PureAire Monitoring Systems, Inc. 5.4 System Calibration The Air Check Carbonyl Sulfide Monitor requires periodic calibration with the appropriate standard gas. Calibration should be performed whenever: • Six months has passed without calibration • NOTE: For higher accuracy more frequent dynamic gas calibration is required.
Page 38
PureAire Monitoring Systems, Inc. 5.4.2 Initial Preparation and span gas preperation 1. Connect the RMF regulator to the COS span gas cylinder. 2. Connect the Tedlar gas sample bag to the regulator. 3. Turn on the regulator and fill the span gas bag.
Page 39
4. After calibration, disconnect the span gas from the monitor and permit the digital display to return to zero. NOTE: The Air Check Carbonyl Sulfide monitor has an internal pyrolizer that converts the gas to bromine. Typical fall times can range from 1 to 4 minutes depending on the exposure concentration. The higher the concentration, the longer the fall time to zero.
