Zeroing G6

How to zero G6 sensors to reset the baseline.

If configured for your device, you can manually zero your sensors to reset the baseline if G6 is not reading zero and you know you are in an atmosphere with no gas.

Important:

If G6’s baseline appears to have shifted, it is best to calibrate your sensor. If you cannot perform a calibration, zero your device.

Note:

The baseline reading for oxygen (O2) is 20.9 %vol.

Warning:

Only zero G6’s gas sensor in a known clean environment.
