F. PRESSURE CALIBRATION
The pressure calibration test mode is entered into for the purpose of adjusting the sen-
sitivity of the transducer circuit for optimal accuracy and for checking the linearity at
three separate points.
1. When the PRESSURE CALIBRATION
TEST option is selected, the menu for the
pressure calibration options will be dis-
played on the LCD panel as follows:

During this time the pressure will be displayed in the MEAN window and the message
"PRESS HOLD TO VENT GUFF" will display on the LCD panel.
After the desired tar-
get pressure is reached, the pump will turn off and the pressure will be held until the
user presses the HOLD key. Then the pressure will be released and another calibra-
tion may be performed after the pressure drops to OmmHg.
5. Compare the MEAN display on the ACCUTORR with the reading on the
manometer.
The calibration tolerance as follows:
+/- 3mmHg for LOW RANGE
+/- 3mmHg for MID RANGE
+/- 4mmHg for HI RANGE
NOTE:
ff the unit is out of
calibration, see Calibration
