CALIBRATION MODE
The instrument includes an integrated calibration tile on the inside of the measurement port
cover, which is used to automatically perform a calibration before each measurement. However,
every 30 days a white tile calibration and effect tile check must be performed utilizing the
included calibration
reference.
The calibration icon at the bottom of the screen changes to this icon indicating that a
calibration must be performed. No measurements can be taken until the calibration is completed.
Refer to the Cleaning section in the Appendices for information on cleaning the calibration
reference.
NOTE:
Make sure to use the calibration reference supplied with the instrument for calibrating.
Do not substitute this reference with a reference from another instrument. The serial number
on the reference should match the reference serial number displayed on the instrument screen
during calibration.
Calibration Notes
• The white tile in the calibration reference is dramatically affected by smudge
marks, dust, and finger prints . Refer to Appendices for calibration reference cleaning
procedures.
• Do not move instrument while taking a calibration measurement . If motion is
detected, an error message will be displayed and calibration aborted.
Positioning the Instrument on the Calibration Reference
The calibration reference is designed to keep the white tile and effect tile free of dust and debris.
Lay the calibration reference flat. Position the instrument on the calibration reference over the
tile so that the three pressure sensors around the measurement port align with the slots in the
calibration reference, and the white lines align. This ensures the instrument is properly
positioned over the white tile or effects tile.
