PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 3 Introduction

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).

Class C Class B
Oven Oven

Master
Controller

Fig. 3.1. Typical PGC5000 with Associated Ovens

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.

SI/PGC5000-EN, rev B 7

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 3 Introduction

3.4.1 Liquid version

The liquid version incorporates a liquid sample valve (LSV) as the input to the analysis. The duration of an analysis depends on
the application and consists of the following:

• The liquid sample valve injects a fixed volume of sample into a vaporizing chamber.
• “Sweep gas” transports sample out of the vaporizing chamber.
• Carrier transports the vaporized sample into the column.
• The column then separates the components and passes them into the detector.
• The detector measures the sample across the range of high to low concentration.

The liquid sample valve is externally mounted on the right side of the Oven Compartment and extends through the isothermal
oven, allowing direct injection. It is actuated by a solenoid valve located in the Oven Electronics Compartment. The liquid
sample valve captures a specific volume of liquid sample below its bubble point, injects it into a temperature controlled
(vaporizing) chamber of the LSV, which then sends the vaporized sample into the oven.

3.4.2 Vapor version

The vapor version has a vapor input to the analysis, so it does not require a liquid sample valve. The duration of an analysis
cycle depends on the applications and consists of the following:

• Carrier gas transports the vaporized sample through the columns.

• The column then separates the components and passes them into the detector.
• The detector measures the sample across the range of high to low concentration.

3.5 Class C oven

The Class C Oven contains the same components as the Class B Oven, but it has the capability to handle more oven
components. The Class C Oven has a maximum of two detectors and a maximum of six valves.

3.6 Air purge systems

The analyzer is suitable for a Class 1 Division 2 hazardous location, or an Ex Zone 2 area, without purge and pressurization
protection. Purge and pressurization protection of the electronics enclosure is required for a Class 1 Division 1 location, or an
Ex Zone 1 area. Refer to the analyzer nameplate for purge and pressurization specifications.

3.7 System variations

This manual supports the basic PGC5000 analyzer. An appendix to the main manual presents additional instruction for special
applications such as PGC5000TPGC (temperature programmed GC), PGC5007 (fuel sulfur GC), and PGC5009 (fast GC).

4.1 Equipment and supplies required
Factory Data Sheets from the Data Package
Flow measuring device

4.2 Preventive maintenance

The oven design is specifically designed to eliminate the need for extensive and complex maintenance. Where preventive
maintenance procedures require particular time frames or intervals, maintain an inspection log and inspection data. Figure 4.1
lists inspection routines, with recommended time intervals for each routine. In addition, verify analyzer using a validation
sample periodically to ensure operating efficiency.

To aid in preventive maintenance, keep reference chromatograms for comparison and assisting with early
detection of issues as described in the Troubleshooting section.

INTERVAL ROUTINE

Daily/Weekly Perform a visual inspection of the analyzer and sample system.

Check:
• Instrument air supply
• Sample system flows and pressures
• Cylinder gas pressures; replace as necessary

Weekly/Monthly Verify calibrate and calibrate as necessary.

Compare resultant chromatograms with those in Data Package.

Check/set analytical flows and pressure as necessary per factory data

package.

Backup controller tables after calibration and/or any changes to system

operational parameters.

Monthly/Quarterly Check carrier line dryers; change as necessary to prevent pressure drop.

Check all filters; clean or replace as necessary.

Inspect analytical valves for wear and proper operation; replace as

necessary.

Check physical condition of analyzer for corrosion, rust, etc.; take

corrective action as necessary.

Fig. 4.1. Maintenance Schedule

4.2.1 Gas cylinder replacement

When you use two cylinders to supply a gas, connect the cylinders in an automatic switchover configuration to ensure
continuous flow to the analyzer when replacing an exhausted cylinder. In this configuration, the second cylinder switches in
automatically when the first cylinder is exhausted (100 psig or less). When your inspection indicates an exhausted cylinder,
replace the cylinder with another containing the specified gas.

