5.4. CALIBRATION CHECKS
Informal calibration checks, which only evaluate but do not alter the analyzer’s response
curve, are recommended as a regular maintenance item and in order to monitor the
analyzer’s performance. To carry out a calibration check rather than a full calibration,
follow these steps.
STEP ONE:
Connect the sources of zero air and span gas as shown in Figure 5-2 or Figure 5-3.
STEP TWO:
Perform the zero/span calibration check procedure:

points of this process.
It is not necessary to press
them.

Allow zero gas to enter the sample port
at the rear of the analyzer.
Wait until
NOX STB
falls below
0.5 ppm.
This may take several
minutes.
Allow span gas to enter the sample port
at the rear of the analyzer.
Wait until
NOX STB
falls below
0.5 ppm.
This may take several
minutes.
Analyzer display
