1.

Press

This key sequence causes the M200AU to prompt for the

 

CAL-CONC-NOX

expected NOx concentration. Enter the NOx span

 

 

concentration value by pressing the key under each digit until

 

 

the expected value is set.

 

 

 

2.

Press ENTR

ENTR stores the expected NOx span value. This value will be

 

 

used in the internal formulas to compute subsequent NOx

 

 

concentration values.

3.

Press

In the same CAL-CONC sub menu press the NO button and

 

CAL-CONC-NO

enter the expected NO span value, then ENTR. As before this

 

 

value will be used in the internal formulas to compute the

 

 

subsequent NO concentration values.

 

 

 

4.

Press EXIT-EXIT

Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.

 

 

 

5.

Press

If necessary, you may want to change ranges. Normally the

 

SETUP-RNGE-

instrument is shipped in single range mode set at 500 ppb. We

 

MODE-SING-ENTR

recommend doing the initial checkout on the 500 ppb range.

 

 

 

6.

Press

After SETUP-RNGE-SET, enter 500 and press ENTR. The

 

SETUP-RNGE-SET

instrument will now be in the 500 ppb range.

 

 

 

7.

Press EXIT

Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.
