Indicació d'alarma:

If the N2 gas concentration exceeds the set low or high alarm points, the device will activate its audible, visual (light), and vibrating alarms to alert the user.

7. Calibració

Regular calibration is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and reliability of the gas detector. Calibration should be performed by qualified professionals using necessary accessories and standard gas. Typically, calibration should be done yearly.

Calibratge zero:

Zero calibration is performed when the drifting is too large after the reading is stable, or if an alarm occurs unexpectedly. This ensures the device reads zero in a clean air environment.

Span Calibration (Target Point Calibration):

Span calibration involves applying a standard gas of a specific known concentration to the sensor without atmospheric dilution. The calibration result should match the concentration of the standard gas.

Procediment de calibratge:

1. Connect the standard gas to the detector.
2. Premeu MENÚ and navigate to 'Calibrate span'. Press OK.
3. Enter the password (default is 2020). Use arrow keys to change digits and OK to confirm each digit.
4. Set the value to match the standard gas concentration (e.g., 502.0). Use arrow keys to adjust and OK per confirmar.
5. The device will indicate successful calibration.

8. Emmagatzematge de dades

The device has a memory function to retrieve history data and map out trends of gas density. It also features a USB port for high-speed data transmission to a computer for easier analysis.

Configuració d'emmagatzematge:

1. From the main menu, navigate to 'Storage set'.
2. You can enable or disable the storage function by using the arrow keys and confirming with OK. Note that the storage function is OFF by default every time the device is turned on.
