units are factory calibrated as detailed on the calibration certificate supplied with the
instrument. However, it is always advisable after installation to confirm that the instrument reads zero with no gas
present and responds accurately when presented with an appropriate concentration of the target gas.
The
EX-6120, 6165 S
ERIES
IR
display becomes operational within 60 seconds however; the sensor should be allowed
to stabilize for the period of five to ten minutes before attempting to check the zero setting and gas response.
Refer to Figure 9 showing the arrangement for applying the test gas to the
EX-6120, 6165 S
ERIES
IR
.
1.
Before application of the test gas, check that the
EX-6120, 6165 S
ERIES
IR
reads zero with no known gas
present in the atmosphere. If necessary, carry out adjustment of the zero setting as described in section 5.1.1
2.
Apply the test gas and allow a sufficient time for the sample to reach the gas detector and for the sensor
response to stabilize.
Carrying out the above procedure, and comparing the results with previous readings, reference the certificate of
calibration, will confirm that the
EX-6120, 6165 S
ERIES
IR
is functioning correctly, both physically and electrically.
There is therefore no requirement for any further maintenance other than to clean the display window as required.
In the unlikely event that the response has changed from the previous readings, recalibrate the unit. See Section 5.1.1
and 5.1.2.
