GX-6000 Operator’s Manual
PID Gas Name Screen
The standard PID channel is configured for and calibrated to isobutylene. If calibration to
a different gas is required for an application, the PID channel can also be configured for
other gases. Regardless of what gas the PID sensor is configured for and calibrated to, the
sensor will still detect and respond to a variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
If you configure the instrument for another gas, the instrument will retain that
configuration until you change it again. Turning the instrument off and on does not change
this setting.
If there are 2 PID sensors installed in your GX-6000, the PID Gas Name Screens will
appear in Display Mode in the following order regardless of their position in the flow
system: 10.0 eV/benzene, 10.6 eV, 11.7 eV.
1 . With the PID Gas Name Screen displayed, press and release the POWER/ENTER
button. The top level of the PID Gas Name List will be displayed and the cursor will
be next to the letter corresponding to the first letter of the current setting. In the
example below, the PID channel is configured for isobutylene so the cursor is next to
“I”. Each letter has a list of gas names behind it.
At the top of the letter list, there is a User List item and a Recent List item. The User
List can hold 30 gas names. See “Appendix J: Creating a PID User List” on page 240
for instructions to edit the User List. The Recent List can hold up to 8 gas names and
is made up of the 8 most recently used gas names. The Recent List is not user
editable.
