6.1 Calibrating the SIRIUS Multigas Detector
Each SIRIUS Multigas Detector is equipped with an Autocalibration feature to make unit
calibration as easy as possible. The Autocalibration sequence resets instrument zeroes
and adjusts sensor calibration for known concentrations of calibration gases.

NOTE:
Refer to 5. Setting up the Multigas Detector, for instructions on changing the Autocali-
bration expected gas concentrations if calibration gas with concentrations other than
those listed above will be used to calibrate the instrument.
The expected gas concentrations must match the gas concentrations listed on
the calibration cylinder(s). Failure to follow this warning will cause an incorrect
calibration, which will result in erroneous readings.
