Important Notice
This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, and serves as a tool by
which valuable data can be gathered. The information provided by the instrument may
assist the user in eliminating potential hazards caused by his process; however, it is
essential that all personnel involved in the use of the instrument or its interface, with the
process being measured, be properly trained in the process itself, as well as all instrumentation related to it.
The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control process
conditions. While this instrument may be able to provide early warning of imminent
danger, it has no control over process conditions, and it can be misused. In particular, any
alarm or control systems installed must be tested and understood, both as to how they
operate and as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as locks, labels,
or redundancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of Teledyne at the
time the order is placed.
Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The
purchaser is responsible for the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning
methods and instrumentation per the appropriate standards, and for ensuring that hazard
warning devices and instrumentation are maintained and operated properly.
Analytical Instruments, the manufacturer of this instrument, cannot accept
responsibility for conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No statement expressed
or implied by this document or any information disseminated by the manufacturer or its
agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety control under the user’s process

Operational Theory
2.1Introduction
The Model 3010MB Oxygen Analyzer Control Unit uses an 80C31
microcontroller with 32 kB of RAM and 128 kB of ROM to control all
signal processing, input/output, and display functions for the Model 3010MB
analyzer. (The sample system and Paramagnetic sensor are covered in Part
II, Analysis Unit, in this manual.) System power is supplied from a universal
power supply module designed to be compatible with any international
power source.
2.2Electronics and Signal Processing
All of the Analyzer electronics are located on Printed Circuit Board
(PCB) assemblies inside the Control Unit chassis. The PCB locations are
illustrated in section 5, Maintenance.
Refer to Figure 2-1, Block Diagram of the 3010MB CU Electronics:
In the presence of oxygen, the sensor (in the Analysis Unit) generates a
current. A current to voltage amplifier (in the Control Unit) converts this
current to a voltage.
The second stage amplifier amplifies the voltage. The output from the
second stage amplifier is sent to an 18-bit analog to digital converter controlled by the microprocessor.
The digital concentration signal—along with input from the control
panel—is processed by the microprocessor, and appropriate control signals
are directed to the display, alarms and communications port as well as to the
gas control valves in the Analysis Unit.
The same digital information is also sent to a 12 bit digital to analog
converter that produces the 4-20 mA dc and the 0-1 V dc analog concentration signal outputs, and the analog range ID outputs.
The microprocessor monitors the power supply, and activates the
system failure alarm if a malfunction is detected.

Fuse Installation: The fuse holders accept 5 x 20 mm, 1.0 A, T
type (slow blow) fuses. Fuses are not installed at the factory. Be sure to
install the proper fuse as part of installation (See Fuse Replacement in
chapter 5, maintenance.)
Analog Outputs: There are eight DC output signal connectors on
the ANALOG OUTPUTS terminal block. There are two connectors per
output with the polarity noted. See Figure 3-5.
The outputs are:
0–1 V dc % of Range:Voltage rises linearly with increasing oxygen, from
0 V at 0% to 1 V at 100%. (Full scale = 100%

dium Range, 16 mA = High Range, 20 mA = Air

Figure 3-5: Analog Output Connections
Examples:
The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on the oxygen
concentration AND the currently activated analysis range. To relate the
signal output to the actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range
the instrument is currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the
autoranging mode.
The signaloutput for concentration is linear over currently selected
analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on a range that was
defined as )-10 % O2, then the output would be as shown in Table 3-1.
To provide an indication of the range, a second pair of analog output
terminals are used. They generate a steady preset voltage (or current when
using the current outputs) to represent a particular range. Table 3-2 gives the
range ID output for each analysis range.

Alarm Relays:
There are three alarm-circuit connectors on the alarm relays block
(under RELAY OUTPUTS) for making connections to internal alarm relay
contacts. Each provides a set of Form C contacts for each type of alarm.
Each has both normally open and normally closed contact connections. The
contact connections are indicated by diagrams on the rear panel. They are
capable of switching up to 3 ampers at 250 V AC into a resistive load
(Figure 3-6).

