5.6. CALIBRATION CHECKS WITH ZERO/SPAN VALVES
Zero and span checks using the zero/span valve option are similar to that described in
Section 7.4, except that zero air and span gas are supplied to the analyzer through the
zero gas and span gas inlets from two different sources.
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.
To perform a manual calibration check with zero/span valve:
STEP ONE:
Connect the sources of Zero Air and Span Gas as shown in section 7-4.
STEP TWO:
Perform the zero/span check.
The ZERO and/or SPAN
keys will appear at various
points of this process.
It is not necessary to press
them.

Allow zero gas to enter the sample port
at the rear of the analyzer.
Wait until NOX STB
falls below 0.5 ppm.
This may take several
minutes.
Allow span gas to enter the sample port
at the rear of the analyzer.
Wait until NOX STB
falls below 0.5 ppm.
This may take several
minutes.
