Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with PTFE (Teflon), FEP, glass or stainless steel materials. Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6 illustrate the most common configurations for gas supply and exhaust lines to the Model 9110E Analyzer. Appendix D contains more detailed pneumatic flow diagrams for the analyzer and its various (pneumatically related) options.
Page 28: Span Gas Defined
Getting Started Model 9110E Instruction Manual • Attach the 1/4" exhaust line to the exhaust port of the analyzer and to the inlet port of the pump. • Attach zero air and span gas supply lines as appropriate (Figure 3-5 and Figure 3-6) to the rear panel (Figure 3-3).
Page 29: Zero Gas Defined
Model 9110E Instruction Manual Getting Started For example, if the measurement is NO in ambient air between 0 and 500 ppb, an appropriate span gas would be NO in air at 400 ppb NO concentration (80% of maximum range). Even though NO gas in nitrogen could be used as a span gas, the matrix of the balance gas is different and may cause interference problems or yield incorrect calibrations.
