2.0 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

Calibration of the M201A is done by first calibrating the TN and TNx channels with NO span gas diluted with zero air. In the second phase of calibration, ammonia span gas is introduced to measure the overall system efficiency for NH3 conversion. Unlike NOx analysis, the NH3 converter efficiency must be measured because it is considerably lower than 100% and may change as the converter ages.

If the instrument is configured as a basic model, all zero/span gasses are introduced through the sample port. If the Zero/Span valves option or the ECO option is ordered, the zero/span gas is introduced through the zero/span valves. There are several ways of automating the calibration or span check process, they are covered in Section 7 of the M200A manual. After reviewing the procedure described below, it should be simple to adapt the procedures in Section 7 to the M201A, if necessary.

2.1 Zero/Span Calibration – Basic Instrument

Since the zero gas concentration is defined as 0 ppb, it is not necessary to enter the expected zero value.
