Symptoms
•
The transmitter responds slowly or does not respond during the monthly response
test.
•
Unable to accurately set the zero or response reading during the calibration
procedure.
•
The transmitter requires frequent calibration.

three months. Some applications may require a more frequent calibration
schedule.
Probable causes
•
The calibration cylinder is low, out-dated, or defective.
•
The transmitter is malfunctioning.
Recommended action
1.
Verify that the calibration cylinder contains an adequate supply of a fresh test sample.
2.
If the calibration/response difficulties continue, replace the CO sensor as described
