for calibrating instruments that have valve options.
3.4.4.1. INTERFERENTS FOR CO MEASUREMENTS
It should be noted that the gas filter correlation method for detecting CO is subject to
interference from a number of other gases that absorb IR in a similar fashion to CO.
Most notable of these are water vapor, CO
2
, N
2
O (nitrous oxide) and CH
4
(methane).
The GFC7001T/GFC7001TM has been successfully tested for its ability to reject
interference from of these sources, however high concentrations of these gases can
interfere with the instrument’s ability to make low-level CO measurements.
For a more detailed discussion of this topic, see Section 13.2.1.3.
3.4.4.2. INITIAL CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The following procedure assumes that:
The instrument DOES NOT have any of the available calibration valve or gas inlet
options installed;
Cal gas will be supplied through the SAMPLE gas inlet on the back of the analyzer
(see Figure 3-4)
The pneumatic setup matches that described in Section 3.3.2.1.

ERIFYING THE GFC7001T/GFC7001TM REPORTING RANGE SETTINGS
While it is possible to perform the following procedure with any range setting we
recommend that you perform this initial checkout using following reporting range
settings:
Unit of Measure: PPM
Analog Output Reporting Range: 50 ppm
Mode Setting: SNGL
While these are the default setting for the GFC7001T/GFC7001TM Analyzer, it is
recommended that you verify them before proceeding with the calibration procedure, by
