3.1.12 What Happens if the Reference Zero
is Improperly Set
If the Reference Zero is set when the conditions are wrong, i.e. not pure gas,
two bad results occur.
1
A permanent concentration offset equal to the concentration at the time of
zero is introduced. This is not corrected until a proper Zero Set is performed.
2
The sensitivity is altered, leading to an error proportional to the
concentration.

Factory zero will be restored:
if one of the gas parameters (molecular weight or
γ
) is altered.
if the instrument is powered on with the "Always Use Factory Zero"
configuration switch active, SW#6 of CFGR2.
if selected, through the Set Up Tool or Monitor Software menu.
