TARGET Series

ENMET Corporation

3.5.2 Calibration Status

The TARGETinstrument keeps track of the date of last calibration for each sensor. To view the last calibration date, press and hold the Menu button to enter the Pop-Upmenu. Press the MENU button two times to move the asterisk to the Cal Status position, then the SELECT button once to select the Calibration Status screen. The display shows the status of up to three sensors. Press the SELECT button to view the remaining sensors. If any of the sensors are overdue for calibration, Calibration due is displayed next to it. If a sensor has failed a calibration, Cal error is displayed next to appropriate sensor.

NOTE: OK appears next to each sensor that has been calibrated within the last 90 days. Field tests must still be performed to confirm the performance status of each sensor.

3.5.3 Combustible Gas Display

Combustible gases vary considerably with respect to their flammable nature. Some gases are flammable at lower concentrations than others. The TARGETinstrument has ten flammable gases response characteristics programmed in memory. Each gas has a different coefficient (K) that is used to compensate the instrument display:

Propane

Butane

Toluene

Xylene

The combustible sensor cannot determine which gas is present. When the combustible gas is unknown, it is recommended to change the display to higher K (coefficient) value gas. Hexane or Xylene may not be the gases present, but using their K value substantially increase, the instrument’s sensitivity to flammable gases.

To select a different combustible gas display, press and hold the Menu button to enter the Pop-Upmenu. Press the MENU button three times to move the asterisk to the Comb disp position. Press the SELECT button once to choose this screen. Press the MENU button to sequence through the list shown in Table 2. The instrument automatically changes the combustible display to the last one displayed.

3.5.4 Locations

The TARGETinstrument has the ability to store user name or locations. They are entered into the instrument using the TARGETTrakker software package, see section 7.0 for part number information. Set in accordance with software manual.
