The following table describes the state of each valve during the analyzer’s various
operational modes.

The state of the zero/span valves can also be controlled:
• Manually from the analyzer’s front panel by using the SIGNAL I/O controls
located under the DIAG Menu (Section 6.7.2),
• By activating the instrument’s AutoCal feature (Section 7.8),
• Remotely by using the external digital control inputs (Section 6.8.2 and Section
7.7.1), or
• Remotely through the RS-232/485 serial I/O ports (see Appendix A-6 for the
appropriate commands).
Sources of zero and span gas flow must be capable of supplying at least 600 cm
3
/min.
Both supply lines should be vented outside of the analyzer’s enclosure. In order to
prevent back-diffusion and pressure effects, these vent lines should be between 2 and 10
meters in length.
5.4.2. Internal Zero/Span Gas Generator (Option 51)
The M100E can be equipped with an internal zero air and span gas generator (IZS). This
option includes a heated enclosure for a permeation tube, an external scrubber for
producing zero air and a set of valves for switching between the sample gas inlet and the
output of the zero/span subsystem, functionally very similar to the valves included in the
zero/span valve option.
Figure 5-3 shows the internal pneumatic connections for a Model 100E with the IZS
option installed. The following table contains the operational state of the valves
associated with the IZS option during the analyzer’s various operational modes.
