Conditions of Use

Although this is a eld meter this is still an electronic device. When onsite

we recommend you treat this equipment the way you would treat your

mobile. BE AWARE; all PID meters are sensitive to moisture.

Before you start your PID, ensure:

1. The moisture lter is clean and dry.

2. You are in a fresh air environment.

Operation

1. Turn on the meter - it will run through its own start-up and test procedure. N.B. for most accurate results allow the meter to warm up for a further 5-10 minutes.

2. Your PID is calibrated to isobutylene and congured to display “AS IF” isobutylene.

3. If you block the nose cone with your nger, the meter should alarm to let you know it is not sucking in air anymore. This is a pump stall test to verify the meter is not drawing air from somewhere other than the

nosecone. If the meter does not stall, contact Van Walt Ltd.

Bump Test

1. Using the A and B soft keys, select the “i” option from the on-screen menu. Check that Isobutylene is your selected gas.

2. Attach isobutylene bottle provided to the meter using regulator provided.

3. Turn on gas and check the measurements.

4. The gas bottle contains 100ppm isobutylene. Van Walt Ltd ensures that the meter is displaying within 10% of the published value on the bottle on the day we send it out to you. If you deem the drift to be outside

acceptable limits please contact Van Walt for advice.

5. After bump testing please ensure the regulator is closed and removed from the bottle.

6. EXCESSIVE USE OF ISOBUTYLENE GAS MAY BE CHARGED FOR.

“noise”.

3. You may choose to zero the unit to your fresh air environment by

selecting the second zero icon. BE SURE YOU ARE IN A KNOWN FRESH

AIR ENVIRONMENT.

4. At any time you can return to the calibrated zero by selecting the rst zero icon.
