sampling and through as much of the ambient air inlet system as is practicable. If the Instrument
will be used on more than one range (i.e. IND 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.
