Maintenance

The NGC8206 was designed from the ground up to be

maintained by personnel with little or no prior knowledge

of gas chromatography.

Both hardware and software are designed to provide low

maintenance through easily replaceable electro-mechanical

modules such as:

• NGC termination panel

• NGC analytical module, an easily removable chromatograph

subassembly, containing:

- NGC manifold

- Stream selector solenoid valves

- GC module

- Dual electronic carrier pressure regulator valves

- Chromatograph pilot valve

- NGC analytical processor

• NGC feed-through (heater optional)

• Sample conditioning module (SCM)

• NGC controller, (32 bit processor)

• NGC ¼ VGA display (optional)

Other maintenance support features

• Intuitive Local Operator Interface (PCCU 32) running

Microsoft® Windows® environment

• Diagnostic software and wizards for maintenance

• Diagnostic file output system for e-mail support

• Digitized detector output (chromatogram) to PCCU 32

• Remote or local operation of PCCU 32

• Quick Start guide, Start up manual and Start up video
