Caution:
The AMC-SIR Refrigerant Gas sensor/transmitter must be in operation for 60 minutes
before calibration can be performed! Unless otherwise specified for the application, it
is recommended that the sensors be tested a minimum of twice a year and calibrated
when necessary.

5.2.1 ZERO VERIFICATION

The zero point should be checked with zero gas. Gas should be applied at 0.5lpm using the
AMC-FL1 calibration adapter, as shown in Figure 5-1.Once the sensor has been completely
purged, the output measured at the cal jack should be between 3.9 - 4.1mA. If the measured
value is:
Within this expected range proceed to Span Verification.
Greater than 4.8mA or less than 3.2mA, then an on site calibration will be required with
Armstrong Monitoring to recalibrate the sensor.
Slight zero deviations on the other hand can be re-adjusted using the Zero Recalibration
Procedure below.
Caution:
Only use pure zero gas consisting of nitrogen or air.