SI/PGC5000-EN, rev B 9

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 4 Maintenance

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).

PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

5.1 General
This section contains troubleshooting for the PGC5000 Master Controller and attached ovens. The analyzer is equipped with
visual indicators allowing the user quick identification and issue resolution.

5.1.1 Power-on self-test

On power up, the main duties of Power-on Self-Test (POST) are handled by the BIOS, which may hand some of these duties to
other programs designed to initialize very specific peripheral devices, notably for video and CANBus initialization.

The POST process tests the basic integrity of the analyzer’s boards during every startup cycle. The POST Failure indicator is
triggered if any of the process tests fail.

If the analyzer triggers the POST Failure indicator, reboot the Master Controller and watch the Local User Interface (LUI) display
screen for “Red” text. The “Red” text reveals the board subsystem having the initialization problem.

5.1.2 Indicator boxes and hex codes

Some functions have associated indicator boxes (diagnostic displays) and hexadecimal (Hex) codes displayed on the Setup
Tab>Status sub-tab (see Figure 5.1, which shows the DTC1 screen). The indicator boxes, when filled (black), indicate the named
action. The hex codes represent error codes. When submitting an issue to ABB support, always include a screen capture, or
record and include the filled indicator boxes and hex codes shown on the display. Include with your report all screens that
apply (i.e., Oven, EPC DTC, and zones).

5.2.3 System board battery

The System Board Battery is a small rectangular boxed object (“Snap Hat”) located in the middle of the Single Board Computer
(SBC) in the Master Controller. In the unlikely event the battery fails, it can be replaced.

Failure symptoms: System Clock resets when system is powered off.

Removal procedures: Place fingers or tool on both sides of the battery. Apply equal force to both sides and pull it away from
the SBC.

Installation Procedures: Locate battery connection base on the SBC. Ensure all four connection pins are straight and free of
contaminants. Align pins with base, push in firmly.

5.3 Board level light emitting diodes

Most circuit boards installed in the Master Controller and Ovens are equipped with light emitting diodes (LEDs). The LEDs can
display ongoing activity (communications, activation, etc.) and some are programmed to display diagnostic error codes.

The displayed activity and error codes are used to troubleshoot or confirm the ongoing functions of the analyzer system.
Not all LEDs are assigned blinking response states. They are primarily used for debugging when no user interface is available.

5.3.1 Single board computer

The SBC PCB has eight LEDs, numbered CR1 through CR8 left to right (see Figure 5.3). These LEDs are connected to GPIO pins
on the MPC8309 processor and are turned on and off with firmware.

5.3.2 Oven controller pcb

There are four large LEDs at the top, front edge (closest to the front door) of the Oven Controller (OC) PCB, arranged in a 2 by 2
square as shown in Figure 5.6:

RED Heart Beat

Not OK

Error Code Real Time

Clock

Fig. 5.6. Oven Controller PCB Communication Indicators

Upper right: Green – heartbeat that blinks being lit more than off at about once per second

Lower right: Green – blinks whenever a RTC signal is present; blinks faster when a method is active

Lower left: Amber – blinks slowly after power-up while the oven devices are being downloaded code

Upper left: Red – turns on when an error occurs; if heartbeat is blinking, then red indicates a loss of the life indicator
from the master controller; it will turn off if the Master Controller recovers.

