####% Span

Slope=#### ppm/s

When the Span value displayed on the screen is sufficiently stable, press Enter. (Generally, when the Span reading changes by 1 % or less of the full scale of the range being calibrated for a period of ten minutes it is sufficiently stable.) Once Enter is pressed, the Span reading changes to the correct value. The instrument then automatically enters the Analyze func- tion.

4.4.3Span Failure

The analyzer checks the output of the cell at the end of the span. If the raw output of the cell is less than 0.5 uA/ppm O2, the span will not be accepted. The analyzer will return to the previous calibration values, trigger the System Alarm, and display in the VFD:

Span Failed!!

This message will be shown for five seconds and the instrument shall return to the Analyze mode. In the upper right hand corner of the VFD display “FCAL” will be shown. This message flag will help the operator troubleshoot in case calibration was initiated remotely. To reset the alarm and the flag message, the unit must be turned off by cycling the standby key . It will not reset if the next span cycle is correct.

A trace cell is unlikely to fail span. As explained before, when the sensor reaches the end of its useful life, the zero offset begins to rise until the analyzer finds the zero unsatisfactory. Nevertheless, feeding the wrong span gas or electronics failure could set this feature off at the end of the span. Consider this before replacing the cell.

4.5The Alarms Function

The Model 3010MB is equipped with 2 fully adjustable concentration alarms and a system failure alarm. Each alarm has a relay with a set of form C contacts rated for 3 amperes resistive load at 250 V ac. See figure in chapter 3, Installation and/or the Interconnection Diagram included at the back of this manual for relay terminal connections.

The system failure alarm has a fixed configuration described in chapter

3Installation.

The concentration alarms can be configured from the front panel as either high or low alarms by the operator. The alarm modes can be set as
