EPA Calibration Protocol

Model GFC7001E Carbon Dioxide Analyzer

5.If the instrument will be used on more than one range, it should be calibrated separately on each applicable range.

6.Calibration documentation should be maintained with each analyzer and also in a central backup file.

7.The true values of the calibration gases used must be traceable to NIST-SRMs See Table 3-7.

10.1.2.CALIBRATION EQUIPMENT, SUPPLIES, AND EXPENDABLES

The measurement of CO in ambient air requires a certain amount of basic sampling equipment and supplemental supplies. The Quality Assurance Handbook Section 2.6 contains information about setting up the appropriate systems.

10.1.2.1.Data Recording Device

Either a strip chart recorder, data acquisition system, digital data acquisition system should be used to record the data from the Mode; GFC 7001E RS-232 port or analog outputs. If analog readings are being used, the response of that system should be checked against a NIST referenced voltage source or meter. Data recording device should be capable of bi-polar operation so that negative readings can be recorded.

10.1.2.2.Spare Parts and Expendable Supplies

In addition to the basic equipment described in the Q.A. Handbook, it is necessary to maintain an inventory of spare parts and expendable supplies. Section Error! Reference source not found. describes the parts that require periodic replacement and the frequency of replacement. Appendix B of this Technical Manual contains a list of spare parts and kits of expendables supplies.
