The Model 306 Ozone Calibration Source<\/strong> from 2B Technologies<\/strong> is a highly portable and precise ozone transfer standard<\/strong>, designed for the calibration of any ozone monitor or sensor<\/strong>. Whether used in the field or the lab, this device provides a reliable and NIST-traceable<\/strong> ozone reference, ensuring accuracy in ozone measurements across various applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Features and Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Precise and Adjustable Ozone Generation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Model 306<\/strong> produces ozone by scrubbing it from ambient air and generating a controlled ozone mixing ratio between 30 and 1,000 ppbv<\/strong>. The desired concentration can be selected through a rotary switch<\/strong> on the device\u2019s user-friendly menu or controlled remotely via the serial interface<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Independence from Environmental Factors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many ozone calibration sources, the Model 306<\/strong> maintains a stable ozone output independent of ambient temperature, pressure, and humidity<\/strong>. This ensures consistent calibration conditions regardless of environmental changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Connection to Ozone Monitors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The unit outputs 3.0 L\/min<\/strong> of volumetric flow, allowing for a direct connection to the inlet of any ozone monitor<\/strong>. Excess flow is vented through an internal ozone scrubber<\/strong>, preventing contamination and ensuring safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NIST-Traceable Calibration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Each Model 306 Ozone Calibration Source<\/strong> comes calibrated against a NIST-traceable ozone standard<\/strong>, providing confidence in its accuracy. Users can also modify calibration parameters if they maintain their own ozone reference standard<\/strong> in a lab setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Automated Calibration Scheduling<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With the built-in scheduler function<\/strong>, users can program up to 10 calibration steps<\/strong>, allowing for automated daily calibrations<\/strong>\u2014a crucial feature for maintaining accuracy in long-term monitoring applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compact and Rugged Design<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Housed in the same small, durable case<\/strong> as the Model 202 and Model 205 Ozone Monitors<\/strong>, the Model 306<\/strong> is built for portability and field use<\/strong> while maintaining laboratory-grade precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
