WARRANTY
1. LIMITED WARRANTY: Subject to the limitations contained in Section 2 herein and except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, Rosemount Analytical and Daniel Measurement and Control, Inc., (collectively
“Seller”) warrants that the firmware will execute the programming instructions provided by Seller, and that
the Goods manufactured or Services provided by Seller will be free from defects in materials or
workmanship under normal use and care until the expiration of the applicable warranty period. Goods are
warranted for twelve (12) months from the date of initial installation or eighteen (18) months from the
date of shipment by Seller, whichever period expires first. Consumables and Services are warranted for a
period of 90 days from the date of shipment or completion of the Services. Products purchased by Seller
from a third party for resale to Buyer (“Resale Products”) shall carry only the warranty extended by the
original manufacturer. Buyer agrees that Seller has no liability for Resale Products beyond making a
reasonable commercial effort to arrange for procurement and shipping of the Resale Products. If Buyer
discovers any warranty defects and notifies Seller thereof in writing during the applicable warranty period,
Seller shall, at its option, promptly correct any errors that are found by Seller in the firmware or Services, or
repair or replace F.O.B. point of manufacture that portion of the Goods or firmware found by Seller to be
defective, or refund the purchase price of the defective portion of the Goods/Services. All replacements or
repairs necessitated by inadequate maintenance, normal wear and usage, unsuitable power sources,
unsuitable environmental conditions, accident, misuse, improper installation, modification, repair, storage
or handling, or any other cause not the fault of Seller are not covered by this limited warranty, and shall be
at Buyer's expense. Seller shall not be obligated to pay any costs or charges incurred by Buyer or any other
party except as may be agreed upon in writing in advance by an authorized Seller representative. All costs
of dismantling, reinstallation and freight and the time and expenses of Seller's personnel for site travel and
diagnosis under this warranty clause shall be borne by Buyer unless accepted in writing by Seller. Goods
repaired and parts replaced during the warranty period shall be in warranty for the remainder of the
original warranty period or ninety (90) days, whichever is longer. This limited warranty is the only warranty
made by Seller and can be amended only in a writing signed by an authorized representative of Seller.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement, THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, OR ANY OTHER MATTER WITH RESPECT TO ANY OF THE GOODS OR SERVICES. It is understood

Section 1: Introduction
This section describes the contents and purpose of the Model 700 Gas
Chromatograph System Reference Manual, a description of the Model 700
system, an explanation of the theory of operation, and a glossary of
chromatograph terminology.
Use this section to get acquainted with the basic engineering of the
Model 700 product.
1.1 Description of manual
The Model 700 Gas Chromatograph System Reference Manual (P/N 39000-521) consists of installation, operations, and maintenance and
troubleshooting procedures. Also included is information about the
Software Name software interface.
1.2 System description
The Model 700 is a high-speed gas chromatograph (GC) system that is
engineered to meet specific field application requirements based on
typical natural gas stream composition and anticipated concentration of
the selected components. In its standard configuration, the Model 700
can handle up to four streams: typically, three for sample and one for
calibration.
The Model 700 system consists of three major parts: the analyzer
assembly, controller assembly, and sample conditioning system (SCS).
Model 700 subsystems are: a Flame Ionization Detector (Micro-FID), a
Liquid Sample Injector (LSIV) and a Methanator.

The controller assembly (lower enclosure) includes electronics and ports
for signal processing, instrument control, data storage, personal
computer (PC) interface, and telecommunications. This assembly allows
the user to control the GC functions via a PC with MON2000 (see
Section 1.4).

WARNING
3-9000-521 APRIL 2012
The GC-PC interface provides the user with the greatest capability, easeof-use, and flexibility. One PC running MON2000 can connect with up to
32 chromatographs (via RS-485 serial communications links). MON2000
is used to edit applications, monitor operations, calibrate streams, and
display analysis chromatograms and reports, which can then be stored
to files on the PC hard drive or printed from either the PC printer port or
the GC printer port.
1.2.3 Sample conditioning system (SCS)
The sample conditioning system is located between the process stream
and the Analyzer Assembly sample inlet (mounted on the lower portion
of the Analyzer Assembly stand). The standard configuration includes a
Stream Switching System and filters.
The Model 700 electronics and hardware are housed in two explosionproof enclosures and meet IEC Class I, Zone 1, Ex d IIB+H
1, Division 1, Groups B, C, and D) approval for use in a hazardous
environment.

1.3 Functional description
A sample of the gas to be analyzed is taken from the process stream by a
sample probe installed in the process line. The sample passes through a
sample line to the SCS where it is filtered or otherwise conditioned. After
conditioning, the sample flows to the Analyzer Assembly for separation
and detection of the gas components.
Do not use a PC or a printer in a hazardous area. Serial port and Modbus
communications links are provided to connect the unit to the PC and to connect to
other computers and printers in a safe area. Failure to follow this warning may result in
injury or death to personnel or cause damage to the equipment.
The chromatographic separation of the sample gas into its components
is accomplished in the following manner. A precise volume of sample gas
is injected into one of the analytical columns. The column contains a
stationary phase (packing) that is either an active solid or an inert solid
1 - 8
Model 700 Gas Chromatograph System Reference Manual
APRIL 2012 3-9000-521
support that is coated with a liquid phase (absorption partitioning). The
sample gas is moved through the column by means of a mobile phase
(carrier gas). The selective retardation of the components takes place in
the column, causing each component to move through the column at a
different rate. This separates the sample into its constituent gases and
vapors.
A detector located at the outlet of the analytical column senses the
elution of components from the column and produces electrical outputs
proportional to the concentration of each component. Outputs from the
detector(s) are amplified in the Analyzer Assembly electronics, then
transmitted to the Controller Assembly for further processing.
Note
For additional information, see "Section 1.5: Theory of operation".
Output from the Controller Assembly is normally displayed on a
remotely located PC or a printer. Connection between the Controller
Assembly and the PC can be accomplished via a direct serial line or via a
Modbus-compatible communication interface.
Several chromatograms may be displayed via MON2000, with separate
color schemes, allowing the user to compare present and past data.
Use of the MON2000 software for configuration and troubleshooting
procedures is essential in most cases. The PC may be remotely
connected via telephone, radio or satellite communications. Once
installed and configured, the Model 700 can operate independently for
long periods of time.

1.4 Software description
The MON2000 uses three distinct types of software. This enables total
flexibility in defining the calculation sequence, printed report content,
format, type and amount of data for viewing, control and/or
transmission to another computer or Controller Assembly. The three
types are:
• Baseline Operating System (BOS)
• Application configuration software
• Maintenance and Operations software (MON2000 version 2.2 or
later)
The BOS and the Application configuration software are installed when
the Model 700 system is shipped. The application configuration is
tailored to the customer’s process and shipped on a floppy disk. Note
that the hardware and software are tested together as a unit before the
equipment leaves the factory. MON2000 communicates with the Model
700 system and allows an initial site system setup (i.e., operational
parameters, application modifications, and maintenance).
