Calibrationcanbeperformedusingeither100%CO2calibrationgas(typicallynitrogen,argon,etc.),orusinga
freshsourceofair,assumedtobeapproximately400ppm.
NOTE:RefertotheGasLab®User’sManualforcompleteinstructions.
CalibrationProcedure
Tocalibrateyourmeter,followthesesteps:
1. TurnONthemeter.
2. Exposethemetertoambientair(assumedtobeat400ppm)orsupplycalibrationgasbottle/cylinder
(100%nitrogenorargon)withtheappropriatedemandregulator.
3. Wait25secondstocollectasample.Writedownthisvalueasthe“before”value.
4. ClicktheCALIBRATEbuttonafterselectingyourcalibrationgas.
5. Wait25secondsagain.Thistime,themeterwilltakeasampleandusethisdatatoadjustzerovalues.The
displayedmeasurementwillshowthenewcalibrationvalue(0or400ppm,dependingonmethodused).
6. DisconnecttheCalibrationgasandwait25seconds.Alldisplayeddatawillnowbebasedonthenew
calibrationvalue.Repeatthisprocedureifthesensorisstilloperatingoutsideofitsspecifiedrangeorif
readingsvarygreatly.
