3 Introduction

3.1 General

The PGC5000 Series Process Gas Chromatograph (analyzer) separates and measures the individual components of gas or liquid
samples. It automatically samples and analyzes process streams, using the analyzer's Master Controller to control analytical
functions.
The PGC5000 analyzer is compatible with early versions (before version 4) of the STAR Data Management System.
Each analyzer has a temperature code (T-Rating) listed on the nameplate. This T-Rating indicates the temperature classification
of the area in which the analyzer has been designed to operate. T-Ratings and area classifications for analyzer locations are
determined and supplied by the customer.
The analyzer consists of a Master Controller and associated ovens (see Figure 3.1).

An Important Documents CD-ROM comes with the analyzer. Included on this CD are data sheets, installation drawings, and
replacement parts lists needed to support installation and operation of the analyzer. This manual refers to these data sheets
and drawings as the "Data Package."

3.2 Drawings

Since analyzer configuration depends on the particular application, this manual does not contain generic engineering drawings
and diagrams. You should utilize the drawings, diagrams and replacement parts lists provided on the Data Package supplied
with your analyzer to ensure you are using the correct ones for your system.

3.3 Master controller

The Master Controller can support up to four ovens, in any combination of Class B and Class C ovens, depending on detector
configurations. If internal I/O modules are utilized, the maximum number of ovens per Master Controller is limited to three.
The Master Controller contains a Card Cage with a Single Board Computer (SBC) PCB, a Power Supply, one or more Oven
Controller PCBs, and optional Wago input/output modules. The front panel assembly has a liquid crystal display (LCD), keypad,
and front panel board. Later versions of the front panel assembly have a touchscreen.

3.4 Class B oven

The Class B Oven, which comes in liquid and vapor versions, houses an isothermal oven which contains the analytical columns,
detector, detector amplifier, temperature controller, control valves, and sample valve. The Class B Oven has one detector and a
maximum of four valves.
