Zero Calibration
The first function allows you to perform an auto zero calibration on the oxygen sensor. By pressing the Y button, the device will prompt you when calibration is due. To ensure the success of this test, it's important to prepare the unit by placing it in standard calibration gas or clean air for 3 to 5 minutes before the test begins.

You can stop the calibration process by pressing the on/off button or return to the detection interface by long-pressing the Y button.
Span Calibration
Following zero calibration, the span calibration is required to be carried out by qualified professionals. This calibration ensures the accuracy of the instrument when detecting potential gas leaks. Regular calibration is essential for reliable operation.
