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 T100 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 in more than one range (i.e.
DUAL 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.
