Overview
There are 4 steps involved in operating the IR7000 NDIR Gas

stabilized before introducing a sample for analysis. The
optimum warm up time is 3 hours although the instrument can
be used after 1 hour.
2. Configuring the instrument for your application using the
SETUP function. This can be done during the warm-up period
if desired.
3. Setting operational parameters via the MODE function.
4. Calibrating the instrument with zero and then span gas. Section
5 describes calibration in detail.
