3. After the sensor has been purged for at least two weeks and the

baseline is stable, monitor the oxygen reading and ambient
temperature over a minimum period of 24 hours.
Take the maximum and minimum oxygen readings, and the
maximum and minimum temperature readings.

4. Calculate the coefficient using the relation:

Coefficient = (O

2

max

- O

2

min

) ÷ (Temp

max

- Temp

min

)

For example:

In a 24 hour run:

O

2

max

= 3.55 ppb

O

2

min

= 1.75 ppb

Temp

max

= 24.5 degrees C.

Temp

min

= 22.1 degrees C.

Coefficient = (3.55-1.75)ppb ÷ (24.5-22.1) °C = 0.75 ppb/°C.

This value is currently set to zero, since the sensor is

temperature controlled and should be left at zero unless qualified
personnel give instructions to change it.

The Set Defaults button will reset all parameters in the software,

such as calibration, alarm and range settings, Filter, Gas Factor,
temperature coefficient, etc. to their factory default values. Some of the
