Fidas24: Substitute gas calibration
Example
Substitute gas calibration in the Fidas24 is described using the example
"Acetone measurement in room air".
Acetone measurement in room air
Acetone (C

O) in higher concentrations cannot be filled test gas contain-
ers. For this reason the analyzer module is factory-set for calibration with
the substitute gas propane (C

) in N

.

Calibration
• Calibrate zero with air (component 1 or component 2).
• Calibrate span with test gas 18 vol.% propane in N

.
Other measurement tasks
For other measurement tasks select the test gases and measurement ranges
in a similar manner according to the sample gas composition.
