  • Page 34: Calibration Frequency

    3 to 6 months is adequate for most oxygen transmitter applications. Unless experience in a particular application dictates otherwise, RKI Instruments, Inc. recommends a calibration frequency of every 3 months. If an application is not very demanding, for example detection in a clean, temperature controlled environment where combustible and toxic gases are not normally present and calibration adjustments are minimal at calibration, then a calibration frequency of every 6 months is adequate.
