4.
This section is organized into subsections as follows:
SECTION 4.1 – Important Precalibration Information
: contains important information you should know before calibrating the instrument.
SECTION 4.2 – Calibration Procedures: describes the procedure for manually checking
calibration and performing actual calibration of the instrument.
SECTION 4.3 – Automatic Zero/Span Cal/Check (Auto Cal): describes the procedure
for using the AutoCal feature to check calibration or to calibrate the instrument. (The
AutoCal feature requires that either the zero/span valve option or the internal span gas
generator option be installed and operating).
SECTION 4.4 – Calibration Quality Analysis: describes how to evaluate quality of each
calibration.
SECTION 4.5 – Conversion Efficiency (CE) C: provides information on monitoring and
calibrating the efficiency of the converter.
SECTION 4.6 – EPA Protocol Calibration: provides links to the US EPA website for
references regarding calibration with EPA protocols.

IMPORTANT PRECALIBRATION INFORMATION

ALIBRATION
The following equipment, supplies, and expendables are required for calibration:
• Zero-air source
Span gas source
•
Gas lines - all gas line materials should be stainless steel or Teflon-type (PTFE or
•
FEP).
High-concentration NO gas transported over long distances may require stainless
•
steel lines to avoid oxidation of NO due to the possibility of O
Optional equipment: A recording device such as a strip-chart recorder and/or data logger.
For electronic documentation, the internal data acquisition system (DAS) can be used by
configuring the Datalogger through the Setup>Data Logging menu; Section 2.5.1).
