3. Connect the CO discharge hose of the calibration equipment to the Monoxor's probe tip; then
open the CO cylinder regulator valve and adjust the regulator for a
fl
owmeter indication of 1
to 2 SCFH.
4. Allow gas to
fl
ow for 2 minutes.
5. Read the detected CO level on the instrument’s LCD. Then using a potentiometer adjustment
tool, adjust the CO SPAN potentiometer until the LCD reading matches the gas cylinder’s
concentration value within ±5 ppm.
6. Shut off the regulator and remove the CO discharge hose from the gas inlet port. Then while
observing the displayed CO level, allow the instrument to run until the CO reading drops to
zero.
NOTE:
If after 5 minutes the CO reading stabilizes at some value other than zero, readjust the
ADJUST potentiometer for an LCD indica
tion of ±3 ppm.
7. Set front panel POWER switch to OFF.
8. Disassemble the calibration-equipment setup and store the components in the calibration kit’s
carrying case.

gas in small amounts, and CO gas in larger amounts, can be very toxic.
Calibration at a Bacharach Sales/Service Center is recommended (See Section “5.4 Bacharach Sales/
Service Centers” to
fi
nd the nearest center). If you have a facility that is properly equipped to handle
toxic gas (i.e.. fume hoods, self contained breathing apparatus etc.), we would be glad to suggest a
calibration method.

Calibration
Important!
Do not proceed with this calibration procedure if the instrument’s “LO BAT”
indicator is on. We recommend that the instrument be calibrated with a fresh set of batteries.
c. Wait until the instrument’s CO display settles down (approximately 1 minute); then, using
a potentiometer adjustment tool, turn the front panel ADJUST potentiometer (Fig 3-2) until
the display shows 0 ±3 ppm.
The display shows negative numbers for zeroing purposes.
