Resolved
1840 An IGS shall be designed to ensure that if 02 content exceeds 5% by volume the IG shall be automatically vented to atmosphere. PSCO observed contradicting cal gas required for 0 calibration.Manual states 10% of full scale O2 in N2 mixture is recommended.Also pure N2 or other IG cannot be used for zero gas of this analyzer.(IG man AALBOG IND.
