6.15 Calibrating Input Channels

For catalytic bead type detectors, the Analogue Input Modules form part of the measuring circuit. Therefore
You should consider alternative safety measures when performing these procedures.

6.15.1 Adjusting the mV Sensor Baseline

It is important to select [Adjust mV Baseline] when calibrating a new or replacement sensor for the first time, and
[Span] for all calibrations thereafter. This also applies when either the detector type or sensor type is changed during
channel configuration, even though the sensor itself remains the same.
Doing this procedure correctly allows you a time window in which to safely organise the replacement of nearly
To adjust the mV Sensor Baseline:
1) Replace the catalytic bead
2) Check the mV sensor wiring is undamaged and correctly connected.
3) Perform the next check under clean air.
4) Login as Administrator or Service.
5) Touch

6) Touch [Start].
7) Check mV sensor type setting is correct.
8) Carry out the sensor calibration as shown in the next section (the mV input channel will be automatically
inhibited during this procedure).

6.15.2 Calibrating a mV Input Channel

It is important to select [First Calibration] when calibrating a new or replacement sensor for the first time.
To calibrate a mV input channel, follow the procedure below in combination with the relevant instructions in the
sensor manual.
This procedure requires 2 people in radio or telephone contact.
Only trained technicians are authorized to carry out sensor calibration.
Caution: Ensure that any relay operated devices (drenchers, repeater alarms, etc.) are inhibited before starting this
test.
1) Log in as Service.
2) Touch
