Zero/Span valves have 3 operational states:
1. Sample mode. Here both valves are un-energized and sample gas passes through the
sample/cal valve and into the analyzer for analysis.
2. Zero mode. The sample/cal valve is energized to the cal mode. The zero/span valve is un-
energized in the zero mode, thus allowing zero gas to be admitted through the rear panel 
bulkhead fitting into the analyzer. 
3. Span mode. The sample/cal valve is energized and in the cal mode. The zero/span valve is
energized in the span mode. With both valves on, span gas is admitted through a rear panel 
bulkhead fitting into the analyzer. 
Zero air and span gas inlets should supply their respective gases in excess of the 700 cc/min 
demand of the analyzer. Supply and vent lines should be of sufficient length and diameter to 
prevent back diffusion and pressure effects. See Figure 2-3 for fitting location and tubing 
recommendations. 
Adequate zero air can be supplied by connecting a charcoal scrubber and 5 micron particulate 
filter (TAI P/N 000369) to the zero air inlet tubing. The zero air scrubber used in conjunction 
with the Zero/Span Valve option provides an inexpensive source of zero air.