The connectors are:
Threshold Alarm 1:• Can be configured as high (actuates when
concentration is above threshold), or low
(actuates when concentration is below thresh old).
• Can be configured as fail-safe or non-fail-safe.
• Can be configured as latching or nonlatching.
• Can be configured out (defeated).
Threshold Alarm 2:• Can be configured as high (actuates when concen-
tration is above threshold), or low (actuates when
concentration is below threshold).
• Can be configured as fail-safe or non-fail-safe.
• Can be configured as latching or nonlatching.
• Can be configured out (defeated).
System Alarm:Actuates when DC power supplied to circuits is
unacceptable in one or more parameters. Permanently
configured as fail-safe and latching. Cannot be defeated. Actuates if self test fails.
To reset a System Alarm during installation, disconnect power to the instrument and then reconnect it

Digital Remote Cal Inputs
Remote Zero and Span Inputs: The REMOTE SPAN and RE-
MOTE ZERO inputs are on the DIGITAL INPUT terminal block. They
accept 0 V (OFF) or 24 V dc (ON) for remote control of calibration (See
Remote Calibration Protocol below.)
Zero:Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – terminals
puts the analyzer into the ZERO mode. Either side may be
grounded at the source of the signal. 0 to 1 volt across the
terminals allows ZERO mode to terminate when done. A
synchronous signal must open and close the external zero
valve appropriately. See Remote Probe Connector at end of
section 3.3. (With the -C option, the internal valves automatically operate synchronously).
Span:Floating input. 5 to 24 V input across the + and – terminals
puts the analyzer into the
grounded at the source of the signal. 0 to 1 volt across the
terminals allows SPAN mode to terminate when done. A
synchronous signal must open and close the external span
valve appropriately. See Remote Probe Connector at end of
section 3.3. (With the -C option, the internal valves automatically operate synchronously.)
SPAN
mode. Either side may be
Cal Contact: This relay contact is closed while analyzer is spanning
and/or zeroing. (See Remote Calibration Protocol below.)
Remote Calibration Protocol: To properly time the Digital Remote
Cal Inputs to the Model 3010MB Analyzer, the customer's controller must
monitor the Cal Relay Contact.
When the contact is OPEN, the analyzer is analyzing, the Remote Cal
Inputs are being polled, and a zero or span command can be sent.
When the contact is CLOSED, the analyzer is already calibrating. It
will ignore your request to calibrate, and it will not remember that request.
Once a zero or span command is sent, and acknowledged (contact
closes), release it. If the command is continued until after the zero or span is
complete, the calibration will repeat and the Cal Relay Contact (CRC) will
close again.
For example:
1) Test the CRC. When the CRC is open, Send a zero command
until the CRC closes (The CRC will quickly close.)
2) When the CRC closes, remove the zero command.
3) When CRC opens again, send a span command until the CRC
closes. (The CRC will quickly close.)
3-8: Part I
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Page 27
Percent Paramagnetic Oxygen AnalyzerPart I: Control Unit
4) When the CRC closes, remove the span command.
When CRC opens again, zero and span are done, and the sample is
being analyzed.
Note: The Remote Probe connector (paragraph 3.3) provides signals
to ensure that the zero and span gas valves will be controlled
synchronously. If you have the -C Internal valve option which includes additional zero and span gas inputs - the
3010MB automatically regulates the zero, span and sample gas
flow.
Range ID Relays: Four dedicated RANGE ID CONTACT relays .
The first three ranges are assigned to relays in ascending order—Low range
is assigned to RANGE 1 ID, Medium range is assigned to RANGE 2 ID,
and High range is assigned to RANGE 3 ID. RANGE 4 ID is reserved for
the Air Cal Range (25%).
Network I/O: A serial digital input/output for local network protocol.
At this printing, this port is not yet functional. It is to be used in future
versions of the instrument.
RS-232 Port: The digital signal output is a standard RS-232 serial
communications port used to connect the analyzer to a computer, terminal, or
other digital device. The pinouts are listed in Table 3-3.

The voltage from the solenoid outputs is nominally 0 V for the OFF
and 15 V dc for the ON conditions. The maximum combined current that
can be pulled from these output lines is 100 mA. (If two lines are ON at the
same time, each must be limited to 50 mA, etc.) If more current and/or a
different voltage is required, use relays, power amplifiers, or other matching
circuitry to provide the actual driving current.
Note that each individual line has a series FET with a nominal ON
resistance of 5 ohms (9 ohms worst case). This can limit the obtainable
voltage, depending on the load impedance applied. See Figure 3-9.

