Possibility of condensed moisture on
optical elements. Dry sensor. After
drying, if this status lasts longer than
for 20 minutes at stable conditions,
replace sensor.

Zero shifts to negative value.
Possibility of condensed moisture on
optical elements. Dry sensor. After
drying, if this status lasts longer than
for 20 minutes at stable conditions,
perform zeroing (see Appendix D.1 for
procedure description).

Exceeding temperature limits.
Check the ambient temperature.

An abrupt signal change (due to
feeding a gas mixture to sensor
atmosphere) or increased noise on
sensor optical elements.
Do not perform span calibration or
zeroing.
If this status lasts longer than for 20
minutes at stable conditions, replace
sensor.
