    Use of non-standard calibration as discussed in section 3.3. After calibration gas and/or calibration kit successful completion of the fresh air/zero components when calibrating the ToxiPro calibration, the can lead to inaccurate and potentially instrument will begin a dangerous readings, and may void the...
  • Page 14: 3.6.1.2 Forced Fresh Air/Zero Calibration

    If a fresh air/zero calibration fails in an atmosphere known to be fresh, the ToxiPro can be forced to fresh air calibrate as follows. ↔ 1. Follow instructions 1 and 2 in section 3.3 to begin the fresh air/zero calibration sequence.
  • Page 15: Replacing Sensors

    To replace the battery: 1. Turn the ToxiPro off. If the ToxiPro is in 10 a.m. 10 p.m. Always On Mode, see section 2.7.1 for further instructions.

    Appendix A: Sensor Cross-Sensitivity Chart The table below provides the cross-sensitivity response of the ToxiPro toxic gas sensors to common interference gases. The values are ToxiPro as a percentage of the primary sensitivity, or the reading of the sensor when exposed to 100ppm of the interfering gas at 20ºC. These values are approximate. The actual values depend on the age and condition of the sensor.
