Page 24: Nomenclature
Serinus® 10 User Manual 3.2 1.3 Nomenclature This is the abbreviation for Ozone. Span A gas sample of known composition and concentration used to calibrate/check the upper range of the instrument (Ozone). Zero Zero calibration uses zero air (Ozone scrubbed ambient air) to calibrate/check the lower range of the instrument.
Page 25: Background/Theory
1.4 Background/Theory Within the industrial sector, Ozone is not directly emitted to the atmosphere. Its formation is normally due to the reaction of sunlight with air containing hydrocarbons and nitrogen oxides. Ozone in the ambient air is also found to create other pollutants in the air, such as components of smog. Ground-level Ozone has become a global air pollution problem.

Page 120: Using Transfer Standards - Overview
Note: Zero calibrations are not recommended by Ecotech, but maybe be performed when specifically required by a user. Zero calibrations tend to mask issues that should be addressed during maintenance/service.
Page 121: Principle
5.2.1 Principle In ambient air monitoring applications, precise Ozone concentrations called standards are required for the calibration of Ozone analysers. Due to the instability of Ozone, concentrations must be generated and “verified” on site with another instrument referred to as a transfer standard. A transfer standard is defined as a transportable device or apparatus which is capable of accurately reproducing Ozone.
Page 122: Set-Up
Ozone Transfer Standard Level 3 and greater – At beginning and end of Ozone season or every 6 months whichever is less. Ecotech is able to offer a Level 2 and lower Ozone calibration service. Note: Transfer standards must meet the requirements and specifications set forth by the user’s local regulatory authority.
Page 123: Pressure Calibration
Consideration should be given to locating the calibration photometer in a clean laboratory where it can be stationary, protected from physical shock, operated by a responsible analyst and used as a common standard for all field calibrations via transfer standards. Note: It is the user’s responsibility to verify the appropriate transfer standard is chosen and maintained in accordance with local standards.

Page 125: Pressure Calibration (Ambient Only)
5.3.2 Pressure Calibration (Ambient Only) Full pressure calibrations are generally recommended, however it is possible to calibrate only the ambient point in cases where only a minor ambient pressure adjustment is required. Note: Ensure that the instrument has been running for at least one hour before any calibration is performed to ensure the instrument’s stability.
Page 126: Pressure Calibration (Internal Pump Option Only)
Serinus® 10 User Manual 3.2 5.3.3 Pressure Calibration (Internal Pump Option Only) The internal pump requires a separate pressure calibration procedure that replaces the one used in Section 5.3.1 and 5.3.2. Note: Ensure that the instrument has been running for at least one hour before any calibration is performed to ensure sufficient stability.
Page 127: Zero Calibration
A large offset may indicate a problem with the instrument (refer to Section 7).

Page 130: Span Calibration
5.5 Span Calibration A span calibration is a calibration performed at the upper end of the instrument’s measurement range. Ecotech recommends calibration at 80% of the full scale measurement or operating range of the instrument. While the instrument range is commonly set as a default 0 - 500 ppb, this is widely recognised as no longer being valid with modern digital communication and most regulators will now recommend a range more suited to local conditions.
