Calibration – Oxygen
Attention!
The instrument must be calibrated if, during operation, a value different
from 20.8% oxygen in the ambient air is displayed.
In the event of extreme changes in the air pressure or the atmospheric
temperature, false alarms can be created.
Therefore, calibrate the instrument under the conditions of use. The
calibration must be carried out in clean, non-contaminated ambient air.
Carry out the calibration as follows:

The fresh air equalisation must be carried out in clean, non-
contaminated ambient air.
During the process, do not breathe on the sensor.
If no fresh air equalisation is carried out, the instrument returns to
normal operating mode.

The current values were not changed.
(4) If calibration fails, check:
 that the equalisation was carried out in clean ambient air,
 that during the equalisation, you did not breath on the sensor.
