Zero/Span Checking | Teledyne 300M manual

Teledyne API Model 300M CO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 04033, Rev. A

8.3 Zero/Span Checking

It is recommended that the Model 300M be checked daily for zero and span drift.

With the Automatic Zero/Span Check and Remote Zero/Span Check features of the Model 300M, daily zero and span checks are easy.

For Automatic Zero/Span Check and Remote Zero/Span Check to be effective, it is necessary that the analyzer have the Zero/Span valve option. This option includes the two three-way stainless steel valves and requires user-supplied sources of zero air and span gas delivered at ambient pressure.

Operating instructions for Automatic Zero/Span Check and Remote Zero/Span Check are described in Sections 3.3 through 3.6.
