Consult Safety Data Sheet 1M03296
before performing any work on the
CENELEC approved IFT 3000.
1. Test Gases for Fully Automatic Cali-
bration. For fully automatic calibration,
an MPS 3000 Multiprobe Test Gas Se-
quencer is required as well as the two
types of test gas.
Do not use 100% nitrogen as a zero
gas. It is suggested that gas for the
zero be between 0.4% and 2.0% O
2
. Do
not use gases with hydrocarbon con-
centrations of more than 40 parts per
million. Failure to use proper gases
will result in erroneous readings.
Two tanks of precision calibration gas
mixtures. Recommended calibration
gases are nominally 0.4 percent and
8.0 percent oxygen in nitrogen.
A typical automatic calibration system
is shown in Figure 3-5.
2. Fully Automatic Calibration Setup. In
order for the IFT system to calibrate
automatically, the following parameters
from the CALIBRATE sub-menu in the
IFT have to be entered. Refer to Table
3-5. SETUP Sub-Menu.
(a) Auto Cal YES/NO
Set to YES
(b) Output Tracks YES/NO
Set as desired to configure analog
output tracking.
(c) Cal Intrvl XD XH
Set the desired time between cali-
brations in number of days and
hours. (1 year max.)
(d) Next Cal. XD XH
Displays the time left to the start of
the next calibration. Set the de-
sired time until the start of the next
calibration. If nothing is entered
here, the unit will automatically
enter the cal intrvl and count down
from that. (1 year max.)
(e) Gas Time 0:00
Set the amount of time for the test
gasses to be turned on in number
of minutes and seconds, allow
enough time for signal values to
stabilize.
(f) Purge Time 0:00
Set the amount of time for the gas
lines to clear in number of minutes
and seconds.
(g) Abort Time 0:00
Set the amount of time allowed
between key functions before the
calibration procedure is aborted in
number of minutes and seconds.
(h) Res Alarm _____
Set the desired resistance alarm
between 50 - 10000 ohms.
Once these parameters have been set,
the system will initiate calibration with-
out operator intervention as set by the
CAL INTVL parameter.
3. Manually Initiated Fully Automatic Cali-
bration Procedure. The following pro-
cedure relates to an operator initiated
calibration, either by a remote switch
(CAL INIT on interconnect board) or
selected at the IFT by pressing the
CAL key using an MPS 3000 Multi-
probe Gas Sequencer.
