Model 9110EH Instruction Manual Calibration Procedures

If the ZERO or SPAN keys are not displayed during zero or span calibration, the measured

concentration value is too different from the expected value and the analyzer does not allow
to zero or span the instrument. Consult Section 11.3 for calibration problems.

7.3. Calibration Checks

Informal calibration checks, which only evaluate but do not alter the analyzer’s response
curve, are recommended as a regular maintenance item and in order to monitor the
analyzer’s performance. To carry out a calibration check rather than a full calibration, follow

these steps.

Connect the sources of zero air and span gas as shown in Figure 7-2, then perform the

zero/span calibration check procedure:

SAMPLE NOX STB=XXX.X PPB NO2=X.XX

< TST TST > CAL

SETUP

ACTION:

Record the NO

X

,

NO

2

& NO

readings.

ACTION:

Supply span gas to the instrument

SAMPLE NOX STB=XXX.X PPB NO =X.XX

< TST TST > CAL

SETUP

ACTION:

Record the NO

X

,

NO

2

& NO

readings.

Wait until NOX

STB is below

0.5 ppb. This

may take

several minutes.

The value of NOX

STB may jump

significantly.

Wait until it falls

below 0.5 ppb. This

may take several

minutes.

SAMPLE NOX STB=XXX.X PPB NO = X.X

< TST TST > CAL

SETUP

The SPAN key appears during the transition from zero to

span. You may see both keys.

SAMPLE RANGE = 500.0 PPB NOX=X.XX

< TST TST > CAL

SETUP

Scroll the display to the
NOX STB test function.

ACTION:

Supply the instrument with zero gas.

7.4. Calibration with Zero/Span Valves

To perform a manual calibration or calibration check of the analyzer with a zero/span valve
option installed and functioning, use the following method. The basic differences between
calibrating an M9110EH with the zero/span valve option instead of the basic calibration

method (Section 7.2) are that zero air and span gas are now supplied through dedicated
gas inlets rather than through the sample inlet and that the zero and span operations are

initiated directly and independently with dedicated keys CALZ and CALS.
