1.1. M300E FAMILY OVERVIEW
The family includes the M300E and the M300EM Gas Filter Correlation Carbon Monoxide Analyzer. The M300E
family of analyzers is a microprocessor-controlled analyzer that determines the concentration of carbon
monoxide (CO) in a sample gas drawn through the instrument. It uses a method based on the Beer-Lambert
law, an empirical relationship that relates the absorption of light to the properties of the material through which
the light is traveling over a defined distance. In this case the light is infrared radiation (IR) traveling through a
sample chamber filled with gas bearing a varying concentration of CO.

sample chamber filled with gas bearing a varying concentration of CO.
The M300E/EM uses Gas Filter Correlation (GFC) to overcome the interfering effects of various other gases
(such as water vapor) that also absorb IR. The analyzer passes the IR beam through a spinning wheel made up
of two separate chambers, one containing a high concentration of CO, known as the reference, and the other
containing a neutral gas known as the measure. The concentration of CO in the sample chamber is computed by
taking the ratio of the instantaneous measure and reference values and then compensating the ratio for sample
temperature and pressure.

The M300E/EM Analyzer’s multi-tasking software gives the ability to track and report a large number of
operational parameters in real time. These readings are compared to diagnostic limits kept in the analyzers
memory and should any fall outside of those limits the analyzer issues automatic warnings.

memory and should any fall outside of those limits the analyzer issues automatic warnings.
Built-in data acquisition capability, using the analyzer's internal memory, allows the logging of multiple
parameters including averaged or instantaneous concentration values, calibration data, and operating
parameters such as pressure and flow rate. Stored data are easily retrieved through the serial port or optional
Ethernet port via our APICOM software or from the front panel, allowing operators to perform predictive
diagnostics and enhanced data analysis by tracking parameter trends. Multiple averaging periods of one minute
to 365 days are available for over a period of one year.
