Location 86 MultiRAE User s Guide 11 3 Zero Fresh Air Calibration This operation sets the zero point of the sensor calibration curve for clean air It should be performed before other calibrations IMPORTANT Even though most toxic gas sensors can be zeroed in fresh air sensors such as the CO and the parts per billion PID sensor for volatile organic compounds VOCs should not be zeroed in fresh air Both CO gas and VOCs are normally present in ambient air so zeroing these sensors in ambient air will not allow for a true zero to be set for such sensors The CO sensor should be zeroed in 99 9 nitrogen and the parts per billion PID sensor should be zeroed with ambient air using a charcoal filter or a VOC zeroing tube Note If you use a zero air or other gas cylinder you must use the MulttRAE Calibration Adapter A calibration adapter is not necessary for calibration in fresh air 11 3 1 Zero Calibration For A CO2 Sensor IMPORTANT If your MultiRAE is equipped with a CO sensor it must be zero calibrated using 100 Nitrogen N2 which is inert instead of fresh air or zero air 11 3 2 Zero Calibration For Parts Per Billion ppb Sensor IMPORTANT The parts per billion PID sensor for volatile organic compounds VOCs should not be zeroed in fresh air VOCs are normally present in ambient air so zeroing the sensor in ambient air will not allow for a true zero to be set The parts per billion PID sensor should be zeroed with
