Science Pump Corporation Model TSC-1 Ozonizer/Test Unit is still widely used for ozonesonde preparation but Vaisala recommends replacing it with Ozonizer / Test Unit KTU-3.

Ozonizer/Test Unit TSC-1
Vaisala recommends adding a digital ampere meter with a minimum resolution of 0.01 uA beside Ozonizer TSC-1, and checking the current from the digital ampere meter instead of the analog meter on TSC-1.

The Science Pump Corporation Model TSC-1 Ozonizer/Test Unit (or a similar equipment) is a necessary basic equipment for the preparations.

The TSC-1 Ozonizer/Test Unit model has been designed for conditioning ECC ozonesondes with the ozone, and for checking the radiosonde’s performance before balloon release.

The Ozonizer/Test Unit and its operation are described in more detail in the Science Pump Corporation Operator’s Manual Model 6A ECC Ozonesonde (SPC-6A Manual© SPC) and in the Science Pump Corporation Operator’s Manual Ozonizer/Test Unit Model TSC-1 (SPC TSC-1© SPC).

For background current measurement, the ampere meter resolution must be 0.01 μA. This is difficult to achieve with an analog ampere meter. The GAW Report 268 recommends using a digital model, for example, KTU-3 Ozonizer Test Unit.
