5.2  Span Calibration 
Span calibrations calibrate the instrument to the upper limits of normal monitoring. Ecotech 
recommends that 80% of the required measurement range should be sufficient for calibrations in 
ambient monitoring situations (~400 ppb). A span calibration can be performed through either the 
Calibration Port or Sample Port. Follow the relevant instructions below:  
Calibration Port 
1.  Ensure a suitable span gas source is connected to the calibration port on the back panel of the 
analyser (refer to Section 2.3.1). 
2.  Set the span source to a known concentration (80% of the required measurement range 
recommended). 
3.  Enter the Main Menu  Calibration Menu. 
4.  Set Cal. Mode to Span. 
5.  Let the instrument stabilise (15 minutes). 
6.  Enter the Quick Menu and select Span Calibrate. 
(Also accessible through: Main MenuCalibration MenuSpan Calibrate). 
7.  A box will appear with editable numbers. Enter the concentration being delivered to the 
instrument. 
8.  The instrument will perform a span calibration.  
9.  Enter Main menu  Calibration Menu and set Cal. Mode back to Measure. 
10. The instrument will return to normal activities. 
Sample Port 
1.  Ensure suitable span gas source is connected to the sample port on the back panel of analyser 
(refer to Section 2.3.1). 
2.  Set the span source to a known concentration (80% of the required measurement range 
recommended). 
3.  Let the instrument stabilise (15 minutes). 
4.  Enter the Quick Menu and select Span Calibrate. 
(Also accessible through: Main MenuCalibration MenuSpan Calibrate). 
5.  A box will appear with editable numbers. Enter the concentration being delivered to the 
instrument. 
6.  Instrument will perform span calibration, when finished the instrument will return to normal 
activities.
