Checking the Calibration Span
Introduction The Span Reference Insert Part Number CS-105 is a light scattering device
that provides a constant value (termed a “k” factor).
The Span Reference should be used as a reference to check factory calibration
of the EPAM-5000 Monitor.
When to check
the calibration
span The calibration span should be checked under the following conditions:
• Once a month with normal usage. (Normal use is twice a week).
• If the EPAM-5000 is dropped or otherwise damaged.
• The first time you use the unit to double check the factory calibration.
Note: The EPAM-5000 can be sent to SKC. Annually recalibration
recommended in accordance with ISO and NIST procedures.
Conditions The following conditions must be met before checking the calibration span.
