5.2 Calibration of the EX-5130-IS
Calibration is the process of setting the instrument up to read accurately when exposed to a target gas. The Zero
function sets the clean air reference point and the Span function sets the sensitivity of the instrument.
Initial Calibration: Wait 24 hours after initially supplying power to the EX-5130-IS sensor/transmitter (S/T) before
initial calibration. The S/T has been pre-calibrated at the factory, and initial field calibration should result in only fine
tuning to circuit, as well as a way to check that installation is successful. It is not necessary to open the enclosure to
make adjustment. The calibration functions are operated with magnets from outside the enclosure through the
MENU
and SELECT switches. Do Not open the S/T unless the area is de-classified.
Calibration Zero and Span functions are two separate procedures. They operate independently of each other. It is
recommended that the Zero procedure be done prior to the Span procedure.
ENMET Corporation recommends at least
quarterly calibration of the EX-5130-IS transmitters.
Calibration equipment is available from ENMET Corporation to calibrate the EX-5130-IS sensor/transmitters. A
calibration adapter will have a fitting for the gas cylinder on one side, and a cover to go over the sensor housing on the
other.
Generally, a cylinder of 20.9% Oxygen is used to provide a fresh air reference or Zero point for the calibration.
Another cylinder is used to provide the Span reference point for calibration. Depending on the instrument calibration,
the Span gas may be the same gas that the instrument is calibrated to display, or it may be another gas, which
ENMET
has found to have a similar response.
