Although there is no particular calibration frequency that is correct for all applications, a calibration frequency of every 3 months is adequate for most sample draw detector applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months.
2. Remove the voltmeter leads from the amplifier test points. 3. Close the housing door. 4. Verify that the controller display reading stabilizes at 20.9%. 5. Store the components of the calibration kit in a safe and convenient place. 26 • 35-3001A-10 Oxygen/Carbon Monoxide Sample-Draw Detector...
