    (recommended) The primary causes of 5000 sensitivity loss is contaminant buildup on the crystal detector in the moisture cell. Anything done to minimize detector exposure to the contaminant or to remove the contaminant from the crystal will improve service life. The asymmetric cycle option minimizes exposure to a dirty sample and removes volatile contaminants from the crystal.

    DETERMINATION OF OFFSET AND COEFFICIENT D ADJUSTMENT Background Because sample and reference gases travel different paths to the analyzer cell, they are subject- ed to different outgassing effects. The components they pass through outgas at constant but dissimilar rates. This results in a different amount of moisture being sorbed by the sample and reference gases and creates an offset frequency between the two gases.
