A leak in the instrument or calibration system
dilutes the sample stream and causes low span
readings and noise.
Preform Ozone scrubber check (refer to
Section 6.4.4).
Adjust the span using the calibration procedure
(refer to Section 5.5).
Leak or blockages in tubes or valves. Perform leak
check and flow check and repair any
leaks/blockages.
Faulty calibration source
Check calibration system for the following:
Gas is plumbed correctly.
Is not contaminated.
Has no leaks and is an Ozone transfer standard
with current certification (ensure excess source
flow is generated).
Faulty optical bench assembly.
Instrument gain set too
low
Edit the instrument gain to 1.00 before preforming
transfer standard calibration.
Ensure zero air sources are not overly polluted.
Temperature/pressure
error
Replace main controller PCA.
Input Pot Limited to 0 or
255
Replace UV lamp, if that is unsuccessful replace
lamp driver PCA.
Perform leak test (refer to Section 6.4.3).
Preform Ozone scrubber check (refer to
Section 6.4.4).
