    CALIBRATION 5.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PS500 has been calibrated for particular gases. Where any doubt exists the product should be returned to GMI or an authorised distributor for calibration. Warning: The instrument must be calibrated and configured by authorised personnel only.

  • Page 66: Calibration Validity

    6 month period can be expected. This is no guarantee, however, as the precise application of the product is unknown to GMI. Individual codes of practice may dictate shorter periods. Regular checking establishes a pattern of reliability and enables the calibration check period to be modified in line with operational experience.

  • Page 71: Pid Sensors

    PID SENSORS A PID sensor measures volatile organic compounds (VOC’s) in the atmosphere by Photo Ionisation Detection. The PS500 instrument uses PID sensor technology to detect VOC’s. What is a Volatile Organic Compound (VOC)? A VOC, is a chemical compound that is significantly vaporised at ambient temperatures.

  • Page 72: Response Factors

    PID response of a particular VOC, to the PID response of a calibration gas. The calibration gas used on PS500 instruments is usually isobutylene. If the response of a PID to a particular VOC is eight times smaller than it is for the same concentration of isobutylene, then the response factor would be 8.
