4.4.1.2Manual Mode Zeroing

Press Zero to enter the Zero function. The screen that appears allows you to select between automatic or manual zero calibration. Use the Δ∇ keys to toggle between AUTO and MAN zero settling. Stop when MAN appears, blinking, on the display.

Zero: Settling: Man

<ENT> To Begin

Press Enter to begin the zero calibration. After a few seconds the first of five zeroing screens appears. The number in the upper left hand corner is the first-stage zero offset. The microprocessor samples the output at a prede-

termined rate. It calculates the differences between successive samplings and displays the rate of change as Slope= a value in parts per million per second

(ppm/s).

####ppm Zero

Slope=#### ppm/s

NOTE:It takes several seconds for the true Slope value to display. Wait about 10 seconds. Then, wait until Slope is sufficiently close to zero before pressing Enter to finish zeroing. Slope is given in ppm/s.

Generally, you have a good zero when Slope is less than 0.05 ppm/s for about 30 seconds. When Slope is close enough to zero, press Enter. In a few seconds, the screen will update.

Once span settling completes, the information is stored in the microprocessor, and the instrument automatically returns to the Analyze mode.

4.4.1.3Cell Failure

Cell failure in the 3010MB is usually associated with inability to zero the instrument down to a satisfactorily low ppm reading, e.g. cell does not fail if it comes below 5PPM . When this occurs, the 3010MB system alarm trips, and the LCD displays a failure message.

CELL FAIL/ ZERO HIGH

Before replacing the cell:

a.Check your span gas to make sure it is within specifications.

b.Check for leaks downstream from the cell, where oxygen may be leaking into the system.
