Page 16: Field Calibration
2.2.3 Field Calibration The purpose of calibration is to ensure the accuracy of the airflow display and alarm (if present). This involves measuring airflow with reference instrumentation and establishing reference between airflow sensor(s) on the BSC to the standard reference. Calibration should only be carried out by trained personnel. This section is presents a brief overview of the calibration menu function. - Page 17 2.2.4.3 Airflow Monitor Whenever the air velocity falls below the fail point, the air fail alarm will be triggered. This option is used to enable/disable alarm. The alarm is enabled by default. If the ambient temperature is outside of 18-30 C (which is the cabinet working temperature), the Airflow Monitor is automatically disabled ENABLED...
