Note: If the message "CAL", followed by the message "Er" flashes on the display after entering the desired calibration value, the system has determined that the entered value will not allow operation within the specified output range of the sensor. This situation may occur if:
a)the operator has inadvertently entered the wrong concentration for the calibration gas.
b)the concentration of the calibration gas is not correct.
c)the sensor is in need of replacement.
d)the operator attempted to adjust the analyzer before allowing sufficient time for the calibration gas to purge out the previous sample.
e)the flow and pressure of the calibration gas was not properly regulated.
Check these items and repeat calibration. If calibration error continues to occur, contact the service department of the distributor from which the unit was purchased, or you may call Maxtec's Customer Service Department directly.
