Procedure 
AII-3000 Series Oxygen Analyzers employ the identical calibration routine and 
displays but they differ slightly in the way they arrive at the display that initi-
ates calibration routine. Refer to Set-Up illustration and references above for 
gas connections. 
 
1. AII-3000 A/AHC - Press the 21% key under 
 the word CALIBRATION on the front panel. 
 
1a. AII-3000 M/MHC - Requires navigating its menu to reach the 
 display that initiates the calibration routine. 
 a. From the SAMPLING menu, press 
 MENU to display the MAIN MENU 
 b. Press the UP/DOWN arrow keys to 
 highlight CALIBRATE 
 c. Press ENTER to select CALIBRATE (the 
 four (4) alarm indicators are disabled 
 during the calibration routine) 
 
 Both of the above produce the following display which initiates the 
 calibration routine. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3. The above prompt remains on the display until: 
 a. The operator presses ENTER to proceed or 
 b. The ESCAPE key on the AII-3000 A/A HC or the MENU key on the 
 AII-3000 M/MHC to abort and return to the SAMPLING mode. 
4. Expose the sensor to a known source of fresh ambient air or certified 21% 
 (dry, non-humidified) oxygen nitrogen mix but not the oxygen enriched 
 room air commonly found in hospitals. 
5. Once a suitable calibration gas is intro- 
 duced, press ENTER to initiate calibration 
 as displayed right and disable the key 
 pad (to prevent the calibration routine 
 from being interrupted). 
6. This display appears for sixty (60) seconds 
 to allow the sensor to stabilize before 
 the microprocessor takes the final reading.

7. If the calibration is successful, the display below left appears for 
 three (3) seconds before defaulting to the display below right: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
8. The display above right requires a decision by the user (refer to 
 warnings at the beginning of section 4.7) to press ENTER and 
 skip the 100% O2 calibration and return to the SAMPLING mode; 
 or, wait ten (10) seconds for the following display: 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
9. Repeat steps #3 through #6 using a certified source of 100% oxygen. 
 
10. If the calibration is successful, the display 
 at right appears for five (5) seconds before 
 defaulting to the SAMPLING mode. 
 
 
 
 
Calibration Fails 
An unsuccessful calibration can be caused by 
several problems as displayed at right: 
 
If after three (3) unsuccessful attempts to 
calibrate: review section 7 for possible causes 
and corrective action or contact Advanced In-
struments Inc. at 909-392-6900. 
 
To abort the RETRY press ESCAPE (analyzer) or MENU (monitor). Do 
not proceed until the analyzer is calibration successfully.
