11: Instrument Calibration

11.1 General Information

Your instrument is set up for use with a dry gas alcohol vapour
standard. IF A WET VAPOUR STANDARD IS TO BE USED, THIS
CAN ONLY BE DONE AFTER CONTACTING
RETURNING THE INSTRUMENT TO LION'S FACTORY.
You may use any alcohol vapour standard in the range 0.20 to
0.40mg/L to calibrate the 500. The alcohol level in the standard does
NOT have to be at any other particular value - provided that its
actual value is known.

instrument MUST 'KNOW' which type of standard is to be used [Wet

attempting to calibrate an instrument for the first time.
