Active Zero On/Off
Figure 58: Active Zero On/Off Menu
The Active Zero Offset feature is designed to automatically compensate for the analyzer’s 
gradual zero baseline cleanup. This gradual cleanup is natural and occurs after a fresh 
startup or after a prolonged or abnormally high moisture exposure. This feature ensures that 
accurate low ppb H
2
O readings can be made as soon as possible after initial startup, or after 
a high H
2
O upset event. It is similar to the User Zero Offset feature in that a small positive 
offset is added to the analyzer H
2
O readings (display and output) to compensate for the 
long term downward trending in the readings during cleanup. The Active Zero Offset 
provides an automatic addition of offset that occurs in miniscule steps, and within set 
guidelines, corresponding to predictable behavior during cleanup.
When Active Zero Offset is enabled through the Diagnostics Menu, the User Zero Offset 
feature is disabled and vice versa. See page 40 for more information on the User Zero 
function. While the User Zero Offset feature requires the user to enter a fixed positive offset 
value to accommodate the baseline cleanup, the Active Zero Offset does so automatically, 
and only when necessary.
The current Active Zero Offset value is shown in the Check/Adjust Zero screen as shown in 
Figure 27. It starts at a value of 0.00 ppb when the analyzer is first turned on, and then 
increments automatically as the analyzer applies offset to the readings. After each User Zero 
Calibration, the Active Zero Offset value is reset to 0.00 ppb and then automatically 
increments again as needed.
The Active Zero Offset is designed to operate when the zero baseline is falling at a rate less 
than 0.1 ppb/hr as would be the case after 1-2 weeks of initial operation. If user calibrations 
are performed sooner, the H
2
O readings may be decreasing too rapidly for the Active Zero 
Offset feature to operate properly and negative H
2
O readings may result. 
If the Active Zero Offset value reaches 5 ppb a warning message CAL ZERO will flash in 
the system status block on the display instructing the user that a zero calibration should be 
performed. The maximum amount of offset that can be applied by this feature is 5 ppb. Any 
further downward trend (baseline cleanup) exceeding –0.3ppb will result in negative 
readings until the next user calibration is performed resetting the Active Zero Offset value 
to zero.
