IB-106-300MS
3-2
Do not use 100% nitrogen as a low gas
(zero gas). It is suggested that gas for the
low (zero) be between 0.4% and 2.0% O
2
.
Do not use gases with hydrocarbon
concentrations of more than 40 parts per
million. Failure to use proper gases will
result in erroneous readings.
3. Set the value of parameter 1 to the value of
the high test gas. Information on changing
parameters may be found in Instruction
Bulletins 106-101A, Model 218A or
106-300, World Class 3000 Digital electronic
packages.
4. Set the value of parameter 2 to the value of
the low test gas. Information on changing
parameters may be found in Instruction
Bulletins 106-101A, Model 218A or
106-300, World Class 3000 Digital electronic
packages.
b. Calibration. In the European model, the output is
locked at the value it held prior to entering the
calibration mode. It is held at this level until
calibration is over. During calibration, both high
and low oxygen alarms are disabled. The
American model continues to vary during
calibration.
If an alarm condition arises during calibration
(simple high, low alarms are disabled), the
calibration should be aborted deliberately to avoid
corrupting the slope or cell constant, and then
restarted.
If the slope and constant held in memory are
different from those of the probe, then the
indicated value may be different to that of the test
gas. This condition is corrected by recalibration.
The slope and constant are only updated into the
non-volatile memory if the calibration passes.
1. Depress ALT/FUNCT and hold. Now press
ACK/LOCK. Release both keys together.
2. Press [7] [ENTER]. The display now reads
"O
2
CAL" which indicates that the analyzer is
in the calibration mode.
NOTE
From this point on the only key used is
[ENTER]. If any other key is pressed, the
calibration will be aborted.
3. Press [ENTER], the display reads "TG1 on
?". Press [ENTER] at this prompt. The
display now shows the calculated value of
oxygen.
4. When the oxygen reading has settled (allow
approximately two to five minutes depending
on the length of the test gas tubing) press
[ENTER]. The display will momentarily
show "WAIT" as it stores the cell readings. It
will then show "TG2 on ?". Press [ENTER]
at this prompt.
5. The display will show the oxygen value.
When the oxygen value has settled, press
[ENTER].
6. Press [ENTER], the display shows the result
of the calibration, either "PASSED" or
"FAILED".
7. Press [ENTER], the display shows "REM
TG". Press [ENTER].
8. The display now shows "PURGE" for one
minute, after which the unit exits calibration
mode and displays oxygen value. As the test
gas may be slow to purge from the probe
chamber, one minute is allowed before
releasing the isolated control signal from its
locked position. (European units only.)
3-4. AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION. The automatic
calibration allows automatic calibration without
operator intervention. For fully automatic calibration,
Parameter 25 must be set to 0.
