    The Teledyne analytical Instruments Model IR7000 Non-Dispersive Infrared Gas Analyzer is a versatile microprocessor based analyzer for measuring or monitoring a gas stream. The IR7000 analyzer is available in a variety of configurations to suit most applications. The IR7000 series analyzer is designed for rapid monitoring of a process gas stream.
  • Page 11 IR7000B Wall Mount Unit The standard rack mount model IR7000 is shown in Figure 1-1 and the portable IR7000P is shown in Figure 1-2. The explosion proof models have the analysis unit installed in an explosion proof housing and employ steel tubing and fittings in the sample system.

    Introduction 1 IR7000 Standard Features The following features are standard on the IR7000 series of analyzers: • User selected automatic zero and span calibration • Linearized output over the entire full scale range eliminating the need for separate instrument ranges to achieve full span •...
  • Page 13 NDIR Gas Analyzer Introduction 1 To extend the versatility of the Ir7000 series of analyzers, many options are available. • Dual optical bench for simultaneous monitoring of 2 gases • Oxygen channel (0–25% or 0–100%). The IR7000 series easily accepts Teledyne analytical Instruments oxygen electrochemical cell for measuring oxygen levels in the process gas.

    Z-Purge system for automatic purging of the NEMA-4 enclosure. IR Detection Central to the IR7000 analyzer is the unique patented IR detector. It incorporates 2 chambers in optical series at the end of a gold-coated sample cell. The chambers are connected through a tiny orifice. IR is differentially absorbed in the 2-chambered detector and causes a mass flow between the chambers.

    NDIR Gas Analyzer Operational Theory 2 Electronics The IR7000 uses a sophisticated microprocessor to control the signal processing, I/O, and display functions within the analyzer. Custom EPROMs are installed with permanently stored data and routines specific to the customer’s application. Depending on what options are installed, 2 or more PCB’s are used in the electronic subsystem.

    For maximum response, locate the instrument as close to the sample line as possible. The ir7000 is designed for mounting into a standard 19” instrument rack. When mounting, make sure that there are no fans which exhaust directly at the instrument. The IR7000B is a wall mountable unit housed in a NEMA-4 enclosure.
