SAFETY MESSAGES
Your safety and the safety of others is very important. We have provided many important safety messages in this manual. Please read these messages carefully.
A safety message alerts you to potential hazards that could hurt you or others. Each safety message is associated with a safety alert symbol. These symbols are found in the manual and inside the instrument. The definition of these symbols is described below:
GENERAL SAFETY HAZARD: Refer to the instructions for details on the specific hazard.
CAUTION: Hot Surface Warning
CAUTION: Electrical Shock Hazard
TECHNICIAN SYMBOL: All operations marked with this symbol are to be performed by qualified maintenance personnel only.
CAUTION
The analyzer should only be used for the purpose and in the manner described in this
manual. If you use the analyzer in a manner other than that for which it was intended,
unpredictable behavior could ensue with possible hazardous consequences.

1. Verify that there is no apparent external shipping damage. If damage has occurred, please
advise the shipper first, then Teledyne Analytical Instruments.
2. Included with your analyzer is a printed record of the final performance characterization
performed on your instrument at the factory. This record, titled Final Test and Validation Data Sheet (part number 04307) is an important quality assurance and calibration record for this instrument. It should be placed in the quality records file for this instrument.
3. Carefully remove the top cover of the analyzer and check for internal shipping damage.
Model GFC7000E.
• Remove the set screw located in the top, center of the rear panel.
• Remove the four screws fastening the top cover to the unit (two per side).
• Lift the cover straight up. Do not slide backwards.
NOTE
Some versions of the GFC7000E CO2 Analyzer may have a spring loaded fastener at the
top center of the rear panel and as many as eight screws (four per side) fastening the
top cover to the chassis.
NOTE
Static sensitive parts are present on PCA (Printed Circuit Assemblies). Before touching
PCAs, touch a bare metal part of the chassis to discharge any electrostatic potentials or
connect a grounding strap to your wrist.
CAUTION
Never disconnect PCAs, wiring harnesses or electronic subassemblies
4. Inspect the interior of the instrument to make sure all circuit boards and other components
are in good shape and properly seated.

5. Check the connectors of the various internal wiring harnesses and pneumatic hoses to make
sure they are firmly and properly seated.
6. Verify that all of the optional hardware ordered with the unit has been installed. These are
listed on the paperwork accompanying the analyzer.
7. Once you have determined that no shipping damage exists, and the unit includes all expected
hardware options, remove all red colored shipping screws from the bottom of the chassis as shown in Figure 3-1.

NOTE
Most PLC’s have internal provisions for limiting the current that the input will draw from
an external device. When connecting to a unit that does not have this feature, an
external dropping resistor must be used to limit the current through the transistor
output to less than 50mA. At 50mA, the transistor will drop approximately 1.2V from its
collector to emitter.

The Analyzer is placed in Zero Calibration mode. The mode field of the display will read ZERO CAL R.
The Analyzer is placed in Span Calibration mode. The mode field of the display will read SPAN CAL R.
Input pin for +5 VDC required to activate pins A – F. This can be from an external source or from the “+” pin of the instruments STATUS connector.
Internal source of +5V which can be used to actuate control inputs when connected to the U pin.
On Condition
12. If you wish to utilize either of the analyzer’s two serial interface COMM ports, refer to Section
6.10 of this manual for instructions on their configuration and usage.
13. If your unit has a Teledyne Instruments Ethernet card (Option 63), plug one end into the 7’
CAT5 cable supplied with the option into the appropriate place on the back of the analyzer (see Figure 5-4 in Section 5.5.3) and the other end into any nearby Ethernet access port.
3.1.2. Pneumatic Connections:
3.1.2.1. Basic Pneumatic Connections
Figures 3-3 and 3-4 illustrate the most common configurations for gas supply and exhaust lines to the Model GFC7000E Analyzer. Figure 3-13 illustrates the internal gas flow of the instrument in its basic configuration.
Please refer to Figure 3-2 for pneumatic connections at the rear panel and Table 3-4 for nomenclature.
NOTE
Sample and calibration gases should only come into contact with PTFE (Teflon), FEP,
glass, stainless steel or brass. CAUTION

CAUTION
In order to prevent dust from getting into the gas flow channels of your analyzer, it was
shipped with small plugs inserted into each of the pneumatic fittings on the back panel.
Make sure that all of these dust plugs are removed before attaching
exhaust and supply gas lines.

Calibration gasses are also inlet here on units without zero/span/shutoff valve or IZS options installed.
EXHAUST Connect an exhaust gas line of not more than 10 meters long here.
PRESSURE SPAN
On units with zero/span/shutoff valve options installed, connect a gas line to the source of calibrated span gas here.

Internal zero air scrubber.
IZS
on units with zero/span/shutoff valve options installed but NO internal zero air scrubber, attach a gas line to the source of zero air here.
This inlet supplies purge air to the GFC wheel housing (see section
PURGE IN

1. Attach a sample inlet line to the sample inlet port. The SAMPLE input line should not be more
than 2 meters long.
NOTE
Ideally, the pressure of the sample gas should be at ambient pressure (0
psig). Maximum pressure of sample gas should not exceed 1.5 in-Hg over
ambient.
In applications where the sample gas is received from a pressurized
manifold, a vent must be placed as shown to equalize the sample gas with
ambient atmospheric pressure before it enters the analyzer.
This vent line must be:
• At least 0.2m long
• No more than 2m long and vented outside the shelter or immediate
area surrounding the instrument.

2. Attach sources of zero air and span gas (see Figures 3-3 through 3-8 inclusive).
• Span Gas is a gas specifically mixed to match the chemical composition of the type of gas
being measured at near full scale of the desired measurement range.
In the case of CO GFC7000E Analyzer it is recommended that you use a gas calibrated to have a CO
measurements made with the Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model

content
2
equaling 80% of the range of compositions being measured.
EXAMPLE: If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 500 ppm, an appropriate Span Gas would be 400 ppm. If the application is to measure between 0 ppm and 100 ppm, an appropriate Span Gas would be 80 ppm.
• Span Gas can be purchased in pressurized canisters or created using Dynamic Dilution
Calibrator such as the Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 700 and a source of dried air scrubbed of CO
such as a Teledyne Analytical Instruments Model 701 Zero Air
2
Generator in combination with a canister of indicating soda-lime.
• Zero Air
is similar in chemical composition to the earths atmosphere but scrubbed of all
components that might affect the analyzer’s readings.
In the case of CO
measurements this means CO2 less than 0.1 ppm of CO2 and Water
2
Vapor. Zero Air can be purchased in pressurized canisters or created using a Teledyne Instruments Model 701 Zero Air Generator in combination with a canister of indicating soda-lime.
3. Attach an exhaust line to the exhaust outlet port.
• The exhaust from the pump and vent lines should be vented to atmospheric pressure using
maximum of 10 meters of ¼” PTEF tubing.
CAUTION
Venting should be outside the shelter or immedi ate area surrounding the
instrument.
4. Attach a source of dried air scrubbed of CO
to the purge inlet port
2
NOTE
The source of purge air should be at 20-25 psig and capable of maintaining a flow of at
least 0.5 liters/min.
Purge source air pressure should not exceed 35 pisg
5. Once the appropriate pneumatic connections have been made, check all pneumatic fittings for
leaks using a procedure similar to that defined in Section 9.3.3.
