To calculate the humidity gain factor for a filter (during a

humidity-interference calibration) it is necessary to have a

concentration offset factor for the filter, and vice versa. Note: If

a concentration offset factor is not stored in each of the filter

banks which are active during a zero-point calibration, then it

is necessary to perform a combined zero-point and humidity-

interference calibration task. The set-up of this combined task is

discussed in

section 12.11

.

If you only wish to set-up a humidity-interference calibration task the

procedure is as follows:

1. For each installed filter, enter the no. of the filter bank where

you wish the Monitor to store the humidity gain factors which

will be calculated during the humidity-interference calibration

task.

2. Press MEASURE S3 S3 S1 then the following text will be

displayed:

PERFORM ZERO-POINT CALIBRATION ?

NO YES

3. Follow the set-up of a humidity-interference calibration task by

following the black arrows in the schematic diagram shown in

Fig.12.13

.

The following text will appear on the display:

HUM. INTERFERENCE. CONNECT CLEAN, WET AIR

AND PRESS ENTER WHEN READY

12.7.2 Performing a Humidity-interference Calibration

The general equipment necessary to perform a calibration task is

described in

section 12.4

and illustrated in

Fig.12.5

.

The gas supply required during a humidity-interference calibration is

a supply of clean air containing a constant concentration of water

vapour.

1. Follow the procedure explained in

section 12.4

from steps 1 to 3

inclusive and the continue as follows:

2.

a. Connect the outer end of the extra empty flask’s outlet tube

“B” to the Teflon tubing which is connected to attachment

point 3 of the “Y”-piece (see

Fig.12.7

).
