Calibration and Maintenance
The Model 8552/8554 Q-T
RAK
TM
Plus IAQ Monitor requires very little
maintenance to keep it performing well.
The Q-T
RAK
Plus monitor may be calibrated in the field using the
instructions below. Even so, we recommend that you return your Q-T
RAK
Plus monitor to TSI for calibration annually. For a nominal fee, we will
quickly clean and recalibrate the unit, update software and firmware, and
return it to you in “as new” working condition along with a Certificate of
Calibration and NIST Traceability. The factory calibration is more precise
than can be accomplished with the procedures below. This “annual checkup”
helps ensure that the Q-T
RAK
Plus monitor is always in good operating
condition.
Calibrating the CO
2
Sensor
TSI recommends calibrating the Q-T
RAK
Plus monitor CO
2
measurement
monthly to help ensure accurate readings.
To calibrate the CO
2
sensor, please follow the procedure below. You can
also follow the prompts displayed on the screen while in user calibration
mode. You will need a cylinder of zero CO
2
air or nitrogen for the zero
calibration and a cylinder of gas with a known concentration of CO
2
for the
span calibration. Contact your local TSI distributor for available CO
2
calibration kits (see Figure 4-4).
Note
: If using air for zero calibration, it must be specified to have
less than 10 ppm CO
2
. Ambient room air cannot be used (see
Appendix A).
The calibration procedure can be aborted at any time by pressing the
&
key.
Any step in the calibration procedure can be repeated by pressing the
!
key.
1. To put the Q-T
RAK
Plus monitor into CO
2
calibration mode, press the
!
or
"
keys to select
CALIBRATION
in the Setup Menu.
2. Select
CO2
by pressing the
!
or
"
keys the in the calibration submenu
and press the
↵
key (see Figure 4-1).
