Readjust the gas pressure into the analyzer until the flowrate (as
read on the analyzer’s SLPM flowmeter) settles between 0.15 and 2.4
SLPM (approximately 0.2 - 5 SCFH).
If you are using password protection, you will need to enter your
password to gain access to either of these functions. Follow the

4.8.1 Zero Cal
The
Zero
button on the front panel is used to enter the zero
calibration function. Zero calibration can be performed in either the
automatic or manual mode. In the
automatic
mode, an internal
algorithm compares consecutive readings from the sensor to determine
when the output is within the acceptable range for zero. In the
manual
mode, the operator determines when the reading is within the acceptable
range for zero. Make sure the zero gas is connected to the instrument. If
you get a
CELL FAILURE
message skip to Section 4.8.1.3.

The beginning zero level is shown in the upper left corner of the
display. As the zero reading settles, the screen displays and updates
information on
Slope
(unless the Slope starts within the acceptable zero
range and does not need to settle further).
