Performing the response test

1. Screw the regulator into the calibration cylinder. The sample will begin to flow.

2. Allow the gas to flow for two minutes, then verify that the reading is within ± 10% of the

response reading you determined earlier.

NOTE: If the reading is not within ± 10% of the correct response reading, calibrate the

transmitter as described in the Calibration section of this manual.

3. Unscrew the regulator from the calibration cylinder.

4. Unscrew the calibration cup from the CO detector.

5. Remove the voltmeter leads from the amplifier test points.

6. Reinstall the junction box cover.

7. When the controller display reading falls below the alarm setpoints, return the controller to

normal operation.
