20 , 5  SERVICE ZERO specifies the number of zero calibration cycles
to be repeated after a defined number of reactions between
each zero calibration cycle. The first setting "20" is the number of
reactions between each zero calibration cycle, and the second
setting "5" is the total number of zero calibration cycles which will
be carried out.
 SERVICE ZERO cycle is activated by the SET SERVICE ZERO
function in Service menu.
 Anytime the Zero Adjust value is changed, either manually by
the user or automatically by the system, the new Zero Adjust
value is stored in the Zero Adjust History archive with the time,
date, zero range and the zero type (calibration, check or manual)
information.
 The meaning of the codes used in the system for zero adjust are
as follows:
5  SPAN PROGRAM defines the number of reactions to be carried
out for Span Calibration and Span Check cycles, which are
activated by RUN SPAN CALIBRATION/CHECK functions in
Span Calibration menu. If the Span Calibration or Span Check
is programmed as YES in New Regents Program menu, START
NEW REAGENT CYCLE function in Install New Reagents menu
will also run the relevant span cycle.
 The span calibration/check reactions are run at a single range
programmed by the RANGE below. System calculates and uses
the same Span Adjust values for other ranges as well.
 SPAN AVERAGE is the number of span reactions the system
3
averages to calculate the Span Adjust factor.
1  RANGE (1 by default) determines the range at which all Span
Calibration and Span Check reactions are carried out.
10.0mgC/l  TOC CALIBRATION STANDARD defines the TOC standard
solution concentration level (mgC/l) to be used in Span
Calibration reactions.
 If TOC CALIBRATION STANDARD is programmed as 0.0mgC/l,
system ignores the Span Calibration results and omits any
related warnings defined in TOC BAND below.
 TOC CHECK STANDARD defines the TOC standard solution
10.0mgC/l
concentration level (mgC/l) to be used in Span Check reactions.
 If TOC CHECK STANDARD is programmed as 0.0mgC/l,
system ignores the Span Check results and omits any related
warnings defined in TOC BAND below.
5.0mgC/l  TIC CALIBRATION STANDARD defines the TIC standard
solution concentration level (mgC/l) to be used in Span
Calibration reactions.
 If TIC CALIBRATION STANDARD is programmed as 0.0mgC/l,
system ignores the Span Calibration results and omits any
related warnings defined in TIC BAND below.
 In TC systems, TIC CALIBRATION STANDARD is not
displayed.
5.0mgC/l  TIC CHECK STANDARD defines the TIC standard solution
concentration level (mgC/l) to be used in Span Check reactions.
 If TIC CHECK STANDARD is programmed as 0.0mgC/l, system
ignores the Span Check results and omits any related warnings
defined in TIC BAND below.
 In TC systems, TIC CHECK STANDARD is not displayed.
TOC/TC-ZC: Zero calibration result for TOC/TC.
TOC/TC-ZK: Zero check result for TOC/TC.
TOC/TC-ZM: Manually input Zero Adjust for TOC/TC.
