performance of the sample-draw detector. It includes daily and quarterly procedures.
Daily
1.
Verify that the recommended flow indicator is indicating flow.
2.
Verify a display reading of 0%LEL at the controller. Investigate significant changes in
the display reading.
Quarterly
Calibrate the sample-draw detector as described in the “Calibration” section on page 10.
Troubleshooting
The troubleshooting guide describes symptoms, probable causes, and recommended
action for problems you may encounter with the Model 1017-01.

calibration procedure.
•
The detector requires frequent calibration.
NOTE:
Under “normal” circumstances, the detector requires calibration once every three
months. Some applications may require a more frequent calibration schedule.
