English term or phrase: zero offset
This is in a 3-Gas Monitor Manual. Following is some more context:
"Before calibrating the instrument, check all the alarm settings. There are five calibration adjustments. The function of these five control adjustments are: (1)Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) zero offset, (2)LEL span sensitivity, (3) Hydrogen sulfide span sensitivity, (4)Hydrogen Sulfide zero offset and (5) oxigen calibration."

Your help is greatly appreciated!

"Calibrado Cero" OR "Calibrado a Cero"
Explanation:
When you calibrate to zero offset, you are establishing that the device will have a zero reading in the presence of certain pre-established criteria.

The offset is a value (in this case zero) which is added to the device´s reading to make the output value match a physical reference. Typically this would be used to make a calibration device read zero when certain conditions are present.

So, Calibrado a Cero seems to be an answer to consider.

definition of Zero Offset and Span


Explanation:
From a site that includes the glossary ELA MEASUREMENT & CONTROL (INSTRUMENTS) DIRECTORY and the address where you´ll find the glossary is:

http://www.flw.com/define_a.htm

Zero Offset: The difference expressed in degrees between true zero and an indication given by a measuring instrument.

Span: The algebraic difference between the limits of the range from zero to full scale.

Maybe this will be of help
