3. Calibrating the Analyzer
There are two steps to the calibration process after you turn
the unit on. If calibration is required, the unit will automatically
bring up the Calibration Window.
First, perform the clip calibration. Then perform the 1.0 lead
paint standard calibration check with the NIST (National
Institute of Standards Technology) SRM 2573.
The clip and lead paint standard come with every analyzer.
We recommend that after four hours of continuous use,
operators repeat those two steps.
Place the clip on the nose as shown.
Tap Calibrate on the screen to begin the process.
Calibration takes 15 seconds.
1 of 15 means the first second of the 15 seconds of the
calibration. It is doing an “energy scale calibration.”
