Page 4: General Description
The electrochemical generating cell contains an electrolyte solution and either inert or consumable electrodes, depending upon the gas being generated. A precise concentration of gas is produced when the CAL-101 supplies a known amount of current and a known amount of air continuously to the cell. - Page 5 ON/OFF Switch The CAL-101 has no on/off switch. To use the instrument simply insert the cell. To turn the unit off, simply remove the cell by pushing the cell eject button located on the top of the instrument. When the unit is configured as a 'bump' station, a modified generating cell is used.

1 LED lit indicates less than 12 minutes of calibration time remain. These are the normal operating conditions for the CAL-101. Complete equilibrium may take an additional two to five minutes, depending upon the type and amount of gas being generated and the operating conditions of the instrument. -
Page 7: Normal Operation
The GREEN LEDs will continue to flash ever 4 seconds indicating remaining cell life. While in normal operating mode, the CAL-101 will run continuously and generate gas until either the battery becomes discharged or the cell is consumed. (In the bump station... -
Page 8: Non-Normal Operation
IV. NON-NORMAL OPERATION If either the batteries or the generating cell become depleted, or the generating cell is removed from the CAL-101, the instrument enters a non- normal operating condition Under a low battery condition, the RED LEDs will begin to flash. If the low battery condition occurs during power up, the RED LEDs will flash dimly for approximately 10 seconds and then the instrument will power down. - Page 9 If the cell has been depleted, it should be removed and replaced with a new generating cell. Please refer to the section on cell life for proper instructions on replacing the generating cells. If the cell has not been depleted, there may be a faulty electrical connection between the cell and the instrument.

Page 10: Cell Life
V. CELL LIFE The generating cell is consumed during the operation of the unit. Cells can be purchased for two hours of generation time. Once a cell has been depleted, it may be replaced with a new cell to provide additional calibration time. -
Page 11: Corrections To Volumetric Flow
VI. CORRECTIONS TO VOLUMETRIC FLOW Changes in altitude and temperature can cause changes in air density, thus affecting the output of the CAL-101. The output of the CAL-101 was calibrated to STP (standard temperature and pressure) of sea level and 20°C. -
