sponds, within tolerance, to the value of the span gas concentration. Then the
instrument automatically returns to the analyze mode.

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
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
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 choose 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 ten 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.
