Zero Calibration

WARNING
!
Ambient air can be used to zero the sensor instead of
Nitrogen or Synthetic Air only if the area is known to be
free of the target gas or any gas to which the sensor
may be cross-sensitive (as listed on the sensor data
sheet). In this case, no cylinder or calibration adapter
is needed for the zero calibration.
For Oxygen (O2) sensors the zero cannot be calibrated. For
test purposes only Nitrogen (N2) must be used.
Select Calibration > Zero Calibration and confirm.

The Maintenance signal is transmitted and the symbol [ ]
is displayed.
The message Apply zero gas is displayed.
Apply Synthetic Air or Nitrogen.
