acceptable under MIL-STD-105D procedures, acceptable
quality level 1.0. The certificate of conformance must include the results of each test performed for the analyzer(s)
sampled during the month the analyzer being installed
was produced.
7. Performance Specification Verification Procedure
Test each CEMS that conforms to the design specifications (Section 5.1) using the following procedures to determine conformance with the specifications of Table 1-
1. These tests are to be performed using the data recording system to be employed during monitoring. Prior approval from the Administrator is required if different data
recording systems are used during the performance test
and monitoring.
7.1 Preliminary Adjustments and Tests. Before installing the system on the stack, perform these steps or tests
at the affected facility or in the manufacturer's laboratory.
7.1.1 Equipment Preparation. Set up and calibrate the
CEMS for the monitor path length to be used in the installation as specified by the manufacturer's written instructions. For this specification, the mounting distance
between the transmitter and receiver/reflector unit at the
source must be measured prior to performing the calibrations (do not use distances from engineering drawings). If
the CEMS has automatic path length adjustment, follow
the manufacturer's instructions to adjust the signal output
from the analyzer in order to yield results based on the
emission outlet path length. Set the instrument and data
recording system ranges so that maximum instrument output is within the span range specified in the applicable
subpart.
Align the instrument so that maximum system response
is obtained during a zero (or upscale) check performed
across the simulated monitor path length. As part of this
alignment. include rotating the reflector unit (detector unit
for single pass instruments) on its axis until the point of
maximum instrument response is obtained.
Follow the manufacturer's instructions to zero and span
the instrument. Perform the zero alignment adjustment by
balancing the response of the CEMS so that the simulated
zero check coincides with the actual zero check performed across the simulated monitor path length. At this
time. measure and record the indicated upscale calibration
value. The calibration value reading must be within the
required opacity range (Section 3.3).
7.1.2 Calibration Attenuator Selection. Based on the
span value specified in the applicable subpart, select a
minimum of three calibration attenuators (low, mid, and
high range) using Table 1-2.
If the system is operating with automatic path length
compensation, calculate the attenuator values required to
obtain a system response equivalent to the applicable values shown in Table 1-2; use Equation 1-1 for the conversion. A series of filters with nominal optical density
(opacity) values of 0.1(20). 0.2(37), 0.3(50), 0.4(60),
0.5(68). 0.6(75), 0.7(80), 0.8(84), 0.9(88), and 1.0(90) are
commercially available. Within this limitation of filter
availability. select the calibration attenuators having the
values given in Table 1-2 or having values closest to
those calculated by Equation 1-1.
