Last calibration: 2024-01-11
RSSI=71%, Optical RH=7%
Ambient P=100.9kPa, Tair=32.2C
Zero Air at 1650psi, AMP CA03923 3.3865 at 1850
CH4 Zero Offset: .023ppm

Last calibration: 2023-07-20
RSSI=71%, Optical RH=3%
Ambient P=102.1kPa, Tair=11.5C
Zero Air at 1850psi, AMP CA03923 3.3865 at 1700
CH4 Zero Offset: .032ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .0095ppm
Notes: Breezy day
6353 2023-07-24 Lab none Installed Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed at Mayberry to replace sn TG1-0223 for calibration.
6340 2023-07-20 Lab Calibration Lab Calibration Location: Lab
Last calibration: 2023-06-15
RSSI=73.4%, Optical RH=24%
Ambient P=100.4kPa, Tair=23.4C
Zero Air at 975psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 925
CH4 Zero Offset: -.014ppm
CH4 Span Offset: -.0048ppm
Notes: Could only connect after laptop restart. After calibration, flushed headspace with zero air until optics RH=9-10% and swapped headspace desiccant.
6327 2023-07-11 Hill Slough Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from Hill Slough for calibration. Replaced by sn TG1-0421.
6306 2023-06-15 Hill Slough Calibration Hill Slough Calibration Location: Hill Slough
Last calibration: 2022-11-30
RSSI=73%, Optical RH=23%
Ambient P=100.9kPa, Tair=17.0C
Zero Air at 1200psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 1000
CH4 Zero Offset: -.003ppm
CH4 Span Offset: n/a
Notes: Windy! Did not set the span because the sensor value would "stabilize" at different number that would vary by >0.25ppm. The "stable" value would change whenever a gust would blow through.
6099 2022-11-30 Hill Slough Calibration Hill Slough Calibration Location: Hill Slough
Last calibration: 2022-06-08
RSSI=71%, Optical RH=26%
Ambient P=101.4kPa, Tair=10.3C
Zero Air at 1650psi, AMP CA04396 1.9317 at 1100
CH4 Zero Offset: .005ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .0003ppm
Notes: After calibration we flushed headspace with zero air until optics RH = 8%. We swapped in fresh drierite. The current thermocouple assembly is missing an o-ring (has putty instead in the o-ring groove), so we swapped in a brand-new thermocouple assembly.
5898 2022-06-08 Hill Slough Calibration Hill Slough Calibration Location: Hill Slough
Last calibration: 2021-12-01
RSSI=73%, Optical RH=21%
