time. Therefore, it is necessary to dynamically check the calibration relationship on a
predetermined schedule. Zero and span checks must be used to document that the data
remains within control limits. These checks are also used in data reduction and validation.
Table 7-3 summarizes the initial quality assurance activities for calibrating equipment.
Table 7-2 is a matrix for the actual dynamic calibration procedure.
Calibrations should be carried out at the field monitoring site. The Analyzer should be in
operation for at least several hours (preferably overnight) before calibration so that it is
fully warmed up and its operation has stabilized. During the calibration, the T101 should
be in the CAL mode, and therefore sample the test atmosphere through all components
used during normal ambient sampling and through as much of the ambient air inlet
system as is practicable. If the Instrument will be used on more than one range (i.e. IND
or AUTO ranges), it should be calibrated separately on each applicable range. Calibration
documentation should be maintained with each analyzer and also in a central backup file.
