Caution: the inner end of the empty-flask’s outlet tube “B” must

NEVER be covered by water.

b. Gently open the pressure-valve on the zero-gas cylinder.


c. Press

¿

.

d. Use the pressure-valve on the zero-gas cylinder to regulate

the flow of gas so that when the Monitor’s pump is running

there is a positive flow of gas out of the flow meter. This will

ensure that the wet, zero gas is not contaminated by

atmospheric air.

The following text appears on the screen:

PLEASE WAIT

The Monitor draws in the clean, wet air and measures the signal in

the cell with the water-vapour filter as well as with all the other

installed filters. Once the first measurement result is available the

screen text illustrated above is replaced by a screen displaying

signal measured using the water-vapour filter – for example the

following:

W : µ : 340 µV σ :--- V 1 39.3°C

PRESS ENTER WHEN RESULTS ARE STABLE

As soon as measurement results are available they do not only

appear on the display but are automatically printed out on the

printer, if the monitor is set up to print a data-log. Remember to

turn off the data-log when the calibration is complete.

Each time a sample of gas is drawn into the analysis cell the

signal is measured using all the installed optical filters and the

water-vapour filter (“W”) but, due to lack of space on the display,

the Monitor first only displays the signal measured using the

water-vapour filter. The data-log print-out, however, shows the

signal measured using all installed filters as well as the water-

vapour filter.

A maximum of 6 measurements are stored in the Monitor during

any calibration. The number (n) indicates how many

measurements are stored. When 7 measurements have been

performed the number (n) will show the number 6 because the

very first measurement is overwritten by the 7

th

measurement so

that only 6 measurements are still stored. When 8 measurements

have been completed the number (n) will also show 6 because the
