where when a sample from only one concentration standard is available.
To adjust the analyzer reading:
1. Validate the analyzer using one or two concentration standards [see
“Validating the Analyzer” on page 3-15].
2. Calculate the S Factor and/or S Factor Offset parameter(s) using
the equations above.
3. Follow the procedure under “To change parameters in Mode 2”
on page 3-6 to enter the new values.
Confirm the new values by re-measuring the bottle(s) of test gas.
Changing Measurement Range (for dual-range
moisture systems onl
y)
The measurement range on moisture systems that have been specifically
calibrated for dual-range operation can be switched by changing a few key
parameters. Refer to the parameter specifications that come with the analyzer
calibration documents.
To change measurement range:
1. Follow the procedure under “To change parameters in Mode 2”
on page 3-6 to enter new parameter values.
2. Scroll through the parameters by pressing the * key until arriving at
the Peak Tracking parameter.
SpectraSensors recommends validating the analyzer using only
H

O & CO

in CH

. Bottles of test gas with certified concentrations
of approximately 20% and 80% of full scale are recommended for
two point validation. For single point validation, a bottle with a
certified concentration of approximately 50% of full scale should
be used.
When procuring a gas standard, make sure the background gas is
that specified (H

O & CO

in CH

) or a mix that closely resembles
the contents of the process stream and have the gas stan
dard
certified to better than the specified precision of the analyzer, if
possible.
