Validation 
Validation procedure 
Validation runs in principle just like an automatic calibration. The difference 
is that during validation a measurement value deviation from the set point 
values is not corrected automatically. Instead the procedure is as follows: 
•  When the (test gas) measurement values for start and end point are 
within the respective limits provided with the parameters the success of 
the validation is recorded in the logbook. 
•  When the (test gas) measurement values for start and end point are 
outside the parameterized limit values the failure of the validation is 
recorded in the logbook. Either the "Maintenance request" status is set 
or a calibration of the sample component is performed. 
Validation parameters 
The parameter settings for automatic calibration (see page 227) also apply 
to validation.   
After selecting validation in the Operating Mode parameter, it must be set 
•  If the validation result shall be logged and 
•  If in case of a validation failure 
•  the "Maintenance request" status shall be set or 
•  the sample component shall be calibrated. 
In the Test gas concentration parameter the start- and end-point limit 
values have to be set for each sample component. If these limit values are 
over- or undershot the validation is rated as failure.
