14.1. MANUAL CALIBRATION CHECK
PROCEDURE
1) Perform the following steps in a clean and draft-free place, with all instruments placed
on a stable base.
2) Remove the perforated lid.
Place a MAS-100 Family Calibration Disk or a Petri dish inside the sampling head.
3) Check the lower edge of the perforated lid visually
to ensure that there are no notches or unevenness.
This could lead to a leak between the perforated lid
and the base.
Damaged perforated lids must be replaced.
4) Remount the perforated lid.
5) Place the anemometer on the perforated lid of the air sampler.
6) Start the anemometer by pressing the ON/OFF
button.
Press the Units button.
The anemometer is in volume flow mode, showing
L/min on the display.
7) Start up the air sampler by pressing the YES button.
8) Ensure that the Delay function is deactivated.
9) Start a sampling.
10) Anemometer reading:
– Allow the anemometer 40 seconds to settle prior taking readings.
– Take 3 consecutive readings from the anemometer.
– Note these 3 flow values: F
1
, F
2
, F
3
.
– Calculate the mean flow value: F
m
= (F
1
+ F
2
+ F
3
)/3
11) The calibration is passed if F
m
is inside the range of 100 L/min ±4.0 % (96.0 - 104.0).
The air sampler must be re-adjusted according chapter 14.2 if the calibration result is
outside the specified range.
12) Remove the MAS-100 Family Calibration Disk or the Petri dish.
13) End of process.
