Conditions of Use

Although this is a field meter this is still an electronic device. When onsite 

we recommend you treat this equipment the way you would treat your 

mobile. BE AWARE; all PID meters are sensitive to moisture.

Before you start your PID, ensure:

1. 

The moisture filter is clean and dry.

2.  You are in a fresh air environment. 

Operation

1.  Turn on the meter - it will run through its own start-up and test 

procedure. N.B. for most accurate results allow the meter to warm up 

for a further 5-10 minutes.  

2. 

Your PID is calibrated to isobutylene and configured to display “AS IF” 

isobutylene. 

3. 

If you block the nose cone with your finger, the meter should alarm 

to let you know it is not sucking in air anymore. This is a pump stall test 

to verify the meter is not drawing air from somewhere other than the 

nosecone. If the meter does not stall, contact Van Walt Ltd.

Bump Test

1. 

Using the A and B soft keys, select the “i” option from the on-screen 

menu. Check that Isobutylene is your selected gas.

2.  Attach isobutylene bottle provided to the meter using regulator 

provided.

3.  Turn on gas and check the measurements.
4. 

The gas bottle contains 100ppm isobutylene. Van Walt Ltd ensures that 

the meter is displaying within 10% of the published value on the bottle 

on the day we send it out to you. If you deem the drift to be outside 

acceptable limits please contact Van Walt for advice. 

5.  After bump testing please ensure the regulator is closed and removed 

from the bottle.

6. 

EXCESSIVE USE OF ISOBUTYLENE GAS MAY BE CHARGED FOR.
