Alternative Calibration with Gas Bag
Preparing the Calibration Gas Bag and the Zero Air Bag
Connecting the MicroFID II with calibration kit (Part No. MX396011) as follows:
WARNING
Observe proper handling techniques for all gases! See
Compressed Gases section
1. Connect the regulator to the calibration gas cylinder.
If you are using a portable tank of calibration gas, connect the regulator supplied with the
calibration kit.
If you are using a large cylinder of calibration gas, you must obtain a high purity regulator. Be
sure to match a regulator with the gas tank fitting. Connect the regulator to the tank of
calibration gas.
NOTE: Do not force the connection. Do not use Teflon tape with CGA fittings. In general, these
fittings are designed for metal to metal sealing. Do not use adapters to connect one CGA fitting
to another type of CGA fitting. If the regulator does not match the outlet on your calibration tank,
contact your specialty gas supplier.
2. Tighten the regulator onto the tank with a wrench. Do not over-tighten.
3. Attach the knurled nut on the gas bag adapter to the regulator. Finger-tighten the fitting
