NOTE:
You can set the 03 Series to alert you during the startup sequence
when calibration or bump testing is due with the 03 Series User
Setup Program. See the 03 Series User Setup Program
Operator’s Manual for information on setting the Cal. Limit
Display
and Bump Test Limit Display parameters.
Calibration Frequency
The optimum frequency of calibration depends heavily on how the 03
Series is used. For example, instruments used daily may need to be
calibrated weekly or monthly, while instruments that are used only a few
times a year may need to be calibrated before each use. Typical calibration
frequencies range from monthly to quarterly. Make sure to develop a
calibration schedule tailored to your application.
Using Calibration Mode
WARNING: The 03 Series is not in operation as a gas detector while
in Calibration Mode. Although it will respond to gas in
parts of AIR CAL, A--CAL., M--CAL., and BUMP, there are
no gas alarm indications.
1. Take the 03 Series to a non-hazardous area and turn it off if it is on.
