    “cross calibration” using another hydrocarbon gas/air mixture. When the Salwico GD Combustible LEL sensor is to be calibrated with a gas which is different to the gas or vapour to be detected, the following cross calibration procedure may be followed: Caution: Where the user calibrates any sensor using a different gas, responsibility for identifying and recording calibration rests with the user.

Star Rating of Gases To cross calibrate the Salwico GD flammable gas detector: (1) Obtain the star rating for both the calibration test gas and the gas to be detected from Table 14 (2) These values may then be used in Table 15 to obtain the required calibration span setting when a 50% LEL test gas is applied to the detector.

Since catalytic sensors require oxygen for correct operation, a mixture of gas in air should always be used for calibration purposes. 2. Assuming average performance of the sensor, the sensitivity information in Tables 14 To 16 is normally accurate to + or - 30%.
