After the instrument is turned on, it runs through the start-up menu.
Then the message “
Please apply zero gas…
” is displayed.
At this point, you can perform a zero air (fresh air) calibration. If the
ambient air is clean, you can use that. Otherwise, use a cylinder of
zero air. Refer to Zero Calibration on page 37 for a more detailed
description of zero calibration.
Start zero calibration by pressing Start. You see the message
“Zeroing…” followed by a 30-second countdown.
Note:
You can press [MODE] to quit, bypassing the zero air
calibration.
When zero calibration is complete, you see the message:
Zeroing is done!
Reading = 0 ppb
The instrument is now sampling and collecting data.
Note:
At the Average & Peak, Date & Time & Temperature, Calibration
Gas & Measurement Gas & Correction Factor, and PC Communications
screens, the instrument automatically goes to the main display after 60
seconds if you do not push a key to make a selection.
Alarm Signals
During each measurement period, the gas concentration is compared
with the programmed alarm limits (gas concentration alarm limit
settings). If the concentration exceeds any of the preset limits, the
loud buzzer and red flashing LED are activated immediately to warn
you of the alarm condition.
In addition, the instrument alarms if one of the following conditions
occurs: battery voltage falls below a preset voltage level, failure of
the UV lamp, or pump stall.
