16 Monitoring tcGas

Calibrating the tcGas Transducer

4Press CAL on the module until the light above the key comes on and wait (three - 20 minutes) for the “calibration complete” message to appear on the monitor. Alternatively, in the Setup tcGas menu, select Start Calibration. To save gas on 15210B, if the timer control dial is not in the start position when the monitor displays the calibration complete message, turn the dial counter- clockwise to the start position. For TCC3, if the green light is still flashing when INOP “tcGas CalRunning” disappears, press the green arrow button again.

Calibration Failure

If calibration fails, the monitor displays “...tcGas transducer or Cal Unit malf” and the CAL FAILED INOP for the measurement.

Troubleshooting tcGas Calibration

Perform each of the following steps, in order, until calibration is successful.

1Check the calibration unit, then recalibrate, remembering to turn on the gas supply on the calibration unit. If the pressure indicator reading is in the out of gas zone, there is insufficient gas in the cylinder. Connect the gas tubing firmly to the calibration unit and to the module’s calibration chamber.

2If Step 1 fails, check whether you need to activate the transducer (necessary if the electrolyte has dried out or if you have a new transducer). Remembrane the transducer, removing the old membranes, and cleaning the transducer head thoroughly.

3Calibrate a second time.

4If Step 2 is unsuccessful, calibrate again. This calibration may be required to stabilize the electrochemical system in the transducer.

5Only if the above steps are unsuccessful (you have activated and remembraned the transducer and calibration has still failed twice), replace the transducer.
