Teledyne API Model 300M CO Analyzer Instruction Manual, 04033, Rev. A
4.6 Setting the CO Concentration Range
The CO concentration range is the concentration value that corresponds to the maximum voltage output at the rear panel (usually 5 volts). The M300M can operate in one of three analog output Range Modes. The Range Mode can be changed through the
4.6.1 Single Range Mode (SNGL)
In this mode, both analog outputs (REC and DAS) are set to the same range. This range can be set to any value between 1 and 20,000 PPM and is accessed through the
4.6.2 Dual Range Mode (DUAL)
Selecting dual range mode will allow you to select different ranges for the REC and DAS analog outputs. The two ranges are called Low and High. The REC output at the rear panel is used for the Low range and the DAS output is used for the High range. To set the ranges press SETUP-
The High and Low ranges have separate slopes and offsets for computing the Carbon Monoxide concentration. Therefore, the two ranges must be independently calibrated. See Section 3.1.3 for details on calibrating the two ranges.
4.6.3 Auto Range Mode (AUTO)
In auto range mode, the analyzer automatically switches between the Low and High range depending on the concentration. When the CO concentration increases to 98% of the Low range value, the analyzer will switch to the High range. The analyzer will remain in the High range until the CO concentration drops to 75% of the Low range value. It will then switch back to the Low range. Auto ranging changes the range for the REC and DAS outputs simultaneously. To set the ranges press
The High and Low ranges have separate slopes and offsets for computing the Carbon Monoxide concentration. Therefore, the two ranges must be independently calibrated. See Section 3.1.3 for details on calibrating the two ranges.
