Additionally, INITIAL Calibration should only be Zeroing used when a regular calibration will not clear a fault condition due to use of incorrect cal gas or 1. Using Zero Gas Cylinder: other similar Situation. a. Locate the Zero Gas Cylinder and the Calibration Kit Flow Controller.
3. After the 30 second Countdown: ● The display alternates between “CAL” and a value (example: 0 PPM). This value is the actual reading of the gas concen- tration the sensor is detecting. The engineering units (PPM, % or %LEL) are predetermined by the type of sensor installed and are not changeable.
● No user adjustments are necessary. ● The display will show the span gas value while the span gas is flowing to the unit. (For example, it may read 60 PPM or 25 % or 60 % LEL). 12. Turn OFF the gas flow by turning the knob on the flow Controller.
The ULTIMA/ULTIMA X Series Gas Monitor XIR Calibration allows automatic zero and span adjustments only within a pre-defined range. It cannot make Although a full calibration (zero and span) can be corrections outside this range, such as when an performed on the ULTIMA XIR Gas Monitor, a empty or wrong cylinder of gas is applied or no-gas calibration is sufficient to properly failure to begin gas flow within the allotted...
