CaLIBRaTION
In the event the PIRVOLVR optics are fouled and complete
dis-assembly is required for cleaning, a zero calibration
of the device may be required. This procedure ensures
the signal output level is at 4 mA, and does not require
application of span gas.
NOTE
Zero drift will be indicated by a constant offset in
one direction either above or below 4 mA. The
presence of background gas would be indicated
by a small but constantly changing output.
IMPORTANT CALIBRATION NOTES
Ensure that the detector has been operating for
at least two hours before calibrating.
Do not open the explosion-proof enclosure
when power is applied to the system unless the
appropriate permits have been procured.
Calibration procedure
To perform a zero calibration of the PIRVOLVR, follow the
sequence described in Table 3.
NOTE
The calibration sequence is initiated by
momentarily connecting the calibration lead to
the negative lead (common) of the power supply
using either the Cal Magnet or an external
switch. If the Det-Tronics PIRTB with magnetic
Cal Switch is being used, this is accomplished
by holding the Cal Magnet near the side of the
termination box for one second. The location
of the Cal Switch is shown in Figure 10. An
alternate way of accomplishing this is to install a
pushbutton switch between the yellow lead and
the power supply common.
Factory calibration is recommended for complete device
calibration. Contact Det-Tronics for additional information.
