1 Calibration Instruction for Salwico ST400

H2S

1.1 Preliminaries
This instructions applies to the following products:

Figure 1. Salwico ST400 H2S, 0-30 ppm 4-20 mA. Part no. 4462

The H2S sensor is Electrochemical and measures H2S content by means of

chemical reaction.

DANGER!
H2S – Hydrogen Sulphide – is toxic and dangerous also in rather low
concentrations.

H2S is a sticky gas and smells very distinctly from rotten eggs.

Consilium Replacement article number for ST400 H2S detectors is no. 004462-S.

A new sensor is supplied without the metal housing and must be fitted in the
housing. This applies to both H2S and O2 sensors of ST400 type.

Calibration equipment
Normal measuring range is 0-30 ppm, our standard calibration bottle no.
5201005-00A contains 20 ppm of gas in air.

For SW2020 a mix-bottle is often used, with H2S 20 ppm as well as N2 99% and
C3H8 50% LEL, article no. 5201010-01A.

Test points (A) for the multi-meter as well as “SPAN” (B) and “ZERO” (C)
potentiometers are indicated below.

CAUTION!
Do not adjust the other potentiometers.

1.2 Prerequisites
1 Use the arrow keys on the control panel to
manoeuvre through the different menus.
Press the right arrow key to access the
menu tree.

2 Scroll to 4 Gas Detectors and press

Continue.

3 Scroll to the detector that should be

calibrated and press Options.

4 Scroll to 3 Disable and choose Continue.

5 You have to confirm the disablement before

you can proceed.
Press Disable to continue.

6 You will get a confirmation message that

the detector has been disabled.
Press Close to continue.

7 NOTE!
For the following steps in the zero
calibration instruction proceed to
the Salwico ST400 detector.

1.3 Calibrating the sensor (Zero calibration)

1 Connect the Multi-meter (set to mA) as
shown in the picture.

2 Adjust with the “ZERO” potentiometer to

4,0 mA signal output.

1.4 Calibrating the sensor (Span calibration)

Verification of detector type 0-25 ppm or 0-30 ppm
NOTE!
The ST400 for H2S is available in two types.

Type 1: 0-25 PPM. mA-signal at 20 ppm = 16.8 mA.

Type 2: 0-30 PPM. mA-signal at 20 ppm = 14.6 mA.

To verify which type is in use, make a span calibration as below and verify the
display reading in the central cabinet.

• If the readout at 14.6 mA is less than 20 PPM a calibration with 16.8 mA

set-point must be done.

sensor head. Due to the sticky
nature of the H2S as
short hoses as possible
are to be used.
2 Open the regulator valve.
3 When the reading is stabilized, adjust the If this reading cannot be

NOTE!
Response can be estimated to

1.5 Reconnecting disabled detectors

All disablements in the Salwico Gas Detection System are presented in the
disablements list. Any enablement is made from this list.

1 Scroll to Menu » Disablements.

2 Choose the detector you just disabled and press Options.
3 Select Reconnect and press Continue.
