6.4 AERtrim AUTO CALIBRATION
AERtrim includes an automatic sensor calibration feature, which helps maintain oxygen sensor
readout accuracy. This feature is disabled by default but may be enabled during AERtrim
activation. Calibration frequency and time adjustments are located in the
Auto Cal Freq
, and
the
Auto Cal Time
setting in the O2 Trim menu (see Section 6.5 for details).
Auto Calibration occurs only when the unit is in STANDBY Mode.
For example, if the time
and day for an auto calibration passes, the controller will wait for the boiler to cycle off and go
into standby mode before executing the sensor calibration function. If desired, a manual
calibration can be initiated by the user, by enabling the
AUTO CAL NOW
menu item.
When sensor calibration occurs, the controller starts the O
2
Cal Purge for 40 seconds (55
seconds on the BMK 6000) in order to remove residual combustion fumes. Once purged the
controller reads the oxygen level of ambient air used for purging and calculates a calibration
offset between -3 and +3. The offset is applied to correct the sensor reading to the expected air
O
2
% level of 20.9%. If the calculated offset is more than ± 3%, “
