Start-up If "xx.xx.xx xx:xx" is displayed instead of the date and time, or if an incorrect date and time are displayed: (only after the clock has been reset due to a power failure) Set the date and time, see page 48. Note: If the date and time are not set correctly, some functions (such as calibra- tion) cannot be executed.
The interval for regular calibration depends on the sensor being used and on the operating conditions. Polytron 7500 calculates, from the selected calibration interval (see page 58) when the next calibration is due. Specific calibration data for the sensor, see the Instructions for Use for the Dräger sensor.
— Ensure that the sensor is warmed up before it is calibrated. Warming-up time: see the Instructions for Use for the DrägerSensor. — The Polytron 7500 can be calibrated by the operator on site. — For critical applications, the calibration intervals are to be defined in accordance with the recommendations in EN 50073 or.
