Recommended Calibration Gas for Target Sensor
A zero air cylinder (20.9 % Vol oxygen) should be used to perform the zero calibration
if the ambient air is contaminated with target gas in the area where the
detector is located.
In case of Oxygen sensor if the oxygen level around the sensor is not 20.9%
then zero air must be applied to set zero calibration of the sensor.
