Cell EMFs: This is maintenance information which indicates the current output from each gas sen-
sor in volts. This is specifically of use when the product is being serviced and is a diagnostic tool
only.

Cell Zeros: Indicates the zero calibration voltage of the cells after the last calibration was completed.
The value for O

2

 represents the span voltage (V).

 Cell Life: Indicates the total amount of gas through the cell in ppm days. Each count may be indi-
vidually cleared from within the menu.

NOTE: The count must be set to zero whenever a sensor is replaced.

System: This provides a system overview of the instrument.

Version No.: Indicates the version of software installed in the instrument.
