3. Check the system's zero-point (see instruction manual of the converter). 4. Document your settings using the form (see instruction manual of the con- verter). 5. Check measuring results with regard to plausibility. 6. If settings and measuring results are correct, enable measuring. - 32 - optek-Manual--1004-2003-02--AF45-US-2011-01-04 www.optek.com...
Always document the zero value before and after the zeroing! If it is not possible to set the zero point, check the process medium, measuring segment, windows, lamp module, wiring as well as the serial numbers and repeat the procedure. - 33 - optek-Manual--1004-2003-02--AF45-US-2011-01-04 www.optek.com...

The measured value coincides with the admissible value within the tolerance. There is no indication of a sensor or converter malfunction. If the measuring results are too high, the validation filter is dirty or the filter holder is not installed correctly! - 35 - optek-Manual--1004-2003-02--AF45-US-2011-01-04 www.optek.com...
(filter protector). The expected measuring result (validation value) for the required measuring wavelength is assigned to these reference filters at optek. It slightly differs from the measuring result of the merely spectral absorption due to differences in the beam path.
Carefully remove surface particles using a compressed air rubber ball or a small soft cleaning brush that does not scratch the optical surface. • Remove absorbing surface soiling using a non-polar solvent (e.g. hexane) that is non-alkaline and free of surface-active agents. - 37 - optek-Manual--1004-2003-02--AF45-US-2011-01-04 www.optek.com...
