Operating Instructions

Model GFC7000TA Carbon Dioxide Analyzer

6.8.5. Auto Range Mode (AUTO)

In AUTO range mode, the analyzer automatically switches the reporting range between two user-defined ranges (low and high). The unit will switch from low range to high range when the CO2 concentration exceeds 98% of the low range span. The unit will return from high range back to low range once both the CO2 concentration falls below 75% of the low range span.

In AUTO Range mode the instrument reports the same data in the same range on both the A1 and A2 outputs and automatically switches both outputs between ranges as described above. Also, the RANGE test function displayed on the front panel will automatically switch to show which range is in effect.

The high/low range status is also reported through the external, digital status outputs (Section 6.15.1.1).

To set individual ranges press the following keystroke sequence.

Toggle the numeral buttons to set the LOW and HIGH range value. ENTR accepts the new setting, EXIT ignores the new setting.

CAUTION

In AUTO range mode the LOW and HIGH ranges have separate slopes and offsets

for computing CO2 concentration.

The two ranges must be independently calibrated.

NOTE

Avoid accidentally setting the low range of the instrument with a higher span limit than the high range. This will cause the unit to stay in the low reporting range perpetually and defeat the function of the AUTO range mode.
