2.

Key in expected

Enter the expected NO2 cal gas concentration. (We suggest you

 

NO2 concentration.

generate a NO2 concentration of 80% of current range.)

 

Then ENTR

4.

Press

Allow the NO2 concentration reading to stabilize. It may take

 

CAL-CONC-

time for the ENTR button to appear because the only valid

 

CONV-CAL, wait

values for CE are .96 to 1.02. The ENTR button will not come

 

10 min. Then press

on unless the value is in this range.

 

ENTR

When ENTR is pressed, the M200AU will compute the ratio of

 

 

 

 

observed NO2 concentration to expected NO2 concentration and

 

 

store the ratio.

5.

Press SET

After the instrument calculates the CE it is good practice to

 

 

check the ratio.

 

 

 

6.

Press EXIT

The M200AU will now compensate all readings for this

 

 

converter efficiency value.
