Introduction Unpacking Every Dynacalibrator® is completely calibrated, tested, inspected, and carefully packed prior to shipment from the VICI Metronics Inc. plant. Upon receipt of your unit, inspect the packages for visible evidence of damage to the shipment or its containers. Damaged shipments must remain with the original packaging for freight company inspection Check the packing list to make sure that the number of cartons received tallies with the packing list.

Getting Started Battery Information The unit arrives with a fully charged battery. A red charging indicator indicates that the battery needs to be charged. Charging the Battery Plug the power cable into the main power connector on the front panel of the calibrator and into a 110 VAC power source (220 VAC with the Model 120-C), or into the power inverter plugged into a 12 VDC source. A green charging indicator confirms charging activity.
PAGE 6
Getting Started Initial Equilibration Refer to Figure 2 as required. 1. With the battery fully charged or with the power cable connected to 110 VAC or 12 VDC source, turn on the main power at the main power switch. The temperature controller display will light up. 2. Turn on the pump and heater. The indicators will light up, indicating proper operation. 3. Use the mode selector to select STANDBY, forcing all the calibration gas to the overflow scrubber. 4.
PAGE 7
Calculating the Concentration A calibrated Dynacalibrator flow rate table is included in the certification documents shipped with the instrument. Use this flow rate and your device’s permeation rate to calculate output concentration. Concentration of the permeant compound in the span outlet stream is inversely proportional to the carrier flow rate through the chamber. It is determined using the folowing equation: Where: �� K = 24.
PAGE 8
Calculating the Concentration The following flow correction factor table can be used if the elevation is known. Find the elevation and temperature of your operational environment on this table and multiply this factor to the published calibrated flow. The calibrated flow is included in the certification documents shipped with the instrument. Temperature (°C) Elevation 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 -1000' 1.064 1.054 1.045 1.036 1.027 1.018 1.010 1.002 0.994 sea level 1.045 1.035 1.
PAGE 9
Standby and Shutdown Procedures Standby 1. When the Dynacalibrator is not in use, switch the mode control selector to the STANDBY position. This will divert all flow through the overflow vent and scrubber to atmosphere. The scrubber will filter the permeant gas so that no concentration of the permeant will escape out into environment. 2. Turn the flow control knob counterclockwise to set the pump at a minimum flow setting 3.
PAGE 10
A Note on Wafer Devices Wafer devices have only a small permeable window, or wafer, so permeation rates are typically an order of magnitude lower than rates for tubular devices. The Model 120 is supplied with a 1/4" ID x 3.5 cm length of PTFE tubing to be used as a spacer with VICI Metronics wafer devices.

Warranty This Limited Warranty gives the Buyer specific legal rights, and a Buyer may also have other rights that vary from state to state. For a period of 90 calendar days from the date of shipment, VICI Metronics Inc. (hereinafter Seller) warrants the goods to be free from defect in material and workmanship to the original purchaser.
