a) All equipment utilized for on-road remote sensing emission measurement shall be maintained and calibrated according to the manufacturer's specifications.
b) The accuracy of the Infrared SDM shall be verified by measuring the concentration of tri-blend (CO2, HC, CO) calibration gas released from a specially modified vehicle. A two point gas calibration procedure shall be followed. The span shall be accomplished at the following pair of span points:
300 - ppm propane (HC)
1.0 - percent CO
6.0 - percent CO2
1200 - ppm propane (HC)
