5. Return to Normal is complete when:

A. The onboard LED changes from “off” to steady

green.

B. The LED within the PIRTB (if used) turns off.
C. The Eclipse current output returns to greater than/

equal to 4.35 mA after the detected calibration

gas level drops below 0.1%/vol of CO

, or the

calibration abort signal is provided.

TIMe oUT
If calibration is not completed within 10 minutes, a

calibration-failed fault is generated, and the unit returns

to normal operation using the previous calibration values.

NoTe

Under normal conditions, span calibration is
typically completed in 3 minutes or less.

CalIbraTIon aborT
Calibration can be aborted at any time after zero

calibration is completed. This is done by activating the

onboard or PIRTB magnetic switch, or by a command

from the HART or MODBUS interface. If calibration is

terminated, the new zero point is retained, and a zero

calibration code is saved in the calibration history buffer.

The unit will immediately return to normal operation.
