8.2 Manual Zero/Span Check or Calibration with
Zero/Span Valves Option
The Zero/Span valve option can be operated from the front panel keyboard. In the Zero/Span valve
option the zero and span gas comes into the valves through ports on the rear panel of the instrument.

Step Number Action Comment
1. Press CALZ The analyzer enters the zero calibrate mode. This switches
the zero valve to allow zero gas to come in through the zero
gas inlet port on the rear panel. If AutoRange is enabled,
then select LO or HI range and press ENTR.
2. Wait 10 min Wait for reading to stabilize at zero value.
3. Press ZERO If you change your mind after pressing ZERO, you can still
press EXIT here without zeroing the instrument.
4. Press ENTR Pressing ENTR actually changes the calculation equations,
forcing the reading to zero.
5. Press EXIT M100AH returns to sample mode. Immediately after
calibration, readings do not go into the DAS averages.
