Factory Calibration - Maritime G6100 Operation Manual

Validation & Calibration
1. Press the PAH area on the home screen. Press Calibration Mode – Login – press
Calibration Mode again and wait until the status changes to "Calibration Mode
Enabled".
Based on the sensor range, please select the calibration liquid according to Table 6-3
have been in use.
2. Take the syringe and attach the needle. Break the neck of the ampoule – fill the syringe
with the entire content.
3. Slowly inject the content into the PAH calibration chamber, taking care that no air is
mixed into the calibration liquid. Look into the chamber to check and remove air
bubbles.
4. Place the PAH sensor in the PAH calibration chamber in an upright position. Press the
corresponding "Calibrate" button when the highest stable raw count appears. A
calibration point has now been stored.
5. Empty out the calibration liquid from the calibration chamber and wipe it dry with a
new cleaning pad. Clean the PAH sensor.
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until all relevant calibration liquids according to Table 6-3 have
been in use.

6.4.3 Factory Calibration

A periodically factory calibration is only required for the PAH sensors. This is to
compensate for degradation of the internal light source intensity and check/change the light
source. As a vital part of the factory calibration procedure new calibration curves are stored
to compensate for hardware drift. Please refer to section 7 Services for further information.
The expiry date of the factory calibration is stated in the Test & Configuration Sheet.
ATTENTION
If the expiry date is overdue, it can affect the accuracy, performance, and functionality of
the sensor, thus compromising the requirement(s) of the regulatory agencies and deem the
system non-compliant.
