AKO-58110 Calibration kit
Product Information: Calibration Kit
The AKO-58110 calibration kit is designed to enable the testing,
verification of accuracy, reset to zero, and calibration of the
transmitter. It is a necessary tool for maintaining the accuracy
and reliability of the transmitter, and it is recommended to use it
at least once per year.
The calibration kit comes with a transparent tube, which
connects to the regulator of the gas pump. It also has a shut-off
valve to control the flow of gas from the cylinder. The AKO-58110
calibration kit is suitable for use with gas cylinders that are
compatible with the sensitivity of the transmitter being
calibrated.
Product Usage Instructions
Operation Test (Bump Test)
To perform an operation test or bump test using the AKO-58110
calibration kit, follow these steps:
- Check the Pre-Alarm configuration (AL2) before starting the
verification procedure. It should be enabled to check whether it
has been activated. Disable the Pre-Alarm delay (AL5) and Alarm
delay (AL8) to speed up the verification process. - Install the AKO-58110 calibration kit by attaching it to the
transmitter window as shown in the image. Press hard until it fits
together perfectly. - Connect the regulator of the gas pump to the free end of the
transparent tube. - Open the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder and wait.
- After a few moments, the transmitter concentration reading will
begin to rise until it reaches the Pre-Alarm and then Alarm
level. - Check that both the Pre-Alarm and the Alarm signal correctly,
and that the corresponding relays are activated. - Close the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder, disconnect the
cylinder, and remove the calibration kit from the transmitter. - The transmitter may take a few moments to go back to showing
the concentration values from before the verification procedure.
Once the verification procedure is complete, remember to readjust
the Pre-Alarm (AL2) and delay (AL5 and AL8) parameters to the
values prior to the beginning of the verification procedure.
Verification of Accuracy and Calibration
To verify the accuracy or calibrate the transmitter using the
AKO-58110 calibration kit, follow these steps:
- Install the AKO-58110 calibration kit by attaching it to the
transmitter window as shown in the image. Press hard until it fits
together perfectly. - Open the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder and wait.
- After a few moments, the transmitter concentration reading will
begin to rise. Wait for the reading to stabilize. - Compare the reading displayed with the calibrated value of the
gas cylinder. If the accuracy is sufficient, no further calibration
is necessary. If not, calibrate the transmitter using a calibrated
gas cylinder. - Once the verification or calibration procedure is complete,
remember to readjust the Pre-Alarm (AL2) and delay (AL5 and AL8)
parameters to the values prior to the beginning of the
procedure.
Note: Please check current local regulations for specific
requirements on verification and calibration frequency, and always
ensure compliance with these regulations.

Operation test (Bump Test)
To extract it, pull out from the lower end.
Materials required: AKO-58110 calibration kit + Gas cylinder* EN-378 and F-GAS international standards require verification of the correct operation of the transmitter at least once per year. Please check what current local regulations specify for such cases. Always ensure that you comply with current local regulations.
Y Before starting the verification procedure, check the Pre-Alarm configuration (Al2). This should be enabled in order to check it has been activated. It is advisable to disable the PreAlarm delay (AL5) and Alarm delay (AL8) to speed up the verification process.
Y Install the AKO-58110 calibration kit.
Y Open the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder and wait. Y After a few moments, the transmitter concentration reading will begin to rise until it reaches the Pre-Alarm and then Alarm level. Y Check that both the Pre-Alarm and the Alarm signal correctly and that the corresponding relays are activated. Y Close the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder, disconnect the cylinder and remove the calibration kit from the transmitter.
The transmitter may take a few moments to go back to showing the concentration values from before the verification procedure. Once the verification procedure is complete, remember to readjust the Pre-Alarm (AL2) and delay (AL5 and AL8) parameters to the values prior to the beginning of the verification procedure.

AKO recommends verifying the accuracy of the transmitter at least once per year. Please check what current local regulations specify for such cases. Always ensure that you comply with current local regulations.
Check whether current local regulations require a specific calibration frequency. Always ensure that you comply with current local regulations.
Y Install the AKO-58110 calibration kit. Y Open the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder and wait. Y After a few moments, the transmitter concentration reading will begin to rise. Wait for the reading to stabilise. Y Compare the reading displayed with the calibrated value of the gas cylinder. If the accuracy is sufficient for the
intended application, it is not necessary to carry out a calibration. If the opposite is true, calibrate the transmitter. Y Close the shut-off valve of the gas cylinder, disconnect the cylinder and remove the calibration kit from the
transmitter.
