5.5 Span Calibration
A span calibration is a calibration performed at the upper end of the instrument’s measurement range.
Ecotech recommends calibration at 80% of the full scale measurement or operating range of the
instrument.
While the instrument range is commonly set as a default 0 - 50 ppm, this is widely recognised as no
longer being valid with modern digital communication and most regulators will now recommend a
range more suited to local conditions.
A span gas can be supplied through either the Calibration Port or Sample Port. Refer to the instructions
outlined in the next two sections.