4.3.1 Tracking the Oxygen Readings during Calibration
and Alarm delay
The user has the option of setting the preferenc as to whether the analog
outputs track the display readings during calibration or not. To set the preference, press the System key once and the first System menu will appear in the
VFD display:

Alarm Dly: 10 min
4-4: Part I
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Page 35
Percent Paramagnetic Oxygen AnalyzerPart I: Control Unit
Or
Output Sttng: HOLD
Alarm Dly: 10 min
In the first line, TRACK or HOLD should be blinking. The operator
can toggle between TRACK and HOLD with the Up or Down keys. When
TRACK is selected, the analog outputs (0-1 VDC and 4-20 ma) and the
range ID contacts will track the instrument readings during calibration (either
zero or span). TRACK is the factory default.
When HOLD is selected, the analog outputs (0-1 VDC and 4-20 ma)
and the range ID contacts will freeze on their last state before entering one of
the calibration modes. When the instrument returns to the Analyze mode,
either by a successful or an aborted calibration, there will be a three-minute
delay before the analog outputs and the range ID contacts start tracking
again.
The concentration alarms freeze on their last state before entering
calibration regardless of selecting HOLD or TRACK. But, when HOLD is
selected the concentration alarms will remain frozen for the time displayed in
the second line of the TRAK/HLD menu after the analyzer returns to the
Analyze mode.
The factory default is three minutes, but the delay time is programmable. To adjust to delay time use the Left or Right arrow keys. When the
time displayed on the second line blinks, it can be adjusted by Pressing the
Up or Down keys to increase or decrease its value. The minimum delay is 1
minute, the maximum is 30.
This preference is stored in non-volatile memory so that it is recovered
if power is removed from the instrument.
4.3.2Setting up an Auto-Cal
When the proper calibration gases are connected (see chapter 3, installation), the Analyzer can cycle itself through a sequence of steps that auto-
matically zero and span the instrument.
Note: If you require highly accurate Auto-Cal timing, use external
Auto-Cal control where possible. The internal clock in the
Model 3010MB is accurate to 2-3 %. Accordingly, internally
scheduled calibrations can vary 2-3 % per day.
To setup an AutoCal cycle:

4.3.3 Password Protection
If a password is assigned, then setting the following system parameters
can be done only after the password is entered: span and zero settings,alarm setpoints, analysis range definitions, switching between autoranging
and manual override, setting up an auto-cal, and assigning a new password.
However, the instrument can still be used for analysis or for initiating a selftest without entering the password.
If you have decided not to employ password security, use the default
password TETAI. This password will be displayed automatically by the
microprocessor. The operator just presses the Enter key to be allowed total
access to the instrument’s features.
NOTE: If you use password security, it is advisable to keep a copy of
the password in a separate, safe location.

4.3.5System Self-Diagnostic Test
The Model 3010MB has a built-in self-diagnostic testing routine. Preprogrammed signals are sent through the power supply, output board and
sensor circuit. The return signal is analyzed, and at the end of the test the
status of each function is displayed on the screen, either as OK or as a
number between 1 and 3. (See System Self Diagnostic Test in chapter 5 for
number code.)
Note: Remote Probe connector must be connected to the Analysis
Unit, or sensor circuit will not be properly checked.
The self diagnostics are run automatically by the analyzer whenever the
instrument is turned on, but the test can also be run by the operator at will.

Zeroing is not required in order to achieve the published
accuracy specification of this unit.
Zeroing will eliminate offset error contributed by sensor,
electronics, and internal and external sampling system and
improve performance beyond published specification limits.
The analyzer is calibrated using zero and span gases.
Any suitable oxygen-free gas can be used for zero gas as long as it is
known that it will not react adversely with the sample system.
Although the instrument can be spanned using air, a span gas with a
known oxygen concentration in the range of 70–90% of full scale of the
range of interest is recommended. Since the oxygen concentration in air is
20.9 % (209,000 ppm), the cell can take longer to recover if the instrument is
used for trace or less than 1% full scale oxygen analysis immediately
following calibration in air.
Connect the calibration gases to the analyzer according to the instructions given in Section 3.4.1, Gas Connections, observing all the prescribed
precautions.

