Analyzers and Calibrations

Connecting to and Managing an Analyzer

Note: Only one analyzer can be connected per mobile device.

1. Tap the Analyzer card on the dashboard.
    
2. Either let Chateau Mobile automatically search for analyzers, or click Search to update the list of available analyzers. Or tap Select Non-Bluetooth Analyzer if the analyzer you are looking for is not Bluetooth-compatible.
    
3. Tap the analyzer you wish to connect to when it appears.
    
4. Confirm the Probe Type, and ensure hydrogen and battery levels are sufficient.
    
5. Tap Ignite if the analyzer has not been ignited (for compatible analyzers only).

To disconnect from the connected analyzer, tap the analyzer card in the dashboard, and then tap the Disconnect button next to the analyzer ID.

Entering Calibrations

1. Tap the hamburger icon (3 horizontal lines) to open the main menu.
    
2. Tap Calibrations. Read and acknowledge the warning.
    
3. You will see a list of current calibrations if there are any.
    
4. Use Calibrate for standard calibrations. Only use Calibrate Zero and Calibrate Spans to correct out-of-range drifts.
   • Calibrate calibrates to zero and spans in one sequence.
   • Calibrate Zero calibrates to zero gas only.
   • Calibrate Spans calibrates to set the upper calibration points.
      
5. After tapping Calibrate, read and acknowledge the warning.
    
6. Enter the PPM you wish to calibrate to and tap Generate.
    
7. Wait for the count down to complete and acknowledge the completion.
    
8. Enter a different PPM and repeat to calibrate to different concentrations.
    
9. Tap Done after you have entered calibrations for all desired concentrations.

Entering Confirmations

1. Ensure you are connected to an analyzer and checked out. Go to the main menu at the top-left and select Calibrations.
    
2. Tap Input Confirmation PPM.
    
3. Enter the calibration time and probe type, then tap Next.
    
4. Select from the list of currently available cylinders in the database or tap Add Cylinder to add a cylinder to the list.
    
5. Tap Next once you have confirmed the cylinder selection. It will take you to the Input Confirmation PPM page.
    
6. The analyzer’s current reading will be reflected in the Device PPM field. Tap Record to use this for the confirmation PPM, or you can type in the Manual PPM field, tap Record, and it will disregard the device PPM and instead show the PPM you entered.
    
7. Repeat this process for each cylinder.
    
8. Once you have finished entering the PPM, tap Save Confirmation and confirm the records.
    
9. Now you can begin your inspections for the day. After checking in, the confirmation data will be available in Chateau.

Entering Drifts

1. Ensure you are connected to an analyzer and checked out. Go to the main menu at the top-left and select Calibrations.
    
2. Tap Input Drift Record.
    
3. Enter the time, probe type, drift type (noon or end-of-day), drift method (standard or VVa), select drift to confirmation or cylinder PPM, and tap Next.
    
4. Now you are in the Input Drift Record page. The cylinders used for confirmation are automatically selected from the record of the daily calibration confirmation you recorded earlier.
    
5. The analyzer’s current reading will be reflected in the Device PPM field. Tap Record to use this for the drift PPM, or you can type in the Manual PPM field, tap Record, and it will disregard the device PPM and instead show the PPM you entered.
    
6. When you have finished entering the PPM for each cylinder, tap Save Drift and confirm the records.
    
7. The drift records will be sent to Chateau after you have checked back in.
