Introduction

1.1 Overview

The Model 7600 Infrared Gas Analyzer is a microprocessor based infrared gas analyzer used to measure the concentration of NO, SO2, CO2, CO and CH4 contained in sample gas. It is based on the principle that different molecular species have unique absorption spectrum in the infrared, and the intensity of absorption is determined by the Lambert- Beer law.

In addition to the infrared analyzer, the Model 7600 can also be equipped with a built-in compact paramagnetic O2 sensor or employ an external zirconia oxygen sensor to increase to 5 the number of simultaneous component species the unit can analyze.

Teledyne's Series 7600 Infrared (IR) Gas Analyzer is conveniently packaged in either a 19" rack mount or NEMA-4 wall mount enclosure. The NEMA-4 enclosure can be X or Z-purged to satisfy hazardous area installation requirements.

A high-sensitivity mass flow type twin detector is used for infrared measurements. By utilizing a single beam, double path design in conjunction with a serial dual-layer transmission detector, the Series 7600 delivers long term, drift-free performance.

The concentration of the desired gases is displayed on a large, easy- to-read back-lit LCD. Figure 1-1 shows the standard rack mountable Model 7600. The user interface is very intuitive and the menu / mode selection buttons, which are readily accessible, provide the operator with dynamic control and extensive diagnostic capabilities.
