button. The M2A will perform a fresh air adjustment and the display will

indicate

ZERO w/Cal Gas?

NOTE:

If the fresh air adjustment fails, see “Troubleshooting” on page 48 for recommended actions.

Adjusting the Zero Setting

1. If you want to continue with adjusting the zero setting, press and release the UP/YES button.

APPLY

alternate with

ZERO Gas

on the top display line and the current oxygen reading will be on the bottom

display line.

If you want to skip adjusting the zero reading, press and release the DOWN/NO button. The display will
indicate

and the M2A will return to normal operation.

2. Screw the 100% nitrogen gas cylinder into the fixed flow regulator.

3. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to open the regulator.

4. Allow gas to flow for 2 minutes. The gas reading should be stable after 2 minutes.

5. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to close the regulator.

6. Unscrew the nitrogen cylinder from the fixed flow regulator and unscrew the calibration cup from the

detector. The M2A will continue to display the minimum gas response on the display and retain the response
