Testing the Instrument 4-17
6WHS Select the value for the calibration gas. (The default value is 5.0%.)
6WHS Open the valve on the calibration gas to allow CO
2
gas to flow into the Extension.
Allow the value to stabilize before the start of the calibration. Leave the valve open
until the instrument gives a prompt that gas can be removed.
6WHS The Extension calibrates and prompts when calibration is successful.

6WHS Reopen the 5% gas valve and allow the value to stabilize.
6WHS Check that the value displayed on the Monitor is correct within the tolerance (see
Step 2 above).
6WHS Disconnect the 5% calibration gas and connect the 10% calibration gas.
6WHS Open the valve on the flow regulator to allow 10% CO
2
gas to flow into the Exten-
sion. Allow the value to stabilize.
6WHS Check that the value displayed on the Monitor is correct within the tolerance (see
Step 6 above).
If one or both values are not within tolerances, the M3015A must be exchanged.

The time counters on the sidestream CO
2
Extension must be checked before calibrating the
Instrument. As well, when parts are replaced, the appropriate counters must be reset to zero.
To check the counters, do the following:
6WHS Select the counter you want to check (either IR SourceTime or Pump OpTime.
6WHS Press and hold lightly on the TouchStrip. The counter time will display.
6WHS Release to view or press harder to reset.
As well, always observe the following guidelines:
• When calibrating the CO
2
Extension, if no parts have been replaced, check the values dis-
played on the Reset PumpOpTime and Reset IRSourceTime selections to make sure that
they are within suggested guidelines for use (15, 000 hours of continuous use). If the coun-
ter time is greater than 15, 000 hours, replace the appropriate part. See "Repairing the
Instrument".
• When calibrating the CO
2
Extension, if parts have been replaced, reset the appropriate val-
ues displayed on the Reset PumpOpTime and Reset IRSourceTime selections to zero. See
"Repairing the Instrument".
NOTE: When the PumpOpTime has been reset an INOP will be generated: “CO
2
OCCLUSION”. To clear this INOP you must perform a flow check and store the flow in
Service Mode (select “Store Flow”).
