SUBSYSTEMS

9.4.1. PRESSURE CALIBRATION

A sensor in the sample path continuously measures the pressure of the sample
gas. This data is used to compensate the measured CO2 and O2 concentrations for
changes in atmospheric pressure and is stored in the CPU’s memory as the test
function PRES (also viewable via the front panel).
To carry out this adjustment, the current ambient atmospheric pressure must be
known.
Before performing the following pressure calibration, ensure that the pressure
being measured by the analyzer’s internal sensor is equal to ambient atmospheric
pressure by disconnecting:
The sample gas pump and;
The sample gas-line vent from the sample gas inlet on the instrument’s rear
panel.
