3.6 Photometer Calibration
Model 401 is capable of accurately reproducing O
3
span gas. However, it should be
quantitatively verified by relating to a master standard such as certified Model 400 O
3
photometric analyzer. The calibration of Model 401 photometer can be verified by periodic
(recommended every 3 months) intercomparison between Model 401 photometer and a master
standard.
Photometer Zero Calibration
1.
Turn the power on for both Model 401 and Model 400 (as master standard) and allow them
to stabilize for minimum of one hour.
2.
Start to generate the zero gas by pressing "zero" button from the main menu and enter the
password (512). In case of using external dry zero air, verify proper IZS flow and pressure of
external air source. (See Figure 1-5 for pneumatic connections.)
