BW GasAlert Micro5 Gas Calibration Guide by Ideal Calibrations

For more information regarding the BW Technologies GasAlert Micro5 Gas Detector (including helpful part numbers) please see http://www.idealcalibrations.com/bios...

This is a video in the How To Calibrate Your Gas Monitor series by Ideal Calibrations. All you need is trusted calibration gas (of course we recommend Ideal Gases brand), a cal cup, a regulator, and tubing. We recommend Viton tubing as the best, but ultimately most expensive material. Tygon, polyurethane, and Teflon lined are all mostly acceptable, but Viton holds the best ratings we've found for reactivity.

BW GasAlert Micro5 Calibration Guide:
Want to calibrate the BW GasAlert Micro5? Here's how:
1. Turn the BW GasAlert Micro5 on in normal reading mode. Do this by pressing and holding the power button.
2. Once the BW GasAlert Micro5 is in normal reading mode, you need to send it into calibration mode. Do this by pressing and holding the bottom left and right buttons at the same time. A count down will begin.
3. This will send the monitor into zeroing mode. Now is a good time to set the monitor down, and grab your calibration gas, regulator, and calibration adapter.
4. Open the valve on your regulator. This is a very important step so you do not ruin your calibration gas cylinder. Now screw it in to your calibration gas cylinder. Close the regulator once you hear gas spewing out of it. This is the signal to know your regulator is good to close. Continue screwing in the regulator until it stops. Do not overturn it.
5. After the BW GasAlert Micro5 is zeroed, attach the tubing to the hose barb on your regulator. Make sure the tubing is also connected to your calibration adapter.
6. Make sure your calibration gas values on the screen match what is on your calibration gas cylinder!
7. Once the BW GasAlert Micro5 has finished calibration, the BW GasAlert Micro5 will beep, disconnect your tubing and turn off the gas.
8. Congratulations! You have officially calibrated your BW GasAlert Micro5 gas monitor. Make sure to record these readings in your calibration log!