4.4.1 Zero Cal
The
Zero
button on the front panel is used to enter the zero calibration
function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the automatic or manual
mode. In the automatic mode, an internal algorithm compares consecutive
readings from the sensor to determine when the output is within the acceptable range for zero. In the manual mode, the operator determines when the
reading is within the acceptable range for zero. Make sure the zero gas is
connected to the instrument. If you get a CELL FAILURE message skip to
section 4.4.1.3.
4.4.1.1Auto Mode Zeroing
Press
Zero
to enter the zero function mode. The screen allows you to
select whether the zero calibration is to be performed automatically or manually. Use the ∆∇ arrow keys to toggle between AUTO and MAN zero

The beginning zero level is shown in the upper left corner of the display. As the zero reading settles, the screen displays and updates information
on Slope (unless the Slope starts within the acceptable zero range and does
not need to settle further).
Then, and whenever Slope is less than 0.08 for at least 3 minutes,
instead of Slope you will see a countdown: 5 Left, 4 Left, and so fourth.
These are five steps in the zeroing process that the system must complete,
AFTER settling, before it can go back to
Analyze
.
#### PPM Zero

4.4.1.3Cell Failure
Cell failure in the 3010MB is usually associated with inability to zero
the instrument down to a satisfactorily low ppm reading, e.g. cell does not
fail if it comes below 5PPM . When this occurs, the 3010MB system alarm
trips, and the LCD displays a failure message.

b. Check for leaks downstream from the cell, where oxygen may be
leaking into the system.

scribed in Part II Analysis Units, chapter 5 Maintenance.
4.4.2 Span Cal
The
Span

lyzer. Span calibration can be performed using the automatic mode, where
an internal algorithm compares consecutive readings from the sensor to
determine when the output matches the span gas concentration. Span calibration can also be performed in manual mode, where the operator determines when the span concentration reading is acceptable and manually exits
the function.

4.4.3 Span Failure
The analyzer checks the output of the cell at the end of the span. If the
raw output of the cell is less than 0.5 uA/ppm O2, the span will not be
accepted. The analyzer will return to the previous calibration values, trigger
the System Alarm, and display in the VFD:
Span Failed!!
This message will be shown for five seconds and the instrument shall
return to the Analyze mode. In the upper right hand corner of the VFD
display “FCAL” will be shown. This message flag will help the operator
troubleshoot in case calibration was initiated remotely. To reset the alarm
and the flag message, the unit must be turned off by cycling the standby key
. It will not reset if the next span cycle is correct.
A trace cell is unlikely to fail span. As explained before, when the
sensor reaches the end of its useful life, the zero offset begins to rise until the
analyzer finds the zero unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, feeding the wrong span
gas or electronics failure could set this feature off at the end of the span.
Consider this before replacing the cell.

The Model 3010MB is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concentration
alarms and a system failure alarm. Each alarm has a relay with a set of form
C contacts rated for 3 amperes resistive load at 250 V ac. See figure in
chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the
back of this manual for relay terminal connections.
Alarms
Function
The system failure alarm has a fixed configuration described in chapter
3 Installation.
The concentration alarms can be configured from the front panel as
either high or low alarms by the operator. The alarm modes can be set as
4-16: Par t I
Teledyne Analytical Instruments
Page 47
Percent Paramagnetic Oxygen AnalyzerPart I: Control Unit
latching or nonlatching, and either failsafe or nonfailsafe, or, they can be
defeated altogether. The setpoints for the alarms are also established using
this function.
Decide how your alarms should be configured. The choice will depend
upon your process. Consider the following four points:
1. Which if any of the alarms are to be high alarms and which if any
are to be low alarms?
Setting an alarm as HIGH triggers the alarm when the oxygen
concentration rises above the setpoint. Setting an alarm as LOW
triggers the alarm when the oxygen concentration falls below the
setpoint.
Decide whether you want the alarms to be set as:
•Both high (high and high-high) alarms, or
•One high and one low alarm, or
•Both low (low and low-low) alarms.
2. Are either or both of the alarms to be configured as failsafe?
In failsafe mode, the alarm relay de-energizes in an alarm
condition. For nonfailsafe operation, the relay is energized in an
alarm condition. You can set either or both of the concentration
alarms to operate in failsafe or nonfailsafe mode.
3. Are either of the alarms to be latching?
In latching mode, once the alarm or alarms trigger, they will
remain in the alarm mode even if process conditions revert back
to no-alarm conditions. This mode requires an alarm to be
recognized before it can be reset. In the nonlatching mode, the
alarm status will terminate when process conditions revert to noalarm conditions.
4. Are either of the alarms to be defeated?
The defeat alarm mode is incorporated into the alarm circuit so
that maintenance can be performed under conditions which
would normally activate the alarms.
The defeat function can also be used to reset a latched alarm.
(See procedures, below.)
If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your

The Model 3010MB is set at the factory to default to autoranging. In
this mode, the microprocessor automatically responds to concentration
changes by switching ranges for optimum readout sensitivity. If the current
range limits are exceeded, the instrument will automatically shift to the next
higher range. If the concentration falls to below 85% of full scale of the next
lower range, the instrument will switch to that range. A corresponding shift
in the DC percent-of-range output, and in the range ID outputs, will be
noticed.
The autoranging feature can be overridden so that analog output stays
on a fixed range regardless of the oxygen concentration detected. If the
concentration exceeds the upper limit of the range, the DC output will
saturate at 1 V dc (20 mA at the current output).
However, the digital readout and the RS-232 output of the concentration are unaffected by the fixed range. They continue to read accurately with
full precision. See Front Panel description in chapter 1.
The automatic air calibration range is always 0-25 % and is not programmable.

