Calibration The calibration section explains how to calibrate and set the elevation for the AOC pressure sensor and how to calibrate a flow station. NOTE: The pressure sensor is factory calibrated and normally does not need to be adjusted. However, inaccurate readings may be detected if pressure sensor is not installed correctly, or problems with the sensor exist. Before calibrating, check that the sensor is installed correctly (usually only a problem on initial set up). In addition, go into DIAGNOSTICS menu, SENSOR STAT item. If NORMAL is displayed, calibration can be adjusted. If an error code is displayed, eliminate error code and then verify pressure sensor needs adjustment. Adjusting the SureFlow pressure sensor calibration may be required to eliminate errors due to convection currents, HVAC configuration, or equipment used to make the measurement. TSI recommends always taking the comparison measurement in the exact same location (i.e., under the door, middle of door, edge of door, etc.). A thermal air velocity meter is needed to make the comparison measurement. Normally the velocity is checked at the crack under the doorway, or the door is opened 1” to allow alignment of the air velocity probe making the measurement. If the crack under the door is not large enough, use the 1” open door technique. All pressure transducer based flow stations and 1 to 5 VDC linear flow stations must be zeroed upon initial system set up. Linear 0 to 10 VDC flow stations do not require a zero flow to be established. Calibrating Pressure Sensor Enter calibration menu (see Software Programming if not familiar with keystroke procedure). Access code is turned on so enter access code. All menu items described below are found in CALIBRATION menu. Elevation The ELEVATION item eliminates pressure sensor error due to elevation of building. (See ELEVATION item in Menu and Menu items section for further information). Enter the ELEVATION menu item. Scroll through the elevation list and select the one closest to the building’s elevation. Press the SELECT key to save the data and exit back to the calibration menu.
