Notes: During the H2O span, H2O value was trending downward after a while. I added more DI water to the reservoir, and the H2O value stabilized.

H2O span 1.0094 -> 1.0192 Offset: 0.22ppm
Notes: This is the first lab calibration since refurbishment and factory calibration at Licor. I entered the new coefficients by hand. The dew point generator was acting funky again. I added water and it seemed better. The offsets were relatively good for a unit freshly returned from the factory.
5551 2021-11-03 Factory none Returned Lab none Returned to the lab from revamp and calibration at Licor.

H2O zero 0.7337 -> 0.8187 Offset: 0ppm
H2O span 1.0078 -> 1.0094 Offset: 0ppm
Notes: Factory calibration at Licor after replacement of chopper, detector and source. Unknown ambient conditions and offsets. This sensor was sent to Licor because its signal was noisy. Its parts are almost 20 years old so I asked to have it renovated. Licor said, "Inspected the unit and found it in operational condition. Replaced the chopper motor, the detector and the light source. Subjected the unit to environmental tests and calibration." Should be nearly as good as new.
5552 2021-09-08 Lab none Shipped Factory none Shipped to Licor for renovation. The signal is noisy and I have asked for its chopper, detector and light source to be replaced as these parts are about 20 years old.

Zero Air at 1800psi, AMP CA04119 524.77 at 1700 Tdewspan=20.0

CO2 span 1.0071 -> 1.0075 Offset: -0.07ppm
H2O zero 0.7324 -> 0.7337 Offset: 10.1ppm
H2O span 1.0037 -> 1.0078 Offset: -0.12ppm
Notes: I loaded the config from the 03/15 calibration not the 06/01 config however this sensor was not used in the field between these calibrations because we are watching it due to noisy signals. Again the calibrations seem to be right on, but the noise around the set values is two the three times greater than our other IRGAs. I'm planning to send it in for retrofit.
5357 2021-06-28 Lab none Tested Lab none I ran zero and span gas through this IRGA again today. I didn't see the noisy signals I noticed during the last calibration. Calibrate it again before putting it back on a tower and keep an eye on it.

CO2 span 1.0077 -> 1.0071 Offset: 0.43ppm
H2O zero 0.7324 -> 0.7324 Offset: 2.2ppm
H2O span 1.0024 -> 1.0037 Offset: -0.03ppm
Notes: I started to calibrate this IRGA and I thought the signals looked noisy. At first I thought it might be a problem the the zero air flow rate and upped that a bit but no change. Then I calibrated sn 0418 and it seemed normal. I did a full calibration and while the numbers are pretty much right on all CO2, H2O zero and span were more noisy than usual. Don't deploy this one until some further checking is done.

Notes: First calibration since upgrade from 7500 to 7500A. Copied coefficients for CO2 (A, B, C, D, E, XS, Z) and H2O (A, B, C, XS, Z) from sn0073_20170118post.l75 before calibration. Took about 9-10 minutes for H2O to go down to 0, took about 1-2 minutes for CO2 to reach span, and took ~9 minutes for H2O to reach span. Set span T to 15.99 in software for a 16.00 Span Dew Point.
2824 2017-06-12 Lab none Upgrade Lab none Upgraded to 7500A with the 7500-600 LI-7500 Head Upgrade kit from Licor. I put in new bottom assembly and greased o-ring, screws and greased o-rings, and two chemical bottles. I also adjusted the potentiometer until the waveform displayed about 15,000 counts for the minimum and 55,000 counts for the maximum(Diagnostics icon > Waveform tab). I confirmed the Signal Strength coefficients (B = 1.6, C = 3.2) and reset the signal strength to 100% after cleaning the windows (Calibration icon > Signal Strength tab > Reset Signal Strength).
