Portable calibration and bump test docking station for gas detector
ARGC
General Monitors
To verify the proper operation of a catalytic
combustible gas sensor, it is necessary to periodically
apply a gas of known concentration to the sensor. This
is usually done manually at the site with gas supplied
from a small lecture bottle. As the sensor reacts to the
calibration gas, adjustments are made to the
monitoring system to bring its calibration into
agreement with the known concentration of gas.
At times, sensors are mounted in inaccessible
locations, requiring expensive catwalks or scaffolding
to reach them. The Automatic Remote Gas Calibrator
(ARGC) allows the calibration gas to be applied to the
catalytic bead sensor from easily accessible locations.
The ARGC is used for blocking ambient air and redirecting
methane to the catalytic sensor for calibration
or testing sensor accuracy. The ARGC tests or calibrates
the General Monitors catalytic sensor with 50% LEL
methane. The unit is capable of calibrating gas at wind
velocities up to 50 mph.
