Macurco CM-6/CM-12 Manual (Rev-1.1) Eng
7.2 Calibration and Test Kits
The following steps must be performed when conducting a calibration or calibration
verification test (bump test) to ensure proper performance of the monitor. Failure to do so
may adversely affect product performance.
•
When performing a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test) only use
certified calibration gas at the required concentration level.
•
Do not test with expired calibration gas.
•
Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover.
•
Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and are free of debris
Failure to follow instructions outlined in this user manual can result in sickness or death.
•
When performing a calibration or calibration verification test (bump test) only use certified calibration gas at the
required concentration level. Do not calibrate with expired calibration gas.
•
If the instrument cannot be calibrated, do not use until the reason can be determined and corrected.
•
Do not cover or obstruct display or visual alarm cover.
•
Ensure sensor inlets are unobstructed and is free of debris
A Field Calibration Kit, CM6-FCK, is needed to complete a CO gas test. These are available through local distribution or from
Macurco.
NOTE: CM-xx must be tested at regular intervals in accordance with the requirements of the National Fire Protection
Association (NFPA) 720.
Contents of the FCK
•
CM6-FCK: (2) Gas Cylinders, (1) 17L 50ppm carbon monoxide (CO) in air and (1) 17L 200 ppm carbon monoxide (CO) in
air
•
Gas regulator with about two feet of plastic tubing
•
Humidifier
•
CM-6-CH calibration hood
FCK Information
Several detectors can be calibrated with one FCK. The only limitation is the amount of gas in the cylinder. The 17-liter cylinder
has approximately 85 minutes of continuous calibration run time. Replacement cylinders are available. The gas cylinder should
be replaced when the pressure gauge on the regulator shows 25-psi or less.
Note: For optimum test results it is suggested that the unit be in clean air, green light on, and be in a low ambient air flow.
