This function calibrates the O
3
Generator that comes with the IZS option, by setting the
IZS O

Generator output to a series of levels between zero and full scale, and matching
each level to a drive voltage from the generator lamp. This calibration is typically
performed when the O3 Generator lamp requires adjustment or replacement (Section

. Pay strict attention to the built-in warning
features, periodic inspection, regular zero/span checks, regular test parameter evaluation
for predictive diagnostics and data analysis, and routine maintenance. Any instrument(s)
supplying the zero air and span calibration gasses used must themselves be calibrated and
that calibration must be traceable to an EPA/NIST primary standard.
Comply with Code of Federal Regulations, Title 40 (downloadable from the U.S.
