Alarm Conditions

The alarm setpoints are preset at the factory and can not be changed by
the user.
Alarm 1 (CAUTION)
Factory preset at 20% Oxygen. Contact factory for custom Alarm
Setpoints.

4.3 Calibration

Prior to operating this instrument for the first time, the Oxygen Monitor
must be calibrated. If this instrument is to be used as a safety monitor,
routine calibration should be carried out on a weekly basis.
If it is not feasible to use ordinary air as the calibration gas, then clean,
compressed instrument air can be used. It will probably be necessary to seal
the sensor in the piped-in calibration gas to isolate it from the surrounding
atmosphere. A flow-through adaptor can be purchased from TAI as an
accessory for those applications. Although a special calibration gas can be
used, the calibration results will be meaningless unless the oxygen concentra-
tion of the calibration gas is known, and the analyzer is adjusted to indicate
