6.3 Calibration check / Calibration of the selected gas combination
Note!
You can find a more detailed description of operating the MFA 9000 when calibrating in Sec-
tions 7.3.1 – 7.3.4.
Note!
Often a sufficient accuracy is achieved by a single point “Offset calibration”.
Note!
We recommend to use pure carrier gas to perform an “Offset Calibration”.
Note!
We recommend to use a calibration gas concentration close to the end of the desired meas-
uring range to perform a “Gain Calibration”.
If you are in the “Operation Screen” of the MFA 9000:
Press <UP> to proceed to the “Top Level Main Menu”.
Press <RIGHT> to select the menu item “Calibration”
Press <ENTER> to proceed to the “Calibration Menu”.
Select the menu item “Offset Gas” (Section 7.3.1) and check whether the set concentration
corresponds to the concentration of the calibration gas you intend to use.
Select the menu item “Gain Gas” (Section 7.3.2) and check whether the set concentration cor-
responds to the concentration of the calibration gas you intend to use.
Connect the calibration gas for the “Offset Calibration” to the calibration gas inlet (labelled: cal-
ibration gas) at the rear of the analyser.
Set the ball valve at the front of the analyser to “calibration gas”.
Proceed as described in Section 7.3.3.
A calibration is only necessary if the actual measured value (Actu.) differs noticeable from the
set setpoint (Targ.).
After check / calibration set the ball valve at the front of the analyser to “analysis gas”.
If you decide also to perform a “Gain Calibration” following the “Offset Calibration”:
Remove the calibration gas for the “Offset Calibration” and
connect the calibration gas for the “Gain Calibration” to the calibration gas inlet.
Set the ball valve at the front of the analyser to “calibration gas”.
Proceed as described in Section 7.3.4.
A calibration is only necessary if the actual measured value (Actu.) differs noticeable from the
set setpoint (Targ.).
After check / calibration set the ball valve at the front of the analyser to “analysis gas”.
Note!
A calibration is only valid for the currently selected measuring gas / carrier gas combina-
tion. If you select another gas combination a check / calibration with adequate calibration
gases for that gas combination should be performed.
