To start the generator, insert the generating cell. In the bump station

configuration, press the button protruding from the bottom of the cell.

The RED LEDs will light to indicate battery life remaining. All 10 LEDs

indicate fully charged batteries. If only one RED LED is observed, the

batteries are near depletion. During the battery test time, current is supplied

to the generating cell and the air pump is not turned on in an attempt to speed

up equilibrium time. This helps to saturate the generating cell with gas.

After the battery life indication, the pump will start to pump air through the

instrument and the GREEN LEDs will begin to flash approximately once

every 4 seconds. The flashing GREEN LEDs will indicate the time remaining

in the generating cell as follows:

 10 LEDs lit indicates that 2 hours remain on the cell.

1 LED lit indicates less than 12 minutes of calibration time remain.



These are the normal operating conditions for the CAL-101. Complete

equilibrium may take an additional two to five minutes, depending upon the

type and amount of gas being generated and the operating conditions of

the instrument. In the bump station configuration the unit will automatically

shut off after thirty seconds.

When the generating cell is inserted, if all 10 green LEDs come on constant,

this indicates a cell failure. Remove the cell and wait for all LED's to turn off,

then re-insert ensuring that the cell is fully inserted correctly and properly

aligned.

If the GREEN LEDs 'ramp' up and down from max to min this indicates that

the cell life is depleted and a new generating cell should be purchased.

At any time the instrument may be turned off by removing the generating

cell. The GREEN LEDs will all light indicating cell failure and the instrument

will then shut off.
