4.2 IR400 Stand-alone Operation and Configuration
The IR400 does not have built-in operation and configuration menus without an IR4000.
However, zeroing and calibration can be accomplished using the Zero (magnetic) Switch / LED
on the junction box that is directly attached to the IR400. You should ‘zero’ the Model IR400
detectors occasionally to eliminate any background gas fluctuations. Calibration is necessary if
gas check readings show the unit is reading inaccurately.
In addition, many operational functions are available using the Modbus/HART interface from a
control room device, as described in separate General Monitors’ manuals (available from our
website).
4.2.1 To Zero and Calibrate a Stand-alone IR400 Using a Magnetic Switch
This procedure describes how to use the IR400 junction box magnetic switch to zero and
calibrate the IR400. Once zeroing or calibration begins, the alarm and warning relays are
automatically kept disabled, and the analog signal is held at 1.5 mA. As you follow the
procedure steps, refer to the figure shown below for the LED indicator.
