Module
Caution Because the monitor uses the current date and time as the calibration date and
time, ensure that the system date and time is set correctly.
Note — The monitor always displays the CO
2
module’s operating (usage) time in the
CO2 Test menu.
To calibrate the CO

Connect one end of the sampling line (if not already connected) to the
CO

In the CO2 Test menu, select Start Calibration.
A confirmation window appears telling you to connect the gas to the CO
2
module.
3
Connect the other end of the sampling line to the gas controller
equipment inlet with a 5% gas concentration.
4
Open the valve on the gas controller equipment to allow 5% CO
2
gas to
flow into the monitor.

Select OK in the confirmation window to begin calibrating.
The monitor begins calibrating the CO
2
module and displays the
calibration value when complete.
Note — The calibration process can take up to one minute to complete.
