1 Calibration Instruction for Salwico GD
True IR
1.1 Preliminaries
This instructions applies to the following products: 5200138-00A, 5200138-01A,
5200204-00A, 5200204-01A and 5200204-02A.

It is recommended to carry out a gas response check each 6 moths on the gas
detector to ensure the correct operation. If the gas reading has drifted outside the
specified range a calibration of the instrument is necessary.
CAUTION!
Before initial calibration allow the detector to stabilize for 30 minutes after
applying power. When in zero and span calibration mode the current output from
the detector is inhibited (default 2mA) to avoid false alarms. For Flammable gas
calibration use a calibration gas concentration of between 25%LEL and 75%LEL
to ensure that the required accuracy can be attained.
Considerations:
•To calibrate the detector, use an appropriate span gas cylinder, constant flow
regulator.
•A compressed air cylinder (20.9%Vol oxygen) should be used to perform the
zero calibration, if the area where the detector is located contains any residual
amount of the target gas. If no residual gas is present then the background air
can be used to perform the zero calibration.
To calibrate the detector follow the procedures below.

1.2 Calibrating the sensor (Zero calibration)
1 Use the arrow keys on the control panel to
manoeuvre through the different menus.
Press the right arrow key to access the
menu tree.
2 Scroll to 4 Gas Detectors and press
Continue.
3 Scroll to the detector that should be
calibrated and press Options.
4 Scroll to 2 Calibrate Zero and choose
Continue.
NOTE!
There will be a padlock on this
menu if you are not in access level
3 or above. You will be prompted to
enter the access code for level 3
before you can continue.
5 You have to confirm your selection before
you can proceed.
NOTE!
The detector will be disabled
during the whole calibration
process and 15 minutes after to
prevent unwanted alarms.
Press Continue to proceed.
6 Now you will be in the zero calibration
menu and able to see the real time value of
the detector.
Use the and keys to zero calibrate
the gas detector.
Press Continue to proceed.
7 If the ambient air is NOT considered
reliable to use to set the zero, apply a clean
source of zero gas or compressed air to the
gas detector.
Wait for a minimum of two minutes to
ensure that the gas reading is stabile.

8 After the gas detector reading has stabilized
press Calibrate.
9 You will get a confirmation message that
the detector has been successfully
calibrated.
Press Close to get back to menu Gas
Detectors.
10 CAUTION!
If a zero gas or compressed air has
been used during calibration make
sure to close all valves and
disconnect it from the detector.
1.3 Calibrating the sensor (Span calibration)
1 Use the arrow keys on the control panel to
manoeuvre through the different menus.
Press the right arrow key to access the
menu tree.
2 Scroll to 4 Gas Detectors and press
Continue.
3 Scroll to the detector that should be
calibrated and press Options.
4 Scroll to 1 Calibrate Span and choose
Continue.
There will be a padlock on this menu if you
are not in access level 3 or above. You will
be prompted to enter the access code for
level 3 before you can continue.
5 You have to confirm your selection before
you can proceed.
NOTE!
The detector will be disabled
during the whole calibration
process and 15 minutes after to
prevent unwanted alarms.
Press Continue to proceed.

6Use the and keys to enter
calibration gas concentration that will be
used during the span calibration; the default
value will be half of the detector range.
Press Continue to proceed.
7 In the Span calibration menu you will be
able to see the real time value of the
detector.
8 Apply calibration gas to the detector.
Wait for a minimum of two minutes to
ensure that the gas reading is stabile.
9 After the gas detector reading has stabilized
press Calibrate.
10 You will get a confirmation message that
the detector has been successfully
calibrated.
Press Close to get back to menu Gas
Detectors.
11 Close all valves on the calibration test gas
and disconnect it from the detector.
The detector has now been
calibrated from the control
panel.
1.4 Reconnecting disabled detectors
All disablements in the Salwico GS5000 gas detection system are presented in the
disablements list. Any enablement is made from this list.
1 Scroll to Menu » Disablements.
2 Choose the detector you just disabled and press Options.
3 Select Reconnect and press Continue.
