NGC Quick Start
Connect sample streams
IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT use any type of plastic,
Teflon™ or Teflon™ lined braided steel tubing.
Use only good quality, clean, stainless steel
chromatographic-grade transport tubing for carrier,
calibration gas and sample lines. Use of poor quality
stainless steel tubing will generate unsatisfactory
results. H2S applications require Sulfinert tubing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use only ultra-high purity grade
carrier gas. Purge all lines prior to connecting to the
device.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Sample conditioning modules
transport tubing run can be up to 50 feet. Lengths
longer than 50 feet must adhere to the rules of
calculated lag time (see NGC User’s Manual).
If a sample conditioning module is not being used, the
sample transport tubing should be 1/16-inch tubing
and no longer than ten feet.
Common Settings
Set Carrier regulator to 90 PSIG,
Calibration blend should be set to 15-20 PSIG.
Sample Probe Regulators to 15-20 PSIG and ensure
valves are open.
Power supply information
For a 12-volt NGC set the power supply voltage to 14-
14.5 volts. For a 24-volt unit set the voltage to 25-26.5
volts.
Recommended wire size is 12AWG.
See the NGC User’s Manual for other applications such
as battery power.
Start up using USB
After the unit has been powered up for a minimum of 2
hours for temperature stabilization continue with the
following steps:
Verify carrier, sample, and cal pressures are set
correctly.
Connect USB cable (to connect using ethernet
please consult the user manual).
Verify that ActiveSync /Windows Mobile Device
Center connects to the NGC.
1. Start PCCU32.
2. Select Setup icon
3. Select ActiveSync from connection types
4. Close setup window.
5. Select Connect from Toolbar
6. Select Entry Setup
a. The Start-up Wizard will initialize to assist with
analyzer setup. If you choose not to use the Wizard
or it fails to start, continue with the next step.
7. Select Show Tree View (on left)
8. Select Totalflow from top of tree.
9. In Station Setup Tab, under the Value Column
select Totalflow.
10. Chane the default ID.
11. Select send.
12. Select Analyzer Operation in the tree view (on
the left) to open the Main Screen.
13. Select Stream Sequence tab, enable the streams
to be used.
14. Select Send.
15. Select Diagnostics (on the right) to verify
Diagnostic tests were successful.
b. Unused streams will fail stream tests since no
pressure is applied
16. Select Calibration (on the right)
Enter calibration blend information from certificate.
Verify blend total equals 100%.
17. Select Send.
18. Close Window.
19. Select Peak Find (on the right). Verify that
Manual is selected. (DO NOT USE AUTO)
20. Select Run Single Cycle.
Review the chromatogram
Verify that all peaks are gated and labeled.
Verify that the reference peaks have appropriate
retention times and there are no alarms.
21. Select CAL button (on the left side of the main
screen).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Calibration will take approximately
30 minutes.
After calibration is accepted:
22. Select stream 4 to run calibration gas one more
time.
After the stream starts
23. Select the HOLD button so it only runs one time.
a. This will update stream data.
Verify stream 4 results are acceptable
24. Select Run (on the left) to put the unit in service
analyzing process stream(s).
To save the configuration:
Select Save & Restore icon from the PCCU toolbar.
Select SAVE and follow instructions.
Congratulations, you’ve successfully started up an ABB
