5.6.3. ZERO/SPAN/SHUTOFF VALVE (OPTION 50B)
This option requires that both zero air and span gas be supplied from external sources.
Span gas will be supplied from a pressurized bottle of calibrated CO gas.
A critical flow control orifice, internal to the instrument ensures that the proper flow rate is maintained.
An internal vent line ensures that the gas pressure of the span gas is reduced to ambient atmospheric
pressure.
A SHUTOFF valve preserves the span gas source when it is not in use.
Zero gas is supplied by either an external scrubber or a zero air generator such as the Teledyne API’s
M701.
