Warranty
This equipment is sold subject to the mutual agreement that it is warranted by us free from defects of material
and of construction, and that our liability shall be limited to replacing or repairing at our factory (without
charge, except for transportation), or at customer plant at our option, any material or construction in which
defects become apparent within one year from the date of shipment, except in cases where quotations or
acknowledgements provide for a shorter period. Components manufactured by others bear the warranty of their
manufacturer. This warranty does not cover defects caused by wear, accident, misuse, neglect or repairs other
than those performed by Teledyne or an authorized service center. We assume no liability for direct or indirect
damages of any kind and the purchaser by the acceptance of the equipment will assume all liability for any
damage which may result from its use or misuse.
We reserve the right to employ any suitable material in the manufacture of our apparatus, and to make any
alterations in the dimensions, shape or weight of any parts, in so far as such alterations do not adversely affect
our warranty.
Important Notice
This instrument provides measurement readings to its user, and serves as a tool by which valuable data can be
gathered. The information provided by the instrument may assist the user in eliminating potential hazards caused
by his process; however, it is essential that all personnel involved in the use of the instrume nt o r its int e rfac e be
properly trained in the process being measured, as well as all instrumentation related to it.
The safety of personnel is ultimately the responsibility of those who control process conditions. While this
instrument may be able to provide early warning of imminent danger, it has no control over process conditions,
and it can be misused. In particular, any alarm or control systems installed must be tested and understood, both
as to how they operate and as to how they can be defeated. Any safeguards required such as locks, labels, or
redundancy, must be provided by the user or specifically requested of Teledyne at the time the order is placed.
Therefore, the purchaser must be aware of the hazardous process conditions. The purchaser is responsible for
the training of personnel, for providing hazard warning methods and instrumentation per the appropriate
standards, and for ensuring that hazard warning devices and instrumentation are maintained and operated
properly.
Teledyne Analytical Instruments, the manufacturer of this instrument, cannot accept responsibility for
conditions beyond its knowledge and control. No statement expressed or implied by this document or any
information disseminated by the manufacturer or its agents, is to be construed as a warranty of adequate safety
control under the user’s process conditions.

Introduction Model GFC7000TA Carbon Dioxide Analyzer
1. INTRODUCTION
The Models GFC 7000TA and GFC 7000TM differ only in specifications; unless clearly differentiated,
both models in this manual are referred to as the GFC 7000TA for simplification. The GFC 7000TA
measures carbon dioxide CO
reference according to the Beer-Lambert law. This is accomplished by using a Gas Filter Wheel which
alternately allows a high energy infrared light source to pass through a CO
with no CO
The light then travels through the sample cell, which has a folded path. The energy loss through the
sample cell is compared with the zero reference signal provided by the gas filter to produce an output
proportional to concentration, with little effect from interfering gases within the sample. A nitrogen purge
system is provided for the GFC wheel assembly to eliminate the effects of ambient CO
This design produces superior zero and span stability and a high signal-to-noise ratio, allowing excellent
sensitivity. Multi-tasking software gives real time indication of numerous operating parameters and
provides automatic alarms if diagnostic limits are exceeded
present.

CAUTION – Avoid Warranty Invalidation
Printed circuit assemblies (PCAs) are sensitive to electro-static discharges too
small to be felt by the human nervous system. Damage resulting from failure to
use ESD protection when working with electronic assemblies will void the
instrument warranty.

Figure 3-2: Display Screen and Touch Control
CAUTION – Avoid Damaging Touchscreen
Do not use hard-surfaced instruments such as pens to operate the touchscr een.
The front panel liquid crystal display includes touch control. Upon analyzer start-up, the display shows a
splash screen and other initialization indicators before the main display appears, similar to Figure 3-2
above (may or may not display a Fault alarm). The LEDs on the display screen indicate the Sample,
Calibration and Fault states; also on the screen is the gas concentration field (Conc), which displays realtime readouts for the primary gas and for the secondary gas if installed. The display screen also shows
which mode the analyzer is currently in (Mode field), as well as messages and data (Param field). Along
the bottom of the screen is a row of touch control buttons; only those that are currently applicable will
have a label. Table 3-1 provides detailed information for each component of the screen.
