• At the prompt, enter the Operator ID for the Instrument
calibration. For alpha character entry, see appendix E of the
Procedure Guide.
• The Instrument will prompt to enter the Calibrator Kit lot code.
This code is a four or five digit number found on the inside
label of the Instrument Calibrator Kit box lid.
• After entering the lot code, press ENTER. If this lot code
matches one previously entered, the next prompt will be to
insert the first Cal Vial.
• If the lot code is for a new kit, press YES when the Instrument
identifies it as new (Figure 22).
• The new calibrator values are found on the box label and must
be entered at the prompt.
• The leading zeros and the decimal points must be entered.
Press YES to confirm when the lot code is completely entered.
• After the lot code is successfully entered, the Instrument will
take a series of readings and then prompt for the first calibrator
vial (Figure 23).
• Use the CAL A vial in the Instrument Calibrator Kit.
• When the readings are complete, the Instrument will then
prompt for the next vial (Figure 24).
• The remainder of the calibrator vials must be inserted at the
sequential prompts. Results will be printed at conclusion.
• The entire process takes approximately 12 minutes to
complete.
Important Notes:
• If the calibration is successful, the date of the last
Instrument calibration check will change to the current
day.
• Never remove the caps of the calibrator vials.
• Printed results will include:
- Reading data
- Instrument accuracy data
- Instrument repeatability data
- Overall calibration result
