6 Checking and fine-tuning measuring accuracy
! Before commencing testing or fine-tuning work as described in Sections 6.2 or 6.3, the analyzer must be warmed up for a period
of 10 minutes. The cover of the device must be closed during this time.
It is essential to note the instructions in Section 6.1 before checking and fine-tuning measuring accuracy.
Please observe the propane factor of 0.5 for checking or fine-tuning the HC measuring channel.
Observe safety regulations when working with toxic gases.
6.1 Taking account of barometric altitude
Before checking or fine-tuning measuring accuracy, using a barometer read the current air pressure at the site in which testing or
adjusting is taking place.
In addition, find out what altitude is stored in the analyzer in input mode to Section 4.1.7.
If the analyzer is equipped with an air-pressure gauge (and this has been activated as described in Section 4.1.6), then check the
following:
- Does the altitude stored in the analyzer correspond to a mean air pressure which does not deviate by more than +50 mbar from the
currently measured air pressure? If there is a difference of 50 mbar or more, set the altitude in the analyzer to the current value.
If the analyzer is not equipped with an air-pressure gauge, the altitude in the analyzer must be set to the value which most accurately
corresponds to the current air pressure.
After you have finished checking or fine-tuning the device, set the altitude at which the device is to be used by the operator.

6.2 Checking the indicating accuracy
The pump must be switched off. Select analysis mode with the "Select" button (press 10 x) and activate with the ”Enter o”
button.
Introduce a flow of test gas no. 4 into the device via the calibration-gas inlet.
Read the displayed values of the CO, CO
2
and HC measuring channels and compare with the certified test-gas values.
Maximum permitted indicating error = 5% from certified test-gas value.
If the value of one of the measuring channels exceeds the maximum permitted error, re-tune the measuring channel in ques-
tion to Section 6.3.
