Gas Surveyor 526 has a zero fault. Tried to zero manually and put through the depot checker and will not clear. Any ideas of how to clear. Thanks

To clear a zero fault on the GMI Gasurveyor 526:
1. Switch off the instrument. 2. Switch it on again in fresh air. 3. If the fault does not clear, leave the instrument on for 30 minutes. 4. Then switch it off and on again. 5. If the fault still persists, return the instrument for servicing.
