Calibrations should be carried out at the field monitoring site. The Analyzer should be in
operation for at least several hours (preferably overnight) before calibration so that it is fully
warmed up and its operation has stabilized. During the calibration, the M200A 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, it should be calibrated separately on each
applicable range, see Section 7.9. Calibration documentation should be maintained with each
analyzer and also in a central backup file
