4.1.3  Gas Check Test Guidelines 

Running a gas check test enables you to verify whether the detector is functioning correctly, by 
applying a known gas concentration and monitoring the % LEL reading while keeping the alarm 
and warning relays disabled. To apply gas or a gas simulation during the test, you can use the

 

General Monitors gas check kit with portable purge calibrator equipment. 

 

NOTE:

 You cannot run a gas check test from an FMD or IR4000S

 

attached to an 

IR400. The FMD and IR4000S have a relay inhibit mode that will turn off the Warn 
and Alarm relay but the current loop will still transmit the gas concentration level. This 
could cause alarms on control room equipment. 

4.1.3.1  Portable Purge Calibrator Equipment 

 

The portable purge calibrator is a compact, accurate and safe system containing a non-
explosive gas concentration. The lecture bottle is filled with a standard 50% LEL mixture of 
gas/air. Using a known gas/air mixture reduces the likelihood of error in field calibration. 

The hose and cup adapter that are included allow for quick calibrations and gas checks. 
Pre-mixed calibration gases at approximately 50% LEL are available in lecture bottles. 

 Butane

 Ethane

C2H4

 

 Methane

CH4

  

 Hexane

C6H14

 

 Pentane

C5H12

 

 Propane

C3H8

  

 

Spare bottles containing these gases may be ordered. Methane lecture bottles may be returned 
to General Monitors for refilling with the standard 2.5% by volume methane (50% LEL per ISO 
10156 and NFPA 325). 

4.1.4 Calibration Guidelines 

Calibrating the detector corrects any errors that may be affecting the % LEL measurement that 
is taking place. You should use the General Monitors gas check kit for calibration. Section 
4.1.3.1 describes the gas check kit equipment in more detail. You may need to calibrate the 
IR400 detector under several circumstances.  

  If the gas check test indicates that the detector needs adjustment. 

  If you are reconfiguring the IR400 to detect a different type of gas. 

  If you are moving the detector to a higher altitude location (every 1000 feet difference in 

altitude requires recalibration).
