Factory Custom General description Due to the linear output of the Ion Science PID detector , PhoCheck+ instruments only require a two-point calibration. The PhoCheck+ scales its linear output across a ZERO level (clean air reference) and the SPAN (a user defined gas concentration). - Page 17 PhoCheck+ 1000, 2000, 3000 & 5000 Ex Ion Science Ltd Instrument Menu _____ Calibration (continued) Custom calibration For increased accuracy you can perform a Custom Calibration. You will need a cylinder of calibration gas and a regulator. 100ppm Isobutylene calibration gas at a flow rate above 250ml/min. PhoCheck+ allows you to custom calibrate using any gas from the Gas Table and any concentration from 10ppm.
