Scroll to FTS Constant M and press
to display the FTS
Constant M screen. Enter the proper value for the constant and
press
.
5.
Press
to display the Cal Setup Flow menu.
6.
Repeat Step 4 for Constant B.
7.
Press
repeatedly to return to the Main Menu.
If the FTS was previously used to calibrate the Sampler and a direct
read device, such as the Streamline Pro, is to be used for calibration,
FTS Constants must be turned Off.
To turn FTS Constants Off, perform Steps 1 and 2 above. Press
repeatedly to return to the Main Menu.
Use the following procedure to perform a flow calibration.
1.
Prior to performing a Flow Calibration, perform the temperature and
pressure calibrations, and external leak test procedures described in this
chapter. The filter cassette used to perform the external leak test should
remain in the sample position for the flow calibration.
2.
Carefully remove the PM
10
inlet from the Sampler.
3.
Install the audit filter cassettes prepared as described earlier in this
section. The Partisol 2000
i
requires a single filter cassette. Carefully
insert the filter cassette carrier into the lower part of the filter exchange
mechanism. The carrier contains a slot and hole that fit into the
appropriate locations of the lower part of the filter exchange
mechanism. Push forward on the handle of the filter exchange
mechanism to raise the filter platform and enclose the filter cassette.
4.
Attach the Flow Calibration device to the sample tube. Other flow
meters may require the use of the flow audit adapter (54-004811),
which should be installed with its valve open. If using Streamline FTS
Flow Transfer Standard (57-04506- 0001), ensure that the m and b
constants are entered into the instrument and the Use FTS Constants is
set to Yes as described in the section on Flow Calibration Setup above.
