Manual Mode Spanning

Press

Span

to start the

Span

function. The screen that appears allows

you to select whether the span calibration is to be performed automatically or
manually.

Span: Settling:MAN

For Next

Use the

∆∇

keys to toggle between

AUTO and MAN span settling.

Stop when

MAN appears, blinking, on the display. Press

Enter

to move to

the next screen.

Span Val: 20.90

Span Mod #

Press

(

) to permit modification (Mod #) of span value.

Use the arrow keys to enter the oxygen concentration of the span gas

you are using (20.90 if you are using air). The

< > arrows chose the digit,

and the

∆∇

arrows choose the value of the digit.

Press

Enter

to enter the span value into the system and begin the span

calibration.

Once the span has begun, the microprocessor samples the output at a

predetermined rate. It calculates the difference between successive samplings
and displays this difference as

Slope on the screen. It takes several seconds

for the first

Slope value to display. Slope indicates rate of change of the

Span reading. It is a sensitive indicator of stability.

#### % Span

Slope=#### ppm/s

When the

Span value displayed on the screen is sufficiently stable,

press

Enter

. (Generally, when the

Span reading changes by 1 % or less of

the full scale of the range being calibrated for a period of five minutes it is
sufficiently stable.) Once

Enter

is pressed, the

Span reading changes to the

correct value. The instrument then automatically enters the

Analyze

func-

tion.

The

Alarms

Function

The Model 3000PA is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concentration

alarms and a system failure alarm. Each alarm has a relay with a set of form
“C" contacts rated for 3 amperes resistive load at 250 V ac. See Figure in
Chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the
back of this manual for relay terminal connections.
