4.5 Sensor Calibration and Bump Test
Before the unit can monitor gas correctly, it needs to be calibrated using zero and span gas.
Calibration and Bump Tests are recorded in the instrument datalog for compliance purposes.
4.5.1 Zero (Fresh Air) Calibration
Zero calibration sets the baseline for the sensor. It is preferably done in fresh air at the same
ambient temperature and humidity as will be used for measurements. However, nitrogen, dry
cylinder air, or other gas source known to be free of detectable compounds can also be used. One
exception is that for an oxygen (O2) sensor the Fresh Air Calibration sets the value to 20.9%, so
air must be used.
From the menu, press the Left Key to start a zero calibration. The unit displays a
15-second count-down followed by the calibration result as either or .The
user can abort the zero calibration during the count-down by pressing the Right Key, after which
is displayed.

UNI MP100 User’s Guide

4.5.2 Span Calibration
Span calibration determines the sensitivity of the sensor to the gas. Recommended calibration
gases and concentrations are listed in Section 7.7 at the end of this manual and in TA Note 4
(available at www.mpowerinc.com). Special calibration procedures for highly reactive gases are
described in TA Note 6. Oxygen sensor calibration is reversed from other sensors and uses pure
nitrogen with 0% oxygen during the span procedure and 20.9% oxygen (air) during the fresh air
“zero”procedure. We recommend using a fixed flow regulator of at least 0.3 LPM but no more
than 0.6 LPM. Use as short tubing connections as possible.
Span Calibration Procedure
1. Connect the Calibration Adapter to the span gas cylinder’s regulator and snap it into place
over the UNI sensor.
2. Enter the menu, start the gas flow, and press the Left Key to start the calibration
count-down. The calibration time is typically 60 seconds but may be shorter or longer
depending on the sensor type.
3. To abort the span calibration during count-down, press the Right Key and is
displayed.
4. After count-down, the span calibration result or is displayed.
5. Turn off the gas supply and remove the Calibration Adapter.
CAUTION
During normal monitoring, never operate the MP100 with the Calibration Adaptor attached
because it will block diffusion of gas into the sensor.

4.5.3 Bump Test
A Bump Test is a quick check to ensure that the sensor and alarms are working properly. It is
done with the same gas as is used for span calibration. Enter the menu, start the gas flow,
then press the Left Key to start bump count-down (typically 45 seconds, but varies with sensor).
After count-down, the bump test result or is displayed.
To abort the bump test during count-down, press the Right Key and is displayed.
Although a Bump Test is a recorded event in the datalog, the user can always do an unrecorded
bump check such as by breathing into an oxygen monitor just to verify that the sensor and alarms
are functioning.
