It should be noted that the gas filter correlation method for detecting CO is subject to
interference from a number of other gases that absorb IR in a similar fashion to CO.
Most notable of these are water vapor, CO
The T300/T300M has been successfully tested for its ability to reject interference from
of these sources, however high concentrations of these gases can interfere with the
instrument's ability to make low-level CO measurements.
For a more detailed discussion of this topic, see Section 13.2.1.3.
The following procedure assumes that:
•
The instrument DOES NOT have any of the available calibration valve or gas inlet
options installed;
•
Cal gas will be supplied through the SAMPLE gas inlet on the back of the analyzer
(see Figure 3-4)
•
The pneumatic setup matches that described in Section 3.3.2.1.
