Teledyne API Model 300M CO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 04033, Rev. A 

 

3  PERFORMANCE TESTING 

Zero/span checking and calibration of the Teledyne API CO Analyzer is divided into two 
sections. Chapter 3 discusses the different methods by which the analyzer's zero and span 
settings may be checked and adjusted. The emphasis in Chapter 3 is on the operation of the 
buttons and the internal adjustments they make in the instrument. 

3.1  Manual Zero/Span Check  

NOTE 

Zero or span checks can be performed in any order.

 

 

 

NOTE 

Span gas concentration may trigger gas alarms unless the analyzer is 

in the calibration mode. Press CAL button prior to introducing  

span gas into the analyzer.

 

 

 

Operators can manually check the zero and span set-points of the analyzer while in sample mode 
by allowing the instrument to sample calibration gas and pressing the 

CAL

 button. This is also 

referred to as a multi-point calibration. 

3.1.1  Zero Check 

Allow the analyzer to sample zero air through the sample port. Press 

CAL

 button. After a few 

minutes the CO reading should go to zero. If it doesn't, the operator may press the 

ZERO

 button 

followed by 

ENTR

. This will force the CO reading to go to zero and modify the internal 

formulas used to compute the CO reading. If the 

ZERO

 button is not displayed, this means that 

the zero reading is too far out of adjustment to do a reliable calibration. The reason for this must 
be determined before the analyzer can be calibrated. See Section 10.5 for troubleshooting 
calibration problems. Pressing 

EXIT

 will bring you back to the sample menu or leave the 

instrument in CAL mode if you are also going to make a span check.
