Introduction 

 

Calibrate the LTC-NTK Unit 

 

Click Calibrate… to open the Gain Calibration window  

 

 

Select one of the four options available:   

o

 

Initial Factory Sensor Calibration

. This is the default value and 

can be used in most cases.  

o

 

Entered Gain Factor.

 A gain factor from a previous Free Air 

Calibration or Reference Gas Calibration can be entered. 

o

 

Reference Gas Calibration

 

A Reference Gas Calibration is not 

recommended for normal use as it required calibrated testing gas. 

o

 

Free Air Calibration.

 A calibration is performed with the sensor in 

free air. To perform the free air calibration: 

-  Click Start Free Air Calibration 

Note: 

The calibration process may take several minutes during 

which the calibration progress window is displayed. 

 

When the calibration is complete the new calibration value is 

displayed. This value should be recorded against the serial 
number of the sensor to enter this calibration when the sensor 
is used with another LTC unit. 

To apply the new calibration click 

OK.