Errors during startup will blink the lower left LED with a code that can be counted between pauses:
1 No initialized DPM
2 Unable to create virtual clock
3 Unable to create DPM exception handler
4 Unable to initialize RTC
5 Unable to create tasks
6 CAN comm error (not reliable)
7 Miscellaneous startup error
8 CAN asynchronous receive error
9 RTC asynchronous receive error
10 Error trying to start remote CAN node
11 Error during shutdown

When power is applied to the board, via the system power, the lower pair alternately blink for a few seconds indicating the
bootloader is functioning and loading the oven controller code from the master controller. If the bootloader fails, the two LEDs
will blink in unison five times and stop with an error code:
Off Green Invalid code size
Amber Off No code file
Amber Green No initialized DPM

Six small LEDs on the populated side of the Oven Controller PCB reflect CAN activity. CAN A refers to the oven fiber CANBus;
CAN B refers to the optional electrical CANBus; CAN C refers to the optional fiber CANBus. Under normal operation

these LEDs blink green; they may appear solid during heavy traffic. If a CAN communication error is detected, an LED will turn
red.
CR2 CAN A transmit
CR4 CAN A receive
CR6 CAN B transmit
CR8 CAN B receive
CR11 CAN C transmit
CR13 CAN C receive

On the unpopulated side of the Oven Controller PCB), CR9 is a small green LED which when lit, means the OC is in a hold state.
The OC PCB comes up in this state. Once the Master Controller initializes the DPM between the two, the Master Controller will
release the OC PCB, at which time CR9 will go off.

5.3.3 DTC digital pcb, version 1

The DTC digital board has four LEDs (CR1 to CR4) on the upper edge, beside the solenoid cable connector, as shown in Figure
5.7. They are numbered from left to right.
CR4
CR1

CR3
CR2

Fig. 5.7. Location of DTC Digital Board LEDs

Their normal operation indications are:

CR1: Green, blinking more on than off once per second (heartbeat.)
Amber, blinking. The bootloader operation is executing.
CR2: Green, blinking, rapid rate (noticeably faster than CR1); indicates method executing and Real Time Clock
signal present.
Amber, blinking, slow rate. No method executing and an RTC signal is present.
CR3: Green, solid: AC power present at the DTC analog board.
Red, solid: no power detected. Example: A T-rating error will shut down control and disable power resulting
in a red LED.
CR4: Off during normal operation.

On the Power-up Cycle, the four LEDs indicate the processes attempted if the DSP fails (none are blinking):
CR1 CR2 CR3 CR4
off red off off CAN initialization error
off amber off off application initialization error
red red off off CAN node/network setup error
green red off off no other node on CAN bus

CR3 is set red and CR4 is set amber upon receiving an NMT reset command from the OC. If the DSP can successfully reset, all
the LEDs will be turned off and then altered again during normal execution.

Specific CR4 functions: After the DTC becomes operational, unhandled interrupts might occur. These are reflected by a staying
solid red or blinking CR4.

A blinking red CR4 will blink for a count, pause, and then blink repeat the count again (continuously). Count the blinks between
pauses and determine the cause using the following list:
Blinks Source
1 (unused)
2 (rfu)

5.4 Indicator troubleshooting procedures

Most system errors are identified by the Condition Monitoring System, resulting in indicator activation. If an indicator is placed
in one or more of the user defined Status Tab scopes, it reflects in the Master Rollup Indicator located at the bottom left corner
of the Local User Interface (LUI) or Remote Client display (see Figure 5.8).

Master Rollup Indicator

Fig. 5.8. Master Rollup Indicator Location

5.4.1 Identifying issues

Use the following steps to identify issues.
1. If the Status Indicator is RED, YELLOW or BLUE (triggered), select the Home Tab and note the running analysis button.
2. If an analysis button indicator light is not GREEN, select the analysis button; then the Status sub-tab; locate the triggered
indicator(s); identify the issue. Refer to the Status Indicator table in this section for issue resolution.
3. If all analysis button indicators are GREEN, go to the Status Tab. Check the scope sub-tabs (located at the top of the
display) for triggered indicators.
4. Select the scope displaying the triggered indicator; locate the activated indicator(s); refer to the Status Indicator table later
in this section for issue resolution.

Some Status Scopes have multiple sub-scopes to choose from or may require using the ‘Page Down’ icon
to view all indicators.

