PGC5000 Series Service Instructions
When you use a single cylinder to supply a gas, check the cylinder regularly and replace it when the pressure falls below 100
psig, using another cylinder containing the specified gas.

4.2.2 Cleaning

Prior to cleaning the analyzer, turn off the power to the unit. Avoid using chemical agents which might
damage the component parts of the analyzer.
Clean the analyzer as often as environmental conditions require. Accumulation of dirt in certain oven subassemblies can cause
overheating and component failure, because dirt on components acts as insulating material preventing efficient heat
dissipation.
Remove loose dirt accumulated on the outside of the analyzer with a soft cloth or a small paint brush.
Remove any remaining dirt with a soft cloth dampened in a mild solution of water and detergent. Do not use abrasive cleaners
on the analyzer.
Remove dust in the inside of the oven, to eliminate electrical conductivity, and possible short circuits under high humidity
conditions.
The best way to clean the interior is to dislodge the accumulated dust with dry, low-velocity air and then
remove any remaining dirt with a soft paint brush and vacuum cleaner.

4.3 System backup

Before attempting any maintenance on a PGC5000 Series analyzer confirm a current backup of the operating system and
configuration files are available. If unavailable, follow the instructions in the Diagnostics and Troubleshooting section of this
manual to complete the process following the procedures in File Management section of the manual.

4.4 USB connectors

The Master Controller contains three Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors located inside the enclosure on the left side of the
Single Board Computer. These connectors are for backup, restore and upgrading the PGC5000 software and firmware (see
Figure 4.2).
