EC9830 CO ANALYZER OPERATION MANUAL 
2-24  98307600 Rev. C-1 
The TEST MENU includes a series of submenus containing information and control 
settings  for  testing  and  verifying  instrument  functions.  The  operator  can  make 
changes  to  settings;  however,  when  the  instrument  is  returned  to  normal 
operation,  the  instrument’s  automatic  control  function  resumes.  Changes  made 
from this menu are for diagnostic and test purposes only.  
MEASUREMENT GAIN 
Entries are microprocessor controlled settings of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 
128. 
PRES/TEMP/FLOW COMP 
Set to either ON or OFF. OFF is used when running diagnostics to see fluctuations 
in readings. ON is used to compensate for environmental fluctuations that might 
affect readings. 
DIAGNOSTIC MODE 
Allows  the  operator  to  choose  OPERATE,  OPTIC,  ELECT,  or  PREAMP.  During 
measurement, set to OPERATE. During diagnostic testing, set to the system to be 
diagnosed. 
CONTROL LOOP 
Allows the operator to choose ENABLED or DISABLED. When ENABLED is selected, 
the  microprocessor  maintains  control  of  the  digital  pots;  when  DISABLED  is 
selected,  the  microprocessor  does  not  control  the  digital  pots  and  the  user  can 
manually  adjust  the  digital  pots.  When  CONTROL  LOOP  is  ENABLED,  the  
microprocessor will take control of the pots at the point at which the pots were 
last  set.  CONTROL  LOOPS  will  be  set  to  ENABLED  when  the  primary  screen  is  
displayed. 
TEST MEASURE 
Software-controlled  pot  that  is  used  by  technicians  when  troubleshooting,  or 
verifying  correct  instrument  performance.  This  option  only  appears  when  the 
diagnostic mode is set to OPTIC, ELECT or PREAMP. 
CO 
Gas concentration reading during diagnostics. This option only appears when the 
diagnostic mode is set to OPTIC, ELECT or PREAMP.
