EPA Protocol Calibration
fully warmed up and its operation has stabilized. During the calibration, the M100E should
be in the CAL mode, and therefore sample the test atmosphere through all components
used during normal ambient sampling and through as much of the ambient air inlet
system as is practicable. If the Instrument will be used on more than one range (i.e.
DUAL or AUTO ranges), it should be calibrated separately on each applicable range.
Calibration documentation should be maintained with each analyzer and also in a central
backup file.
