OFTWARE
Operating software is menu listed with operator interface via the two magnetic program switches located under the
face plate. The two switches are referred to as “PGM 1” and “PGM 2”. The menu list consists of 3 items which
include sub-menus as indicated below. (Note: see the last page of this manual for a complete software f low chart.)
01. Normal Operation
a) Current Status
02. Calibration Mode
a) Zero
b) Span
03. Program Menu
a) Program Status
b) Calibration Level
3.4.1 Normal Operation
In normal operation, the display tracks the current status of the sensor and gas concentration and appears as:
“0 % LEL”. The mA current output corresponds to the monitoring level and range of 0-100% = 4-20 mA.
3.4.2 Calibration Mode
Calibration mode allows for sensor zero and span adjustments. “1-ZERO 2-SPAN”
3.4.2.1 Zero Adjustment
Zero is set in ambient air with no combustible gas present or with zero gas applied to the sensor. “AUTO ZERO”
3.4.2.2 Span Adjustment
Unless otherwise specif ied, span adjustment is performed at 50% LEL methane in air. “AUTO SPAN”
