span stand. The top tube is the gas intake, the black cable is the
temperature thermistor, and the short bottom tube is the gas
exhaust.
4. Disconnect the IRGASON temperature sensor from the EC100 and
connect the shroud temperature sensor in its place.
5. Connect the EC100 to a PC with the EC100 USB cable (pn 26563).
6. Resume power to the EC100. Wait for all the Gas and Power LED status
lights on the EC100 panel to turn green.
7. Launch ECMon , select the appropriate USB port, and click Connect . The
main screen should now be reporting real-time CO
2
and H
2
O
concentrations. Click Zero/Span . A graph will appear in the lower half of
the zero-and-span window showing measured CO
2
and H
2
O concentrations
(see FIGURE 9-5 ).
8. Connect a gas tank of known CO
2
concentration to a pressure regulator,
then to a flow controller, and finally to the intake of the shroud. Optimally,
the concentration of span CO
2
should be near the concentration of CO
2
being measured in the field. Begin with both the pressure regulator and
flow controller turned off. Then use the pressure regulator to slowly
increase pressure to the recommended setting for the flow controller. Next
set the flow between 0.4 and 0.6 l/min. Watch the
ECMon
zero-and-span
graph for the CO
2
measurement readings to stabilize (5 to 10 minutes).
Once stable, write down the reported CO
2
concentration.
