If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your

password to gain access to either of these functions. Follow the
instructions in sections 4.3.3 to enter your password. Once you have
gained clearance to proceed, you can enter the Zero or Span function.

4.4.1 Zero Cal

The Zero button on the front panel is used to enter the zero

calibration function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the
automatic or manual mode. In the automatic mode, an internal
algorithm compares consecutive readings from the sensor to determine
when the output is within the acceptable range for zero. In the manual
mode, the operator determines when the reading is within the acceptable
range for zero. Make sure the zero gas is connected to the instrument. If
you get a CELL FAILURE message skip to Section 4.4.1.3.

To Begin

Press Enter to begin zeroing.

#### PPM Zero
Slope=#### ppm/s

The beginning zero level is shown in the upper left corner of the

display. As the zero reading settles, the screen displays and updates
information on Slope (unless the Slope starts within the acceptable zero
range and does not need to settle further).

Then, and whenever Slope is less than 0.08 for at least 3 minutes,

instead of Slope you will see a countdown: 5 Left, 4 Left, and so fourth.
These are five steps in the zeroing process that the system must
complete, AFTER settling, before it can go back to Analyze.
