3.2.1 Zero and Span Calibration for XNX EC Sensors,
mV Sensors, and Searchpoint Optima
Caution: Beforeinitialcalibration,allowthesensortostabilizefor30minutes
afterapplyingpower.WheninZeroandSpanCalibrationmodes,thecurrent
outputfromthesensorisinhibited(default2mA)toavoidfalsealarms.
Caution:Formoststickygases(e.g.,HCl,Cl

)usePTFEtubingwithshort
piecesofrubbertubeforthefinalconnection(duetotheinflexibilityofPTFE).This
minimizesadhesionofthegastothetubesurfaceandallowsmoreaccurate
