12. With zero air still flowing and measurements stabilized, click on the Zero CO
2
and H
2
O
button in the
ECMon
zero-and-span window.
NOTE:
Air flow into the shroud should be close to the recommended rate. If the flow is too low,
the shroud will not be properly flushed; if it is too high, the air pressure within the
shroud will be too high, and the analyzer will not be zeroed and spanned properly.
13. Remove the zero air source and replace it with the CO
2
span gas. Allow the gas to flow
through the shroud, maintaining a flow between 0.4 and 0.6 LPM. Wait for readings to
stabilize.
14. In the zero-and-span window, enter the known concentration of CO
2
(in ppm) in the box
labeled Span Concentration (dry) and press Span.
15. Replace the CO
2
span gas with an H
2
O span gas of known dewpoint. Allow the gas to flow
through the shroud; higher flows may be desired for a couple of minutes to more quickly
establish equilibrium before resuming a flow between 0.4 and 0.6 LPM. Wait for the
readings to stabilize.
16. Enter the known dew point (in °C) in the box labeled Span Dew Point and press Span.
17. The zero-and-span procedure is now complete. Remove the shroud, reconnect the
IRGASON temperature probe, and prepare the site for normal operation.
9.5 Replacing desiccant and scrubber bottles
If more than two years have passed since replacing the desiccant-scrubber bottles within the
IRGASON, or if the zero-and-span readings have drifted excessively (see
the bottles should be replaced.
Twist the scrubber-bottle covers of the upper and lower arms counter-clockwise until they
detach (they should loosen by hand). Remove the IRGASON chemical bottles from inside the
covers, and replace the expired bottles with new ones, inserting them with lid of the bottle
toward the sensor (see
(p. 41)). Once this is done, firmly screw the covers back on the
arms. Allow the sensor to equilibrate for at least 24 hours (longer if in high humidity), and then
perform a zero-and-span procedure. If readings continue to be suspect, the sensor may need
factory recalibration (see