If not assigned to a scope, a “Triggered” Indicator on the Status Tab, (displaying red, yellow or blue) is not
reflected at the Status Indicator. It maintains a green (good) status.

5.4.2 Correcting issues

Correct an issue by removing the condition which triggered the indicator. This includes removal and replacement of PCBs,
adjusting parameter limits or simply acknowledging the indicator by using the reset button.

If the triggering condition still exists, the indicator will re-trigger after pressing the reset button.

5.5 Status indicators

The following table lists all available indicators under the Status Tab>All sub-tab. This table describes the triggering condition
and resolution to clear the condition. Where more than one indicator may be present a range is given (e.g., 1-4). Refer to the
Glossary section for abbreviation explanantions.

identify a fault.

5.6 Operation troubleshooting

This subsection provides troubleshooting information by category. Included in this information are symptoms, causes, and
suggestions for further fault isolation.

5.6.1 Baseline noise

The baseline (detector signal) with no sample injection appears as noise similar in appearance to “grass” on a two dimensional
drawing in the graphics display. The baseline is observed on the Manual Mode tab of the Master Controller.

Cause: Baseline or detector noise can result from contaminated carrier, makeup gas, tubing or regulators. This type of
contamination is much less pronounced with a TCD than for an FID. Other causes include defective filaments (TCD), detector
wiring, or electrical noise in the detector electronics or power supplies.

Check the background level by going to the Setup Tab>FID button and with the flame lit manually, AUTO ZERO the baseline.
(The AUTO ZERO OFFSET for an FID should be > 10 mv.)

5.6.2 Baseline or signal offset

The baseline (detector signal) is continually offset to the positive or the negative with no short term drift up or down scale.

Causes:
1. Incorrect temperatures. Inspect temperature settings and correct if necessary.

SI/PGC5000-EN, Rev B 27

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

2. Contaminated or missing carrier gas, hydrogen fuel or burner air. Verify the supplied cylinders are analytical grade.
Replace cylinders one at a time; activate the pressure zones and relight the flame. Observe the baseline to isolate possible
contaminated cylinder. Replace cylinder as necessary.
3. Contaminated tubing (normally a startup issue). Locate supply cylinders as close as possible to the analyzer. Connect
them using a clean piece of tubing. Activate the pressure zones and relight the flame. Observe the baseline to isolate
possible contaminated tubing. Replace tubing as necessary.
4. Leaks. Pressure test supply lines from the source to the analyzer and pressure test the analyzer. Correct leaks as
necessary. Activate the pressure zones and relight the flame. Observe the baseline on the Manual Mode tab to verify
noise issue has been resolved.
5. Contaminated FID assembly. The FID may become contaminated due to flooding columns with liquid hydrocarbons or
running analyses with the flame out for long periods of time.
6. FID electrical failure. Disconnect the coaxial cable at the FID Amplifier assembly. Observe the baseline on the Manual
Mode tab. If baseline noise is not present, replace the coaxial cable. If it is still present reconnect the coaxial cable.
Replace the FID Amplifier assembly.
7. TCD detector balance. If the detector is not balanced between the reference and measurement filaments, balance is
needed.
8. TCD filament failure. Replace the filaments.
9. FPD baseline characterized by random noise and/or spikes. FPD noise is generally the result of electrical noise or
contamination.

5.6.3 No peaks
This generally indicates that either no sample was injected, or the injected sample is not being detected or processed.

No peak detection could be caused by any one of the following:

1. No sample flowing to the sample valve. Verify sample is flowing to the sample valve.
2. No carrier gas supplied to the analyzer. Verify air supply pressure and replace bottle as necessary.
3. No air to the sample valve actuator. Verify air supply pressure and replace bottle as necessary.
4. Baseline offset is extreme. Check for contaminated carrier, fuel and bottle, as necessary.
5. Column broken or connection in the column train is disconnected. Replace or reconnect column. Leak check analyzer and
set flows.
6. Low zone temperatures. Check system indicators for more details.
7. Analysis entries. Review analysis and correct as necessary.
8. Sample valve failure. Manual verify that valves are operating. Manually verify that solenoid valves are operating. Service
valves or replace solenoid as applicable. Replace DTC Master Digital.
9. Failed Detector Amplifier PCB.

