EC9830 CO ANALYZER OPERATION MANUAL 
2-20  98307600 Rev. C-1 
FILTER TYPE 
Sets  the  time  constant  of  the  digital  filter.  Choices  are  NO  FILTER,  300 
SECONDS,  90 SECONDS,  60 SECONDS,  30 SECONDS,  10 SECONDS  or  KALMAN 
(adaptive). 
Note 
The  Kalman  filter  is  the  factory  default  setting  and 
must  be  used  when  using  the  instrument  as  a  U.S. 
EPA equivalent method. 
NOISE 
The standard deviation of the concentration. The manner in which this is done is 
as follows:  1. Take a concentration value once every two minutes; 2. Store 25 of 
these  samples  in  a  first  in,  last  out  buffer;  3. Every  two  minutes,  calculate  the 
standard deviation of the current 25 samples. This is a microprocessor-generated 
field and cannot be set by the operator. 
Note 
This  reading  is  only  valid  if  zero  air  or  a  steady 
concentration  of  span  gas  has  been  fed  to  the 
analyzer for at least one hour. 
ZERO OFFSET 
ZERO calibration correction factor. User can manually set the offset between  
± 10.00 PPB. 
 
2.5.5 Calibration Menu 
The CALIBRATION  MENU  contains entries used to choose calibration gases or to 
perform automatic zero-span cycles. The choice of TIMED or MANUAL calibration 
displays a slightly different screen. TIMED calibration generates a zero/span check 
that occurs at a chosen interval without operator intervention. MANUAL calibration 
allows  for  operator-controlled  calibration.  Only  one  choice,  TIMED  or  MANUAL, 
applies at any given time.
