Manual Mode Zeroing

ENTER the

ZERO

function. The screen that appears allows you to

select between automatic or manual zero calibration. Use DOWN/UP to
toggle between

AUTO

and

MAN

zero settling. Stop when

MAN

appears on

the display.

Zero: Settling: Man

To Begin

ENTER to begin the zero calibration. After a few seconds the first of

five zeroing screens appears. The number in the upper left hand corner is the
first-stage zero offset. The microprocessor samples the output at a predeter-
mined rate. It calculates the differences between successive samplings and
displays the rate of change as

Slope=

a value in parts per million per second

(ppm/s).

#### % Zero

Slope=#### ppm/s

NOTE:It takes several seconds for the true Slope value to display.

Wait about 10 seconds. Then, wait until Slope is sufficiently
close to zero before using

ENTER

to finish zeroing.

Generally, you have a good zero when

Slope

is less than 0.05 ppm/s

for about 30 seconds. When

Slope

is close enough to zero, ENTER it. In a

few seconds, the screen will update.

Once zero settling completes, the information is stored in the

microprocessor, and the instrument automatically returns to the ANALYZE
screen.
