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.

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.

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.

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.
04584 Rev A1 17
Model GFC7000E Instruction Manual Getting Started
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

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.
