1 Enter Service Mode at the monitor and wait for first automatic zero calibration after the warm-up
period.
2 Perform:
a. a leakage check
b. a flowrate check
to ensure that there are no leaks in the gas system and that the flowrates are set correctly.
3 Perform Zero calibration.
4 Check that there are no reported errors.
5 Check the Barometric Pressure calibration; perform it if necessary.
6 Check the Span calibration of gases; perform it if necessary.
