Figure 4-1 shows the hierarchy of functions available to the operator via the

function buttons. The six function buttons on the analyzer are:

Analyze.

This is the normal operating mode. The analyzer

monitors the thermal conductivity of the sample, displays the
percent or parts-per-million of target gas or contamination, and
warns of any alarm conditions.

System.

The system function consists of nine subfunctions.

Four of these are for ordinary setup and operation:

Setup an Auto-Cal

Assign Passwords

Log out to secure system

Initiate a Self-Test

Three of the subfunctions do auxiliary tasks:

Checking model and software version

Adjust LCD screen contrast

Display more subfunctions

Two of these are for programming/reprogramming the analyzer:

Define gas applications and ranges (Refer to programming
section, or contact factory.)

Use the Curve Algorithm to linearize output. (Refer to
programming section, or contact factory.)

Zero

. Used to set up a zero calibration.

Span.

Used to set up a span calibration.

Alarms.

Used to set the alarm setpoints and determine whether

each alarm will be active or defeated, HI or LO acting, latching,
and/or failsafe.

Range.

Used to set up three analysis ranges that can be

switched automatically with autoranging or used as individual
fixed ranges.

Any function can be selected at any time by pressing the appropriate button

(unless password restrictions apply). The order as presented in this manual is
appropriate for an initial setup.
