BRATION
3.1
Calibration Frequency
3.1
.I
It is very important
to
verify accuracy on
a
regular basis
to
gvord
against any unexpected loss
of
sensitivity
due
to exposure
of
the
sensors to poisons present in the atmosphere being monitored;
due to aging or desiccation
of
the sensors; mechanical damage
from dropping or immersion; or due to any other
causes.
3.1.2
The safest possible course
of
action
is
to expose the sensors
to
a
known concentration test
gas
beFore use each day. This
'bump'
test
is
very
simple,
and
takes only a few seconds to accomplish. It
is not necessaryto

more than
15%
of applied gas concentration or t

procedure is followed, the
co
ibration interval
can
e
up to
90
days.

3.1.3
Ifyour operating procedures do not errnit daily checking ofthe
calibration. Lumidor recommends t
g
e
following procedure
to
establish
a
saFe
and
prudent check schedule.
*Initially,
over
a
period
of
at least
14
days,
check
the
res onse
P
!
daily to
be
sure there is nothin
in
your atmosphere t at
is
poisoning the sensors. This perio
of
initiol
use
must
be
sufficient
to ensure that the sensors ore
exposed
to
all conditions which
may have
an
adverse effect
on
the sensors.
If
the instrument displays
the
correct concentration levelafter
two
weeks,
on this schedule, the caiibrotion
i
ntervol
moy
be
extended to
two
weeks.
If instrument
does
not require colibration aher
2
months,
on
this schedule, the calibration interval
may
be extended
to
