1. 1. Calibration
      1. Summary:

The calibration of LH1500 Online Gas Leakage Analyzer is mainly refers to the transmitters. It has been calibrated at the factory according to standard application conditions.







 

• 1. 1. Required Equipments and Materials
• Zero Point Gas:Clean air

 

• Linear Gas:(1.50~2.50)% Hydrogen of standard gas(the background gas is air)

Note: The calibration accuracy depends on the quality of zero point gas and standard gas as well as the accuracy of output current by the standard power supply.







 

1. 1. 1. Calibration methods

 

Calibration methods are the same for each transmitter. See Figure 6.12 for the appearance dimension of the transmitter.Figure 6.12 Transmitter appearance dimension
Before the transmitter calibration,the front cover of the transmitter should be taken off first, please turn it in anti-clockwise rotation, a circuit board will be found inside after screwing the cover slowly. The adjustable potentiometer is on the circuit board, the potentiometer zero mark as ZERO, and the potentiometer span mark as SPAN. The calibration method is as follows.

1. Zero point calibration:Put the sensor side of the transmitter into the zero point gas (usually clean air). After the indication of the host machine gets stable, adjust the current to 0% with potentiometer ZERO (low in clockwise and high in anti-clockwise) if the reading is not 0%.
2. Linear calibration : Input the linear standard gas to the inlet of the transmitter (recommended

standard gas is (1.50~2.50)% Hydrogen and the background gas is air) and adjust the flow rate to (200~300) mL/min. After the host machine gets stable, if the display value does not accord with the standard gas, adjust the potentiometer SPAN (turn clockwise and counterclockwise) until the display value is consistent with the standard gas value.

 

Follow the same operation to calibrate the other transmitters.

When calibration completed, properly install the cover with the transmitter.

Note:Make sure the correct wire connection otherwise the transmitter might be damaged. When calibration is performed in the field, do avoid of generating explosive gas mixture.
Notes: Please contact the manufacturer or supplier for calibrating GD6102 gas flow purity analyzer transmitter.

1. 1. 1. Calibration Cycle

User calibration cycle: In the field, user can check the measurement accuracy with reference standards when the instrument is running. The calibration cycle of LH1500 online Gas leakage analyzer is 12 months. When the measured gas humidity is higher or the concentration of Hydrogen is higher, shorten the calibration cycle accordingly. The analyzer should be calibrated in time after replacing the main components or repairing.
