Clean the crystal with a delicate task wipe cleaning from one end of the crystal to the other Background Measurement

Press and hold the ZERO button until the display reads bAL Recall ZERO CAL RUN bAL Background Measurement

Recall ZERO CAL RUN A multiplier value to 3 decimal places will be displayed when zero is established The actual value is only of interest when reporting problems to the factory Background Measurement

Recall ZERO CAL RUN 0.0 Background Measurement Press RUN The display should read If not, repeat the zero process

Run each standard at least 3 times Average results for each standard Enter results in a calibration table in column “A” and the corresponding calibration value in column “C” (see next slide) Calibration with Prepared Standards

First insure sample plate is clean Sample Analysis

Apply approximately 2ml of the fuel sample ensuring that the entire crystal is wet Sample Analysis

Close cover to keep volatiles from evaporating Sample Analysis

Recall ZERO CAL RUN 0.0 Press RUN Sample Analysis

Recall ZERO CAL RUN 85.7 Sample Analysis After 15 seconds the result is displayed

Clean the crystal with a delicate task wipe cleaning from one end of the crystal to the other The InfraCal is ready for the next sample Sample Analysis
