5.4. 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.

STEP ONE:

Connect the sources of zero air and span gas as shown in Figure 7.2 or 7.3.

STEP TWO:

Perform the zero/span calibration check procedure:

SAMPLE

NOX STB= XXX.X PPM

NOX=XXX.X

< TST TST > CAL SETUP

The ZERO and/or SPAN

keys will appear at various

points of this process.

It is not necessary to press

them.

SAMPLE A1:NXCNC1=100PPM NOX=XXX.X

< TST

TST >

CAL SETUP

Set the Display to show

the NOX STB test

function.

This function calculates

the stability of the NO/NO

x

measurement

Toggle TST> button until ...

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.
