Other errors
Regularly calibrate the device at the zero point (function 20) and with regard to span
(function 21) with the corresponding test gases in accordance with the drift specifications.
Make sure the gas preparation is clean.
A larger zero drift is usually a sign that residue or dust particles have deposited in the FID.
The following errors are not signalized or stored by the device, but are only detectable based
on characteristic measured values.

Fault
Large zero drift toward +
Large span drift
Span depends strongly on flow
