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

 

3.1.2  Span Check 

Allow the analyzer to sample span gas through the sample port. Press 

CAL

 button. After a few 

minutes the CO reading should be at the expected concentration. If the correct concentration is 
not reached, then the instrument can be adjusted to read the correct value. To do this, press 

CONC

 and enter the expected concentration of the calibration gas. The 

SPAN

 button should 

now be displayed on the front panel. Pressing 

SPAN

 and 

ENTER

 will modify the internals 

formulas used to compute the CO reading.  If the 

SPAN

 button is not displayed, this means that 

the span 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.
