6.3. CALIBRATING GAS PRESSURE SENSORS
The T703 Calibrator has two sensors that monitor the pressure of the gases flowing
through the instrument: a Regulator pressure sensor and a Photometer Sample Gas
pressure sensor. The T703U also has those two sensors plus one more: an O
3
Generator
Regulator pressure sensor. The data collected by these sensors are used to compensate
the final concentration calculations for changes in atmospheric pressure and are stored in
the CPU’s memory as test functions:

6.3.1. GAS PRESSURE SENSOR CALIBRATION SET UP
The procedures described in this section require an independent, calibrated pressure
meter/monitor to be attached at the location shown in Figure 6-3 for T703, or at the
locations shown in Figure 6-4 for T703U.
