ZO23: Gas analyzer start-up 
Gas analyzer start-up procedure, initial calibration at the installation site 
1  Turn on the gas analyzer power supply. 
After approx. 15 minutes, the sample cell has reached its operating 
temperature. If required, the gas analyzer can be calibrated at the ref-
erence point (see step 3) and the end point (see step 5).   
2  For setting the reference point (= electrical zero), feed ambient air wait 
and until the measured value has stabilized (duration approx. 2 hrs.). 
Meanwhile, purge the test gas valves and the gas supply line with oxy-
gen-free gas (e.g. with nitrogen from a loop feeder) or with sample gas 
(flow rate 5 to 10 l/h). 
3  Set reference point to 20.6 vol.% of O
2
. 
4  Feed span gas and wait until the measured value has stabilized (dura-
tion max. 2 hrs.). 
5  Set end-point value in accordance with the certificate of analysis of 
6  The gas analyzer is ready for performing measurements; feed sample 
gas.

Information for test gases can be found in the section "ZO23: Preparation 
for installation" (see page 67).
