CALIBRATION PROCEDURE FOR R-123
TOOLS REQUIRED:
• Calibration kit with 500ppm Methane
• Adapter for sensor
Digital Volt Multimeter (DVM)
Small screw driver
PROCEDURE:
1 Sensor must first be powered for at least 24 hours prior to calibration
2 Remove the enclosure lid by turning counter clockwise.
3 Connect DVM to ground (GND) and signal out on the top plate of the transmitter.
4 Confirm that the sensor is presently exposed to clean air ( or apply a source of clean
air ) and if necessary, adjust 4 mA adjust pot so that the meter reading is 0.20 VDC
+/- 0.025 VDC.
5 Screw the Adapter for the sensor into the bottom of sensor.
6 Screw the valve, regulator, gauge and hose assembly on to the tank of 500ppm
Methane calibration gas.
7 Slowly open tank valve
8 Adjust pressure gauge to read 2.5 psi by adjusting the regulator knob. ( This sets the
flow rate to 50 ml/min via the purple orifice that is in line with the hose.)
9 Attach the end of the hose to the adapter on the sensor.
10 Let the gas flow for three minutes.
11 With the span gas still flowing to the sensor, adjust the Span Adjust pot so that the
meter reading is 1.0 volts.
12 Remove the span gas and verify that the meter reading returns to 0.20 VDC within
five minutes.
13 If the reading doesn't return to 0.20 VDC adjust the 4 mA pot until the meter reads
0.20 VDC +/- 0.005VDC and repeat steps 4 to 12. ( This may take a few iterations)
