2.1.1 Zero/Span Calibration with Z/S Valves or ECO Option
The zero gas enters through the zero gas inlet port on the rear panel. Make sure that
the umbilical cord that makes the control connections between the analyzer and the
converter is connected (see Figure 2 below). The zero gas valve can be activated by a
variety of methods discussed in Section 7 of the M200A manual. The example below
will use the front panel keyboard to activate the valves.

Wait for reading to stabilize at zero. If the
instrument has recently been exposed to high
levels of NH3, you may need to wait up to 2
hours for the instrument to return to zero.

M201A returns to sampling. This switches the
ZS valves so that sample gas is coming in the
sample port on the rear of the instrument.
Immediately after calibration, data is not added
to the DAS averages.