4.8Signal Output
The standard Model 3010MB Percent Paramagnetic Oxygen Analyzer
is equipped with two 0-1 V dc analog output terminals accessible on the
interface panel (one concentration and one range ID) and two isolated 4-20
mA dc current outputs (one concentration and one range ID).
See Rear Panel in chapter 3, Installation, for illustration.
The signal output for concentration is linear over the currently selected
analysis range. For example, if the analyzer is set on range that was defined
as 0–10% O2, then the output would be:
The analog output signal has a voltage which depends on the oxygen
concentration AND the currently activated analysis range. To relate the
signal output to the actual concentration, it is necessary to know what range
the instrument is currently on, especially when the analyzer is in the
autoranging mode.
To provide an indication of the range, a second pair of analog output
terminals are used. They generate a steady preset voltage (or current when
using the current outputs) to represent a particular range. The following table
gives the range ID output for each analysis range:

IMPORTANT:In the event of loss of flow through the analyzer, if the
vent is vented to a location of high oxygen content,
oxygen will back diffuse through the vent line and in
most cases quickly saturate the cell with oxygen which
can then require a quite long purge down time for
the sensor when then exposed to low oxygen concentrations. In the event that flow is to be interrupted into
the analyzer, it is suggested that the user do one of the
following:
1.Bag the sensor in nitrogen during this time
2.Install a shut off valve on the vent port of the analyzer or somewhere within the users sample system.

Maintenance
Aside from normal cleaning and checking for leaks at the gas connec-
tions, routine maintenance is limited to replacing fuses, and recalibration.
Checking for leaks, and replacing fuses in the Analysis Unit are covered in Part II, Chapter 5. For recalibration, see Part I, section 4.4 Calibra-tion.
WARNING: SEE WARNINGS ON THE TITLE PAGE OF THIS
MANUAL.
5.1Fuse Replacement
The 3010MB requires two 5 x 20 mm, 1.0 A, T type (Slow Blow)
fuses.
The fuses are located inside the main housing on the Electrical
Connector Panel, as shown in Figure 5-3. To replace a fuse:
1. Disconnect the Unit from its power source.
2. Place a small screwdriver in the notch in the fuse
holder cap, push in, and rotate 1/4 turn. The cap will
pop out a few millimeters. Pull out the fuse cap and
fuse, as shown in Figure 5-1

Operational Theory
1.1Introduction
The analyzer is composed of three subsystems:
1. Paramagnetic Sensor
2. Sample System
3. Electronic Signal Processing, Display and Control
The sample system is designed to accept the sample gas and transport it
through the analyzer without contaminating or altering the sample prior to
analysis. The Paramagnetic Sensor is an electromechanical device that
translates the amount of oxygen present in the sample into an electrical
signal. The electronic signal processing, display and control subsystem
simplifies operation of the analyzer and accurately processes the sampled
data. The microprocessor controls all signal processing, input/output and
display functions for the analyzer.
1.2Precise Paramagnetic Sensor
1.2.1 Principles of Operation
The heart of the 3010M is a paramagnetic type oxygen sensor that is
maintanance free and has a long lifetime. Oxygen has a very high magnetic
sucseptibility compared to other gases and thus displays a particularly paramagnetic behavior. A small glass dumbbell filled with nitrogen and rotating
on a taut platinum wire is suspended in an inhomogneous magnetic field.
This glass dumbbell is diamagnetic and tends to rotate out of the magnetic
field. The strength of the resulting torque determined by an susceptibility of
the sample gas. This torque is compensated for by a counter torque induced
by an electrically charged platinum coil on the dumbbell. The zero position
of the dumbbell is controlled by means of an optical system consisting of a
light source, a mirror at the dumbbell axis and a pair of detectors. The
difference between the compensating currents required to bring the dumb-

bell to the zero position in the presence of zero gas (i.e. no O2 present) or of
sample gas is proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in the sample
gas.
The sensor enclosure is temperature controlled to 55 degrees centigrade
to insure that the magnetic susceptibility of oxygen in the sample is not
affected by the ambient temperature. The measuring cell has a measuring
volume of approximately 3 cm

