Chapter 2,
Calibration
The Ultima/Ultima X Series Gas Monitor provides non-intrusive
calibration through the use of the Ultima Controller/Calibrator.
When calibrating any Ultima/Ultima X Series Gas Monitor which has
any accessory attached to it, refer to the accessory manual for complete
calibration instructions. Some accessories for the Ultima/Ultima X
Series Gas Monitor include:
• Ultima Sampling Module
• Ultima Auto-Cal Module.
While factory calibration is standard practice for the Ultima/Ultima X
Series Gas Monitors, it is recommended to perform an INITIAL
calibration when first placing the unit into operation. Refer to the
"Initial Calibration" portion of this Chapter.
It is good practice to read the appropriate calibration instructions before
attempting an actual calibration. Also, identify and become familiar with
all of the calibration components. During the calibration, it is necessary
to quickly apply the span gas to the unit. Prior connection of the
calibration components will aid in ease of unit calibration.
Equipment Required
Three calibration kits (numbered 40, 41, and 54; see FIGURES 2-1, 2-2,
and 2-3) are available from MSA for diffusion Ultima/Ultima X Series
Gas Monitors. Kit 40, 41, and 54 are housed in a convenient carrying
case and contain all items necessary (less gas) for a complete and
accurate calibration.
These Kits do not calibrate Ultima Sampling Modules or an
Ultima/Ultima X Series unit equipped with a flow cap. For flow or
sample module systems, refer to the Ultima Aspirated Sampling Module
Manual (P/N 710200) or to the Ultima DC Pump Sampling Module
Manual (P/N 710201).
NOTE: The calibration procedure for the sample draw Ultima XE/XA
Monitor is the same as the procedure for the diffusion version,
except calibration gas is applied to the calibration entry port of
the inlet flow block, and the cal kit for pumped units provides a
flow matching regulator.
2-1

The check or calibration gases can also be carried in the case. See
TABLE 2-1 for the appropriate zero and span gas cylinders for your
Ultima/Ultima X Series Gas Monitor.
TABLE 2-1 shows the recommended calibration kit for Ultima and
Ultima X Series Gas Monitors. Typically, Cal Kit 41 uses a 0.25 LPM
regulator and a calibration cap to contain the calibration gas.
Cal Kits 40 and 54 use a 1.5 LPM regulator and no calibration cap.
If Cal Kit 41 is recommended and the application is such that the
calibration cap cannot be used (such as for a remote sensor
application), Cal Kit 40 may be used. However, any time Cal Kit 40 is
used, ambient wind conditions must be minimized to avoid a calibration
with increased sensitivity.
NOTE: The Ultima XIR uses Cal Kit 40 and does require a calibration
cap. This calibration cap (P/N 10041533) is shipped with
the product.
These calibration kits contain zero caps to use in place of
zero calibration gas. These caps can only be used when
the ambient air does not contain the gas the monitor is
detecting. If there is any doubt, use zero gas when zeroing
the Ultima X Monitor; otherwise, improper calibration
could occur.
Span Gas Values
The Ultima/Ultima X Monitor is factory-shipped with a preset span gas
value (TABLE 2-1). This span gas value can be changed via the Ultima
Controller; otherwise, the span gas must correspond to preset
concentrations. See Section 3 to change the span gas value. The span
gas value of Ultima/Ultima X Gas Monitor catalytic combustible models
are pre-set to one of the broad categories shown in TABLE 2-1. Specific
span gas values for all combustible models are listed under each
category given in TABLE 2-2.
Always calibrate for the least sensitive gas or vapor (higher
number category) expected to be measured (TABLE 2-2);
otherwise, instrument readings may be incorrect.
