MultiRAE Maintenance Span Gas Calibration Explained Step-by-Step
Welcome to this blog post, where we will be discussing span calibration for MultiRAE products. Span calibration is a crucial step that ensures accurate measurement and is recommended to be performed every 180 days, in accordance with national and regional regulations. In this post, we will be discussing the manual span calibration process and the two ways in which it can be performed - calibrating each sensor individually or calibrating multiple sensors at the same time. We’ll also review the step by step process to perform the multi sensor calibration process.
So, let’s get started!
Performing a span calibration on the Rae Systems MultiRae Pro on a periodic basis is necessary to ensure proper functioning of the device. This calibration process can be done either manually or automatically using the Rae Systems Ornery Test Calibration Station. The manual calibration process requires two steps; a simultaneous calibration of the oxygen, LEL, CO, and H2S sensors followed by the calibration of the P2P-BPD sensor.
To enter the programming menu, the mode and enter buttons need to be simultaneously pressed and held until the password screen appears. Here, a default password can be entered and if the user does not know this password, they will still be able to enter the basic calibration menu. From here, a multi-sensor span calibration process can be utilized by entering the calibration menu. This calibration will use a calibration adapter installed on a gas cylinder containing 10ppm hydrogen sulfide, 50ppm carbon monoxide, 2.5% volume methane and 18% oxygen. With the gas flow started, a 60-second countdown will begin and if necessary, the process can be aborted.
- Overview of Span Calibration: Review the necessity of a span calibration and the two steps required for a manual calibration.
- Requirements for Span Calibration: Prerequisites for manual span calibration including gas cylinder specifications and usage of a calibration adapter.
- Detailed Step-by-Step Guide for Manual Span Calibration: Step-by-step instructions for entering the programming menu, entering the calibration menu, and starting the calibration process.
In conclusion, this video provided an overview of how to perform a multi-sensor span calibration on the MultiRAE. Span calibration is an important process that should be done periodically to make sure MultiRAE is working correctly. It can be done manually using a calibration adapter or with the Race Systems Calibration Station. With these steps you can ensure your MultiRAE works correctly and safely.
