calibration gas tubing assembly
comprising a 1” piece of standard tubing

2. Installation
The IQ Express must be configured with a
PC prior to use. Once the dock has been
configured, it may be used as a stand-alone
calibration station without a PC connection,
or connected to a PC via USB cable or
Ethernet for increased control over system
operations.
Note: If the dock is configured for an
Ethernet connection, specific
instructions for Ethernet are included
with the dock.
Unless otherwise specified at the time of
purchase, all IQ Express Docks are shipped
from Sperian Instrumentation configured for
CO/H
2
S instruments with the standard
calibration gas settings.
If the user chooses to activate the IQ
Express without a PC connection, or if the
PC connection has been lost, the dock will
operate with the last set of calibration gas
settings that were uploaded into the
instrument and will automatically store
calibration data until the onboard memory is
full.
Note: Do not connect the IQ Express
Dock to the PC until the IQ Express and
IQ Database Manager Software have
been installed and the PC has been
restarted.
