Slow or no response/difﬁcult or unable to calibrate

Symptoms

months. Some applications may require a more frequent calibration schedule.

Probable causes

• The calibration cylinder is low, out-dated, or defective.

• The sensor dust cover is dirty or clogged.

• The sensor is defective or its sensitivity reduced due to age.

Recommended action

1. Verify that the calibration cylinder for the affected sensor contains an adequate supply

of a fresh test sample.

2. Inspect the sensor dust cover for the affected sensor to make sure it is not dirty or

clogged. If necessary, replace the cover as described on page 12.
