EPA Protocol Calibration 
Teledyne API - T100 UV Fluorescence SO2 Analyzer  
212 
Calibrations should be carried out at the field monitoring site. The Analyzer should be in 
operation for at least several hours (preferably overnight) before calibration so that it is 
fully warmed up and its operation has stabilized. During the calibration, the T100 should 
be in the CAL mode, and therefore sample the test atmosphere through all components 
used during normal ambient sampling and through as much of the ambient air inlet 
system as is practicable. If the instrument will be used in more than one range (i.e. 
DUAL OR  AUTO ranges), it should be calibrated separately on each applicable range. 
Calibration documentation should be maintained with each analyzer and also in a central 
backup file.
