CAL-200
Dilution Calibrator
Version 1.0

Met One Instruments is now part of the Acoem Group. The Met One
range of gas analyzers was originally developed by Acoem under
the brand name Ecotech Serinus® Cal 1000, 2000 & 3000.
For the purposes of expediting the availability of Met One gas
analyzers to Met One customers around the world; Met One
Instruments have chosen to use the original Ecotech Serinus® Cal
1000, 2000 & 3000 operating manual.
Although the name of the Met One instrument is dierent, the
analyzer itself has remained unchanged and meets the strictest
quality and performance requirements expected of Met One
equipment. All the information presented in this manual is current,
including analyzer specications and operating principles.
Met One will update this manual to reflect the new branding
convention in due course.

1Introduction
1.1 Description
The Serinus Cal has been designed as a stand-alone dilution calibrator specifically for environmental
applications and should give many years of trouble free service provided that it is installed, used and
maintained correctly.
It can be used in conjunction with many different analysers measuring gases such as CO, CO2, O3, NOx,
NOy, NH3and SO2to provide precise and constant volumes of zero air or dilutions of various
calibration gases.
The Serinus Cal is used in conjunction with regulatory traceable gases, and zero air generators. The
Serinus Cal 2000 provides the additional feature of an ozone generator so that it can produce O3to
be used when performing a Gas Phase Titration (GPT). The Serinus Cal 3000 includes an ozone
generator as well as an ozone photometer for the accurate creation and delivery of ozone
concentrations for use when calibrating O3analysers.
This section will describe the specifications of the calibrator as well as the main components and
techniques used to provide stable gas concentrations.

1.3 Nomenclature
O3Ozone
Bootloader: A program that checks whether the current firmware is valid, then executes
the instrument start-up. The bootloader can be entered by pressing the ‘+’
key on the front keypad during the first ½ second after power on, and
following the prompts. The bootloader enables various low level recovery
tools, including updating the main firmware from a USB memory stick.
Diluent Diluent gas is a clean, unreactive gas used to dilute reactive samples via the
Diluent Port.
Source Gas Source gas or gas standard is the name given to the certified gas cylinder that
is connected to one of the source ports. To be mixed with diluent gas to
make a known span concentration.
Exhaust Air The exhaust port is where excessive calibration gases and ozone are
exhausted from the instrument.
ID and OD: These are measurements of tubing. ID is the internal diameter of tubing, OD
is the outer diameter.
Multidrop: A configuration of multiple calibrators and/or analysers connected via the
same RS232 cable.
Span: A gas sample of known composition and concentration used to
calibrate/check the upper range of an instrument.
