Purpose
Zero calibration compensates for conditions that affect gas concentration
measurement. Examples of these conditions are as follows:
Changes in ambient temperature.
Short-term sample cell contamination caused by inadequate particle
filtering.
Long-term sample cell contamination caused by deposits on the sample
cell wall or windows.
Zero calibration execution time is typically 30 to 45 seconds, including a
purge time that depends on the pneumatics configuration and a fixed
calibration time of 20 seconds. The process will take longer under the
following conditions:
1.
