Calibrating/adjusting the instrument
Calibration may not be possible due to instrument and channel errors.
Allow the sensors to warm up before the calibration!
Warm-up time: refer to the Instructions for Use/data sheets of the Dräger Sensors
installed (on CD).
Calibration interval:

1)
or
EN 45544-4
2)
and national regulations. We recommend that you calibrate the
channels after 6 months.
— Improve the zero point accuracy – carry out the fresh air calibration/zero-point
calibration, page 48.
— Set the sensitivity of all sensors to the value of the test gas – carry out the 1-button
calibration, page 50.
— Set the sensitivity of a sensor to the value of the test gas – span calibration/
adjustment, page 53.
NOTICE
A potentially activated H
