4.5.3 The Range Function

The Model 2120XL has three user programmable ranges extending

from 0-1 ppm to 0-100 ppm. The Range function is used to set the three
analysis ranges and to set whether the instrument functions on a fixed
range (1, 2 or 3) or uses auto ranging.

To set the range properties for your instrument, press the RANGE

button. The following screen appears:

R1: 1.00

pp

m R2: 10.00

pp

m

R3: 100.0

pp

m Rng: Auto

where either the 1.00, 10.00, 100.0, or Auto is blinking.

Use the ◄►arrow keys to position the blinking over the range

value to be changed . Then use the ▲/▼ arrow keys to modify the range
value. Continue with the ◄►arrow keys to position the blinking over
the next range value to be changed and modify with the ▲/▼ arrow
keys.

Move the blinking to the field at the far right of the second line and

set whether fixed analysis or auto-ranging is to be used. The field can be
toggled between these values:

1

(Fixed range analysis on range 1)

2

(Fixed range analysis on range 2)

3

(Fixed range analysis on range 3)

Auto Auto-ranging.

Press ENTER when the range properties have been correctly set.

Use ESCAPE to return to the Analyze mode without altering the range
settings.

Note: Range 1 must be set lower than range 2 and range two

less than range 3. Only the upper bound of the range may
be changed. The lower value will always remain at 0.

When auto-ranging is selected, the analyzer will automatically

switch to the appropriate range based on the concentration of the sample
gas under test.
