WARNING
After the adjustment is completed, do not forget to return to the detection mode.

detection mode.)
The regular maintenance mode comes in two types: Calibration and maintenance modes. To enter the
calibration mode, press the DISPLAY switch with the T switch pressed in the detection mode and release
them when the buzzer sounds. To enter the maintenance mode, press the POWER switch with the S and
T switches pressed at power-on and release them when the buzzer sounds. The maintenance mode is
password-protected. The input of a password is needed in the beginning.

WARNING
About the bump test gas
The bump test gas is a hazardous gas (toxic, oxygen deficient, etc.). Handle the gas and related jigs and
tools with due care (e.g., the gas must not be inhaled or the gas sampling bag must not have any hole).
About the place for span adjustment
Perform span adjustment where no silicon, organic solvent, spray can gases, etc. are used.
Perform span adjustment indoors at normal temperature without remarkable fluctuation (within 5C).
Perform span adjustment in an exhaust booth.
CAUTION
The GAS OUT side of the pipe must be left open without any pipe connected. A supplied gas must be
discharged to a safe place.

3 Span Adjustment
<Adjustment Procedure>
Perform adjustment using the procedure shown below.
(1) Fresh air adjustment (AIR CAL) *1
Warm up the gas monitor for 60 minutes or longer before performing the fresh air
adjustment to ensure more accurate adjustment.
(2) Span adjustment (AUTO CAL or ONE CAL) *1
The gases may be introduced in random order.
Combustible gas (%LEL)
O2 gas *1
CO gas
H2S gas
(3) Zero adjustment for high-concentration combustible gases (VOL Z.CAL) (only TYPE-A, E) *1
N2 gas
(4) Span adjustment for high-concentration combustible gases (AUTO CAL or ONE CAL) (only
TYPE-A, E) *1
Combustible gas (vol%)
End of span adjustment
WARNING
When the fresh air adjustment is performed in the atmosphere, check the atmosphere for freshness
before beginning the adjustment. If other gases exist, the adjustment cannot be performed properly,
thus leading to dangers when the gas leaks.
CAUTION
Only Type-A, E
*1 Perform adjustment in the following order: "fresh air adjustment, span adjustment, zero adjustment
for high-concentration combustible gases, and span adjustment for high-concentration combustible
gases.
The sensor for high-concentration combustible gases has different outputs depending on whether the
base gas is air or N2. Performing adjustment in any different order than the above adversely
influences the reading taken when a combustible gas (vol%) is drawn in.
NOTE
Before starting the adjustment, let the gas monitor draw the gas and wait until the readings are stabilized.

NOTE
If the existence of other gases in the atmosphere is suspected before performing the fresh air adjustment,
collect fresh air in the gas sampling bag and perform the adjustment using a gas supply adapter in the same
way as for the span adjustment.