Sensor
(side view shown)
The Paramagnetic sensor enclosure holds not only the sensing elements,
but the temperature controller electronics, heating elements, sensor electronics, and preamplifier. The Electronics and heating elements require a separate
power source, from the rest of the 3020M capable of delivering 1.5 amps
approximately at 24 volts dc. The output of the sensor is roughly calibrated
to be 0 to 1 volt DC for the the range of 0 to 100 % 02. The true calibration
of the sensor is carried out by the microprocessor as described later in chapter 4. The electrical interconnections to the sensor are done through a 15 pin
D connector. Some signals from the sensor are not connected. They are only
useful for troubleshooting, by trained personnel, as test points.

1. 3 Cross Interference
As mentioned previously, the selectivity of the measuring system is
based on the extraordinarily high magnetic susceptibility of Oxygen compared to other gases. In most cases the presence of other gases can be ignored but significant errors can occur when the sensor is calibrated with a
mixture of oxygen and nitrogen and the sample gas consists mainly of other
gases with considerable magnetic susceptibility. In this case, the reading
shows a measured value even if the sample gas contains no Oxygen. It is
actually displaying the cross sensitivity to another gas.
The following table shows the cross sensitivity of some gases when
changing from pure nitrogen to 100% of one of the gases listed.

With gas mixtures the components are weighted according to their
proporational volumes.
The cross interference with a gas mixture can be determined in advance if the
concentration of the individual background gases is known.
Example:
Cross sensitivity calculation for a gas mixture:
The gas to be measured consists of 10 % CO2, 40 % of N2, and 50%
of Ar.
C02: -0.27 x 10% = -0.027
Ar: -0.22x5O%= -0.11
TOTAL CROSS INTERFERENCE -0.137
Calculation of the zero value:
(0% 02) - (Cross Interference Value) = Zero Point Value

A-5Zero Cal
The ZERO function on the MAIN MENU is used to enter the zero
calibration function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the automatic or manual mode. In the automatic mode, an internal algorithm compares consecutive readings from the sensor to determine when the output is
within the acceptable range for zero. In the manual mode, the operator
determines when the reading is within the acceptable range for zero.
Make sure the zero gas is connected to the instrument.
If you have trouble zeroing, you may need to skip to section 4.8.1.3
Cell Failure.
Auto Mode Zeroing
Select ZERO to enter the ZERO function. The ZERO screen allows
you to select whether the zero calibration is to be performed automatically or
manually. Use the DOWN/UP control to toggle between AUTO and MAN
zero settling. Stop when AUTO appears on the display.
Zero: Settling: AUTO
<ENT> To Begin
ENTER to begin zeroing.
#### % Zero
Slope=#### ppm/s
The beginning zero level is shown in the upper left corner of the display. As the zero reading settles, the screen displays and updates information
on Slope (unless the Slope starts within the acceptable zero range and does
not need to settle further).
Then, and whenever Slope is less than 0.08 for at least 3 minutes,
instead of Slope you will see a countdown, such as 1 Left, 0 Left. These are
steps in the zeroing process that the system must complete, AFTER settling,
before it can go back to ANALYZE.
#### % Zero

The zeroing process will automatically conclude when the output is
within the acceptable range for a good zero. Then the analyzer automatically
returns to the ANALYZE screen.

toggle between AUTO and MAN zero settling. Stop when MAN appears on
the display.
Zero: Settling: Man
<ENT> To Begin
ENTER to begin the zero calibration. After a few seconds the first of
five zeroing screens appears. The number in the upper left hand corner is the
first-stage zero offset. The microprocessor samples the output at a predetermined rate. It calculates the differences between successive samplings and
displays the rate of change as Slope= a value in parts per million per second
(ppm/s).
#### % Zero
Slope=#### ppm/s
NOTE:It takes several seconds for the true Slope value to display.
Wait about 10 seconds. Then, wait until Slope is sufficiently
close to zero before using ENTER to finish zeroing.
Generally, you have a good zero when Slope is less than 0.05 ppm/s
for about 30 seconds. When Slope is close enough to zero, ENTER it. In a
few seconds, the screen will update.
Once zero settling completes, the information is stored in the
microprocessor, and the instrument automatically returns to the ANALYZE
screen.
