flanges.

10. Reset the optical path length, environment temperature and

environment pressure parameters for the environment under test.

CAUTION:

RESETTING THE OPTICAL PATH LENGTH IS
NECESSARY. WITHOUT CORRECT PARAMETERS,
THE SYSTEM CANNOT ANALYZE THE GAS
CONCENTRATION CORRECTLY.

CAUTION:

DO NOT CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM WHEN THERE IS
AN ERROR OR WARNING ALARM MESSAGE ON
LCD.

CAUTION:

DO NOT CALIBRATE WHEN THERE IS GAS FLOW IN
THE ENVIRONMENT UNDER TEST AND THE VALVE

central processing unit through RS232 interface. When you choose the
former method, please follow the instructions in section 4.3.4. If you
choose the PC option, please follow the PC service program instructions
in Appendix A. If you use the calibration tube available from TAI,
please refer to the calibration parameter table that comes with the
