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. This menu can

 

 

also be entered from CALS or CALZ.

 

 

 

2.

Press ENTR

ENTR stores the expected NOx span value.

3.

Press

Now enter the expected NO span concentration as in step one.

 

CAL-CONC-NO

 

 

 

 

4.

Press ENTR

Pressing ENTR stores the NO span value and returns the

 

 

prompt to the CONC menu.

5.

Press EXIT

Returns instrument to SAMPLE mode.

 

 

 

If desired, compensation for moly converter efficiency (CE) can be included in the NOx concentration calculation. The CE must be entered prior to calibration. Refer to Section 7.6.6.1 for the CE procedure.

1.

Press CAL

The M200AU enters the calibrate mode. NO span gas should

 

 

be fed to the sample port. When the CAL button is pressed,

 

 

the adaptive filter is activated. This allows the instrument to

 

 

respond rapidly to concentration changes regardless of their

 

 

magnitude.

 

 

 

2.

Wait 10 min

Wait for reading to stabilize at span value.

 

 

 

3.

Press SPAN

If you change your mind after pressing SPAN, you can still

 

 

press EXIT here without spanning the instrument.

4.

Press ENTR

Pressing ENTR actually changes the calculation equations and

 

 

causes the instrument to read the NO and NOx span

 

 

concentrations.

 

 

 

5.

Press EXIT

M200AU returns to sampling. Immediately after calibration,

 

 

data is not added to the DAS averages.
