| Maintenance
The adjustment operations in this paragraph are reserved for authorized,
trained personnel because they may compromise detection reliability
.
Gas detectors are safety devices. OLDHAM SIMTRONICS recommends the regular
testing of fixed gas detection installations. This type of test consists of injecting the
calibration gas into the detector at a sufficient concentration to activate the pre-set
alarms. It is to be understood that this test is in no way a replacement for a detector
calibration.
The frequency of gas tests depends on the industrial application where the detector is
in use. Frequent inspections should be made in the months following the
commissioning of the installation, and should then become more widely spaced
provided that no significant deviation is observed. If a detector should fail to react in
contact with the gas, calibration is essential. The frequency of calibrations shall be
appropriate according to the results of the tests (humidity, temperature, dust, etc.);
however, it must not exceed one year.
The general manager should put safety procedures in place on-site. OLDHAM
SIMTRONICS cannot be held responsible for their enforcement.
Calibration
Recommendations
Calibration consists of adjusting the zero of the clean air sensor and adjusting
sensitivity with a test gas. Adjustments are made at the sensor level.
Equipment needed to calibrate the detector correctly:
■
Flexible plastic tubing (Figure 15, ref. 2).
■
Manometer and regulator valve for the compressed gas cylinders (rep. 3).
■
0 to 60 l/h flow meter (if the cylinder is not equipped with one).
■
Calibration pipe (ref. 1), which may vary depending on the nature of the gas (see
pages 31 and following).
■
Test gas cylinder (ref. 4).
