5.3.1 Standard sensitivity adjustment
During the sensitivity calibration, the sensitivity of the sensor is
set to the value of the test gas.
1. Fit the calibration adapter
(68 06 291) to the sensor
cap.
2. Connect the test gas
source to the calibration
adapter.
3. Vent the test gas into
a fume cupboard or into
