What is CALIBRATION? ROBUST WORK DESIGN
Your detector comes already calibrated, ready to use. Turn ON and
GO. However, calibration is an important function to be performed
The professional series detector is a robustly
to ensure your gas detector operates accurately (EVERY 6 designed unit. It arrives with a sling, calibration cap
MONTHS). Accuracy and Calibration drift can happen over time and cable charger with an attached metal belt clip.
because of chemical degradation of sensors and the natural drift The detector conforms to a variety of qualifications:
in electronic components. There are two parts to the calibration, CE ATEX certified Ex ib IIB T3 Gb
ZERO Calibration and SPAN Calibration. IP65 certified
ZERO CALIBRATION: Ensures a good baseline to ZERO target gas
exposure. This ensures the detector reads a true ZERO. For
example, for CO detectors, this is performed in fresh air, with NO
carbon monoxide present.
SPAN CALIBRATION: Ensures accurate gas concentration
reading (i.e. ensure that the display reading in ppm is accurate and
true). For example, an OSHA safety officer using a CO detector
used in the field would want to calibrate to a concentration of
50ppm, since ambient CO is usually in the lower range. The span
calibration gas concentration chosen is best chosen to represent
the concentration that the sensor typically is exposed to, as to
ensure maximum accuracy for daily application usage.
What is Bump Testing?
Bump testing is to expose the gas detector to a small
amount “blast” of target gas to ensure the detector Product Tested, Calibrated, QA/QC in California, USA
operates and alarms as programmed. The function of this Product Packaged in California, USA
test is to verify detection operation and build user Product Made in China
