E-CAL

in User Mode is set to

). If

E-CAL

, see page 46 for calibration instructions.

Preparing for Span Adjustment

To adjust the span on the OX-04, you need:

• Calibration gas cylinder

• 0.25 LPM fixed flow regulator
• Non-absorbent tubing
• Calibration cup

1. Confirm that the OX-04’s calibration gas value matches the concentration listed on the

calibration gas cylinder as described on page 53.

2. Confirm that the regulator knob is turned all the way clockwise. Screw the 0.25 LPM fixed

flow regulator onto the calibration cylinder.

3. Install the calibration cup onto the OX-04. Be sure the calibration cup is installed in the

correct direction and that it is pushed on all the way.

4. Use the tubing to connect the regulator to the inlet of the calibration cup (labeled “IN”).
