INSTALLATION AND SETUP
The
SMART-CAL 360
requires very minimal setup before use. From opening the box to calibrating an instrument
takes approximately 20 minutes.
1. Choose a location for the
SMART-CAL 360
that is relatively clean, dry,
and in an area known to be free of combustible gases. One power
outlet is required. If the network version of Data Management
software will be used, either an Ethernet connection to the station or
access to a Wi-Fi network will be required.
2. Secure the instrument base to the station via 2 bolts on the bottom.
3. Plug in the provided AC wall adapter to the
SMART-CAL 360.
It will
power on automatically, indicated by a blue LED on top of the station.
The screen will remain blank for a few seconds as the system boots.
The splash screen will then be displayed followed by the system
check. Press
CONTINUE
after the system check is complete.
NOTE
: If any failures occur during the system check, contact
SENSIT Technologies for assistance.
4. After the start-up process on the station is complete, the main display
should be shown. On this display will be the default valve
configuration, which covers most standard calibration kits. If you need
to change this configuration based on the calibration gas you will be
using for your instruments, first follow the steps listed in the next
section for valve configuration, then proceed with these instructions.
5. Attach the calibration adapter hoses to each regulator and attach the
regulators to the cylinders of calibration gas.
NOTE
: If you are not using a calibration kit provided by SENSIT,
any gas supplied to the
SMART-CAL 360
must (1) be the correct
value and balance listed in the instruction manual of the
instrument you are calibrating, (2) have a flow rate of between 0.3
- 0.5 lpm, and (3) not exceed 30 psi.
6. Following the on-screen valve configuration, attach each calibration
adapter hose to the appropriate fitting on the back of the
SMART-CAL
360
. Each fitting on the back of the station is marked with a number
that corresponds to valve list on the main display.
The setup is complete. The hardware will need to be tested by performing
either a calibration or bump test (refer to “Operation and Use” section).
