3-4 CALIBRATION PROCEDURE

The CLD analyzer module may require periodic calibration with known zero and span gases in order to maintain a desire level of analytical accurancy. It is recom- mended, after initial startup, that the CLD Analyzer Module is calibrated at least once every eight hours.

This practice should continue until evidence indicates that some other interval is more appropriate depending on the analytical accurancy required.

Calibration is the process of flowing known zero or span calibration gas into the analyzer for a specified period (averaging time), after which the analyzer will automatically set its zero or span factors so that the concentration measurement equals the calibration gas value. A limit can be set, beyond which any attempt by the analyzer to reset its concentration measurement will cause a warning alarm. In this case, user intervention would be required to reset the alarm and attempt another calibra- tion.

If not yet done, put in the ozonator and zero gas concentrations that you supply to the analyzer. See gas cylinder certification for exact values.

NOTE

In case that only one measuring range is in use, we suggest to set all other measuring ranges to the same value to prevent calibration failure. When doing so, set also all test gas values to the same value.
