RSSI=82%, Optical RH=3%
Ambient P=101.8kPa, Tair=9.7C
Zero Air at 1850psi, AMP CA03923 3.3865 at 1750
CH4 Zero Offset: .002ppm
CH4 Span Offset: -.0225ppm
Notes: Breezy
6363 2023-08-08 Lab none Installed Gilbert Tract Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed at Gilbert Tract to replace sn TG1-0424 for calibration.
6356 2023-08-07 Lab Calibration Lab Calibration Location: Lab
Last calibration: 2023-01-18
RSSI=83%, Optical RH=28%
Ambient P=100.1kPa, Tair=27.2C
Zero Air at 900psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 900
CH4 Zero Offset: -.003ppm
CH4 Span Offset: -.0318ppm
Notes: After calibration, flushed optics headspace with zero air until optics RH=11%. Removed used silica desiccant and put in fresh drierite.
6352 2023-07-24 Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from Mayberry for calibration. Replaced by sn TG1-0211.
6170 2023-01-18 Mayberry Calibration Mayberry Calibration Location: Mayberry
Last calibration: 2022-06-07
RSSI=84%, Optical RH=15%
Ambient P=101.9kPa, Tair=9.9C
Zero Air at 1500psi, AMP CA04396 1.9317 at 1350
CH4 Zero Offset: .011ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .0093ppm
Notes: Did not flush headspace or change desiccant afterwards
6129 2022-12-13 Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Maintenance Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 The humidity reading was 31%. I swapped the desiccant bottle refilling it with silica gel desiccant. The humidity didn't change and hopefully will go down. Swap with regular dri-rite at calibration next time.
5914 2022-06-08 Lab none Installed Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Installed at MB after attaching a new fuse holder and fuse. This sensor was calibrated in the lab yesterday.
5888 2022-06-07 Lab none Calibration Lab none Calibration Location: Lab
Last calibration: 2021-12-03
RSSI=76%, Optical RH=29%
Ambient P=100.0kPa, Tair=21.7C
Zero Air at 625psi, AMP CA04119 4.2238 at 1600
CH4 Zero Offset: -.037ppm
CH4 Span Offset: .0392ppm
Notes: Before this calibration, I replaced fuse and fuse holder. I added some grease to the large o-ring around the base (Licor grease in the small plastic container) before reassembling everything. I followed Joe's advice to use longer helper screws help get the bottom to seat all the way in, and then replace those "helper" screws with the original screws with o-rings. During calibration for the span, I realized at 16:10 that the top heater had been on since 16:00. Probably the zero was calibrated while the heater was on. The span seemed stable from 16:12-16:18 and I don't think turning the heater off really affected it. I spanned the sensor at 16:18. After calibration, I pumped zero air into the headspace until optics RH=10%. I swapped out the old purple desiccant for a bottle of fresh blue desiccant. I added a bit of grease to the desiccant plug as well.
5880 2022-05-27 Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Removed Lab none Removed from Mayberry because water got inside and rotted out the fuse on the bottom of the can. Same as WP a few weeks ago.
5604 2021-12-01 Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Calibration Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Calibration Location: Mayberry
Last calibration: 2021-06-01
RSSI=85%, Optical RH=22%
Ambient P=101.8kPa, Tair=9.3C
Zero Air at 600psi, AMP CA04396 1.9317 at 1650
CH4 Zero Offset: 0.034ppm
CH4 Span Offset: -0.0157ppm
Notes: A lot of fog in the air so it was hard for RSSI to go >60 even when clean. The RSSI increased to 85 when we put the hood on. Relatively still day. After calibration, we dried down the sensor headspace with zero air until optics RH=10%. We swapped out the old drierite for fresh drierite.
5591 2021-11-23 Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Upgrade Mayberry Gas Analyzer CH4 Upgraded the firmware from v1.0.27 to v1.0.29. The sensor restarted succesfully and all seems well.

AMP FB03864 at 1200psi, AMP CA04119 4.223 at 2000
CH4 Zero Offset: -0.028ppm
CH4 Span Offset: -0.003ppm
Notes: Breezy day. Zero gas was an AMP cal gas in a baby tank that we borrowed for the day. After the calibration, we used the zero air to flush the headspace until optics RH = 10%. The drierite was purple, so we swapped in a new bottle with fresh drierite.
