MGS Installation and Operation Manual
28 1000-0085 Rev 0
โข Gas cylinder with the appropriate gas and concentration
โข A voltmeter (crocodile clips recommended)
โข Screwdriver (depending on housing).
The MGS has three sensor PCB versions: semiconductor (SC),
electrochemical (EC), and infrared (IR).
6.4. Calculating Calibration Voltage
Sensor outputs are linear. As long as you have a gas cylinder of known
concentration you can calibrate to any desired range.
Example: For a sensor range of 0-1000 ppm and a cylinder of the target gas
at 800 ppm:
๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ = ๐๐๐ซ๐ ๐๐ญ ๐๐๐ฌ ๐๐๐ฅ๐ฎ๐ ร
๐ ๐
๐๐๐ง๐ฌ๐จ๐ซ ๐๐๐ง๐ ๐
๐๐จ๐ฅ๐ญ๐๐ ๐ = ๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ ร
๐ ๐
๐๐๐๐ ๐ฉ๐ฉ๐ฆ
= ๐ ๐
So the output voltage signal should be adjusted to 4V.
6.5. Calibrating Semiconductor (SC) Sensors
Step Calibrating Semiconductor (SC) Sensors
1 Locate Pot P2 which is used to adjust the zero point.
2 Monitor the output between 0V (negative) and VS (positive).
3 Adjust Pot P2 to 0 V or slightly positive (0.01 V is acceptable).
4
Locate Pot P3 which is used to calibrate the range (span) of the
sensor.
5 Monitor the output between 0V (negative) and VS (positive).
6
Expose the sensor to calibration gas and allow to stabilise
(approximately 6 minutes).
7 Adjust pot P3 to the voltage calculated in section 6.4 (page 28).
NOTE: For semiconductor sensors, you MUST use calibration
gas in a balance of air (not N
2
).
