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 instrument or its interface 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.

IntroductionTeledyne API – Model T300/T300M CO Analyzer
1. INTRODUCTION, FEATURES AND OPTIONS
This section provides an overview of the Model GFC7001T or GFC7001TM Analyzer,
its features and its options, followed by a description of how this user manual is
arranged.
1.1. GFC7001T FAMILY OVERVIEW
The family includes the GFC7001T and the GFC7001TM Gas Filter Correlation Carbon
Monoxide Analyzer. The GFC7001T family of analyzers is a microprocessor-controlled
analyzer that determines the concentration of carbon monoxide (CO) in a sample gas
drawn through the instrument. It uses a method based on the Beer-Lambert law, an
empirical relationship that relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material
through which the light is traveling over a defined distance. In this case the light is
infrared radiation (IR) traveling through a sample chamber filled with gas bearing a
varying concentration of CO.
The GFC7001T/GFC7001TM uses Gas Filter Correlation (GFC) to overcome the
interfering effects of various other gases (such as water vapor) that also absorb IR. The
analyzer passes the IR beam through a spinning wheel made up of two separate
chambers: one containing a high concentration of CO known as the reference, and the
other containing a neutral gas known as the measure. The concentration of CO in the
sample chamber is computed by taking the ratio of the instantaneous measure and
reference values and then compensating the ratio for sample temperature and pressure.
The GFC7001T/GFC7001TM Analyzer’s multi-tasking software gives the ability to
track and report a large number of operational parameters in real time. These readings
are compared to diagnostic limits kept in the analyzers memory and should any fall
outside of those limits the analyzer issues automatic warnings.
Built-in data acquisition capability, using the analyzer's internal memory, allows the
logging of multiple parameters including averaged or instantaneous concentration
values, calibration data, and operating parameters such as pressure and flow rate. Stored
data are easily retrieved through the serial port or Ethernet port via our APICOM
software or from the front panel, allowing operators to perform predictive diagnostics
and enhanced data analysis by tracking parameter trends. Multiple averaging periods of
one minute to 365 days are available for over a period of one year.

CAUTION - GENERAL SAFETY HAZARD
A fully loaded GFC7001T with valve options weighs about
18 kg or 40 lbs. (GFC7001TM weighs 22.7 kg or 50 lbs).
To avoid personal injury we recommend that two persons
lift and carry the analyzer. Disconnect all cables and
tubing from the analyzer before moving it.
