6.3.1. CALIBRATION FUNCTIONS

Pressing the CAL key switches the M100E into calibration mode. In this mode, the user can calibrate the

instrument with the use of calibrated zero or span gases.

If the instrument includes either the zero/span valve option or IZS option, the display will also include CALZ and

CALS keys. Pressing either of these keys also puts the instrument into multipoint calibration mode.

 The CALZ key is used to initiate a calibration of the zero point.

 The CALS key is used to calibrate the span point of the analyzer. It is recommended that this span

calibration is performed at 80% of full scale of the analyzer’s currently selected reporting range.

Because of their critical importance and complexity, calibration operations are described in detail in other

sections of the manual:

 Chapter 8 details basic calibration and calibration check operations.

 Cha
