 Weld Purge Monitor supply and calibration


Full scale calibration

To calibrate a sensor, remove the housing cover and expose it to atmospheric oxygen. Replace the cover after two minutes and press the calibrate button for 5 seconds. The monitor should read approximately 20.94% after this time. If the reading varies significantly, hold the calibrate button again to re-calibrate the monitor.

Zero calibration

1. Switch the monitor on and press and hold the 'Cal' and 'On/Off' buttons simultaneously for 20 seconds. Repeat the full calibration procedure.

2. Connect the sample tube to a supply of 99.99% Argon with a flow of 1 - 2 litres/min (2 - 4 CFH) using the freeflow method.

3. After reading for about 10 minutes and displaying below 1%, press and hold the calibrate button for 5 seconds. The monitor will indicate calibration mode by flashing 'CAL' on the screen.

4. Wait for the reading to stabilize and take a reference reading, which should take several minutes. Once complete, the screen will stop flashing 'CAL' and display ~0.00%.

5. Repeat the full calibration by pushing the 'cal' button until ±20.94 appears on the screen.
