| ASIV Calibration - INSTRUCTIONS FOR CALIBRATING THE ALCO SENSOR IV |
|
1) To begin the Calibration, gently press Switch
#1 and hold it down with calibration tool.
2) While the calibration tool is pressed in
Switch #1, insert the mouthpiece. Inserting the mouthpiece turns the
unit ON.
Four red squares should appear on the display. If they do not,
remove the mouthpiece and start the process again.
3)
If "Set" displays at any time during the calibration procedure,
press the SET button, then proceed.

the mouthpiece is inserted, take the calibration tool out of Switch #1
then press and hold the tool on the far right Switch (Switch #3).
While the tool is depressing Switch #3, an automatic air blank will occur,
followed by .000 indicating the instrument is alcohol-free prior to the
calibration.
Keep the tool gently pressed down in
Switch #3 until the .000 is replaced with a different number. |

Observe the number displayed and remove the tool from Switch #3. The
reading displayed represents the last calibration setting. In the
picture you can see that the last calibration value was .100. |

6) In
this example we are calibrating the instrument with a dry gas standard
that has a current expected value of .080. In order to calibrate the
instrument to this level, we will need to adjust the number displayed so
that it matches the current
expected value of the calibration
standard. Adjust the calibration reading to match the standard you
are using by pressing the tool into the Switch #1 (increments up) and
Switch #2 (increments
down) as needed. When the number on the display matches the
current expected value of your standard, press Switch #3. This will
indicate to the instrument that in this scenario it is about to be
calibrated with a gas standard with a value of .080.
7) Once Switch #3 has been pressed "Cal"
will flash on the display indicating that the instrument is ready to
accept the standard sample.
