Connect high pressure tube to the cylinder plug.
Ensure the K4b2 unit is connected to the PC and remove the gas sample line from the reader.
On the software choose ‘gas’ from the calibration menu, ensure the sample line is not plugged in as it runs another room air calibration initially
Leave the switch on the gas line in the off position (no gas can be felt coming out of the end). Once the room air calibration has completed on this stage remove the sample line from the calibration box

Open the cylinder valve by turning the black lever (the dials are already set to the required values (3‐5 Bar) so do not change these).
Leave unplugged after another room air measure is done
