Calibrating the zero point
For all sensors except oxygen sensor:
The zero point can be calibrated without the use of nitrogen (zero gas) when the
ambient air is free from measuring gas and other interfering gases. Alternatively:
1 Use the calibration adapter.
● Set maintenance switch to maintenance position, see page 14.
● Let nitrogen flow through the calibration adapter at a rate of approx. 0.5 L/min.
Synthetic air may also be used, except when calibrating oxygen sensors.
● Wait for the measured value to stabilise – approx. 3 minutes. Note the information
in the sensor data sheet.
2 Set potentiometer for zero point so that the display shows 0 and the digital volt-
meter 0 mV ±2 mV.
Oxygen sensors:
The zero point cannot be calibrated for these sensors. The zero point is merely
checked.
● Switch off calibration gas and remove calibration adapter.
● Set maintenance switch to measuring position, see page 14.
Calibrating the sensitivity
— The recommended calibration gas concentration for optimum accuracy is be-
tween 40 % and 100 % of the measuring range end value.
1 Use the calibration adapter.
● Set maintenance switch to maintenance position, see page 14.
● Let calibration gas flow through the calibration adapter at a rate of approx. 0.5 L/
min.
— Wait for the measured value to stabilise – approx. 3 minutes. Note the information
in the sensor data sheet.
3 Set the potentiometer for sensitivity so that the display shows the concentration
of the calibration gas or the digital voltmeter shows the calculated voltage mV.
Calculation of the voltage V
exp
between test points TP1 and TP2:
V
exp
= Concentration of calibration gas ÷ Measuring range x 1000 mV
Caution:
Test gas must not be inhaled. Risk to health!
Care must be taken about the risks which can arise when using test gas;
hazard instructions and safety advice must be observed.
For details, see appropriate Safety Data Sheets.
Example: Concentration of calibration gas 250 ppm CO
Measuring range 0 to 300 ppm CO
Calculated voltage: 250 ppm
V
exp
= x 1000 mV = 833 mV
300 ppm
