5.  If the value produced by the check command is more than 85% of 
the value recorded without the mask plates, the mechanical 
alignment is correct. If this is not the case, check the FS11 sensor 
and the calibrator for electronic or mechanical faults. Also consult 
your local Vaisala representative. 
6.  Disassemble the calibrator and store it into the supplied carrying 
case. 
7.  Replace the plastic protective plate onto the calibrator assembly 
seating surface on the measurement unit.

FSM102 Guided Calibration Procedure 
As an alternative to the calibration procedure described above, the 
calibration can be carried out interactively, guided by instructions by the 
FS11 software, as described below. 
The Guided Calibration Procedure  is a combination of three individual 
steps, and requires the FSA11 Calibration Kit. 
-  The first step verifies that the transmitter and receiver windows have 
been cleaned. 
-  During the second step the system Offset Signal is verified.  
-  In the third step the opaque glass plates are installed to the 
measurement unit to simulate a defined scatter signal in order to check 
or adapt the visibility calibration.
