Calibration
of
the
sensor
with
CalDust
1100
After
lamp
exchange,
cleaning
of
the
cuvette
or
long
operation
periods,
the
sensor
must
be
re
‐
calibrated
with
regard
to
the
displayed
particle
size.
As
calibration
standard,
Palas
®
provides
with
the
delivery
the
monodisperse
calibration
dust
“CalDust
1100”.
How
to
calibrate:
First
set
the
number
of
intervals
per
decade
to
32.
Start
a
manual
measurement
of
particle
size
distribution
with
„CalDust
1100
“.
For
this
purpose,
a
flexible
tube
is
attached
with
a
fitting
to
the
aerosol
inlet
of
the
sensor.
By
shaking
of
and
knocking
at
the
supplied
container
“CalDust
1100”,
the
particles
inside
the
con
‐
tainer
are
brought
into
an
airborne
condition.
During
the
measurement,
hold
the
tube
into
the
container
with
“CalDust
1100”.
Now
the
particles
are
sucked
off
from
the
air
into
the
sensor.
This
display
is
shown
by
pressing
the
button
„calibration“.
This
view
is
shown
by
pressing
the
button
“calibration"
in
the
view
"size
range/sensors".
As
soon
as
you
start
a
calibration
the
operating
modus
of
the
device
switches
to
"calib".
After
a
calibration
you
should
change
the
modus
back
to
"auto",
"idle"
or
"manual".
The
status
of
the
device
is
also
recorded
by
the
data
‐
logger.
