sufficient for informal calibration checks, it is not adequate for formal calibrations and is
not approved for use by the US EPA as a calibration source.
Therefore, for formal calibrations of an instrument with an IZS option installed the
following provisions must be followed.
•
Zero air and span gas must be supplied to the analyzer through the sample gas inlet
as depicted in Figure 9-1 of Section 9.2.
•
The calibration procedure must be initiated using the CAL button, not the CALZ or
CALS buttons, using the procedure defined in Section 9.2.
•
Using the CAL button does not activate the zero/span or sample/cal valves of the
IZS option, thus allowing the introduction of zero air and sample gas through the
sample port from more accurate, external sources such as a calibrated bottle of SO
or a Model T700 Dilution Calibrator.

Zero and span checks using the zero/span valve or IZS option are similar to that
described in Section 9.3, with the following exceptions:
•
On units with an IZS option installed, zero air and span gas are supplied to the
analyzer through the zero gas inlet and from ambient air.
•
On units with a zero/span valve option installed, zero air and span gas are supplied
to the analyzer through the zero gas and span gas inlets from two different sources.
•
The zero and calibration operations are initiated directly and independently with
dedicated buttons CALZ and CALS.
