  • Page 8: Calibration With Gas

    The interface will accept set points between 10 and 100 % of the end of scale value. To achieve best accuracy Compur Monitors recommends to calibrate at the desired alarm threshold value. Calculate the most suitable span gas concentration with this formula:...
  • Page 9: Troubleshooting

    A PID sensor will gradually loose sensitivity over time. This process depends on the ambient conditions and the target gas. Therefore regular calibration, lamp cleaning and replacement of consumables is necessary to guaranty accurate measurement. Compur Monitors recommends to hold stock of consumables.

    8.1 Lamp cleaning / replacement of consumables 8.1.1 Removing the sensor Open the retaining nut counter clockwise until you can remove it, by pulling it downwards. Unplug the sensor pulling it downwards. Work on the sensor should be performed in a clean environment. Protect the sensor slot by re - installing the retaining nut (see chapter 8.1.4) and closing it with the blind plug.

    8.1.2 Polishing the lamp Pull the lamp carefully out of the electrode stack. Never touch its polished front side. Polish the front side with a cotton swap and the polishing powder. Apply tender pressure until you hear a silent squeak. Remove loose polish particles with a fresh swap until the lamp front is absolutely clean.
