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

WARNING
NOTE
It is recommended that you store shipping containers/materials for future use if/when the instrument should be returned to the factory for repair and/or calibration service. See Warranty section in this manual and shipping procedures on our Website at:
http://www.teledyne-api.com under Customer Support > Return Authorization.
1. Verify that there is no apparent external shipping damage. If damage has occurred, please advise the shipper first, then Teledyne 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 (P/N 04596) 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.
Remove the set-screw located in the top, center of the Front panel.  Remove the 2 screws fastening the top cover to the unit (one per side towards the rear).  Slide the cover backwards until it clears the analyzer’s front bezel.
Lift the cover straight up.

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.
