CO2 Sensor Panel Calibration Record

The CO2 sensor panel check records the reading, the alarm, and whether the sample line is connected. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not adjust a CO2 injection setpoint, and do not open a cylinder valve as part of this check. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

The Procedure

The steps ChatterFix schedules for this PM. Every step is a checkable item on the work order — a technician can speak their way through it without touching a keyboard.

  1. Record the sensor reading
  2. If the site procedure names a check gas, record the as-found response. Do not invent a span
  3. Confirm the alarm and the sample line are connected
  4. Do not adjust a CO2 injection setpoint. Do not open a cylinder valve as part of this check
  5. A failed sensor is a finding. The injection setpoint stays

Why This PM Exists

The CO2 sensor panel check records the reading, the alarm, and whether the sample line is connected. The technician writes the as-found reading and compares it with the last one on the asset. Do not adjust a CO2 injection setpoint, and do not open a cylinder valve as part of this check. Anything past that line belongs to the site's own procedure, the OEM manual, or a permit. This is the inspection ChatterFix schedules. It is not itself permission to go further.

What Skipping It Looks Like

The sensor fails, the injection setpoint moves to compensate, and a cylinder valve gets opened to 'see if gas is there'. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not adjust a CO2 injection setpoint, and do not open a cylinder valve as part of this check.

Setting the interval

Monthly. A failed sensor is a finding. The injection setpoint stays. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.

Common Questions

How often should this PM run?
Monthly. Monthly. A failed sensor is a finding. The injection setpoint stays. An as-found reading outside the limit the site already published is a finding. It does not become a new setpoint on this work order.
How long does it take?
Budget about 1.0 hour for a technician working to the standard procedure. ChatterFix uses that estimate for capacity planning, then learns your plant's actual time from completed work orders.
What happens if we skip it?
The sensor fails, the injection setpoint moves to compensate, and a cylinder valve gets opened to 'see if gas is there'. The round still closes, the number never lands on the asset, and the next person inherits a guess. Do not adjust a CO2 injection setpoint, and do not open a cylinder valve as part of this check.
