9.0 FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
After I calibrate to 20.9%, the display changes as
much as ± 1%.
•
This is within the normal Handi+ operating tolerance of ± 1% when temperature
and pressure are constant.
I have calibrated to 99.9% but when I check my oxy-
gen delivery equipment, the Handi+ reads ".0.4" or
greater (Over Range Indicator).
•
It is recommended that you conduct the calibration procedure again to get
another reading. The most likely cause is that the Handi+ has received a "false"
calibration value.
•
Make sure that the calibration gas is connected to the Handi+ at 2 liters per minute
for a minimum of 2 minutes prior to proceeding with calibration.
•
This 2-minute equilibration time is necessary to insure that the sensor is
completely saturated with the calibration gas.
I have found the reading to drift greater than ± 3%
from a know source value. What is the possible cause?
•
The sensor may be at or near its useful life.
•
Replace your Handi+.
•
Sensor life is dependent on the oxygen concentration exposure.
For example, a sensor which is used to check flow meters once a week for 8 hours
will outlast one which is used to analyze oxygen blender performance 24 hours
per day, 5 days a week.