5.6.4 Double sampling

The chromatogram peaks appear to have double apexes. The trailing peak apex is generally smaller than the leading one due to
the first having the greater sample size. Double sampling issues are isolated to the sample valve. Generally the first injection
occurs when the valve is turned on (valve stem inserted into the injection chamber). The second injection is made when the
valve is turned off (the valve stem is withdrawn from the injection chamber).

Cause: Worn liquid sample valve. Service the liquid sample valve.

5.6.5 Mystery peaks

Chromatograph displays extra peaks or a noted difference in composite chromatograph appearance from that of the
calibration.

Cause: If only present on calibration sample and not on process, verify that the correct calibration and proto fuel samples are
being analyzed. Possibly a new calibration blend has been installed that contains a blending error. Perhaps the wrong
calibration sample has been selected or incorrect analysis is attached to it.

If mystery peaks are present on all process or calibration samples, the analyzer is experiencing a sampling problem. The sample
valve seals may be leaking. The sample valve may be double sampling (see "Double Sampling"). The sample stem may be
scratched or deformed. Peaks may also be originating from a previous analysis cycle.

Check to ensure correct process stream is aligned with sample system.

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

5.6.6 Individual peak missing on report

Chromatogram indicates all peaks are present; however, the data report shows the peak to be nonexistent or unknown.

The gating in the method needs to be modified to ensure gating of the missing peak in the report. This can be done by
modifying the gate ON/OFF time in the method table.

5.6.7 Chromatogram oversized or off scale

The chromatogram or peak areas are excessively large.

Causes;
1. Wrong carrier gas. Verify the correct carrier gas is being used.
2. Splitter out of adjustment (liquid sample). Adjust splitter (if installed) per factory data sheet as necessary.
3. Sample size too large (vapor sample). Manually verify block and bleed valves are functioning, if applicable; correct as
necessary. Verify the analyzer’s sample vent is not restricted. Verify sample flow into analyzer is correct.

5.6.8 Variable sample size

Variable sample size can cause a non-repeatability of peak concentrations if the peak area is varying.

Causes:
1. Fluctuating sample size (liquid sample): Verify sample flow to analyzer. Verify sample is single phase. Verify splitter vent
is unrestricted.
2. Fluctuating sample size (vapor sample): Verify block and bleed valve vent is unrestricted, if applicable. Verify sample vent
pressure is not fluctuating. Verify sample flow to analyzer is not fluctuating. Verify sample flow to analyzer is correctly set
to 100 ml maximum. Possible leak in sample inject valve.

5.6.9 Variable retention times

Variable retention times can result in non-repeatability.

Causes:
1. Varying Carrier flow rate. Verify instrument air is per specification. Check oven indicators for more details. Monitor oven
purge pressure. Possible defective air purge regulator.

2. Varying oven temperature. Verify instrument air is per specification. Check oven indicators for more details. Monitor
oven purge pressure. Possible defective air purge regulator
3. Leak in column train. Leak check analyzer.
4. Contact the ABB factory for assistance in testing the functionality of the EPC Proportional Valves as well as Pressure
Sensors in the EPC block.

5.6.10 Reduced peak size

The chromatogram or peaks have reduced in size from that of a previous analysis.

Causes:
1. Wrong carrier gas. Verify the correct carrier gas is being used.
2. Excessive sample splitting (liquid sample). Verify splitter vent flow is per factory data sheet.
3. Sample size too small. Residue in the LSV stem’s sample groove (liquid sample); service LSV. Verify sample flow to
analyzer coating on walls of the sample loop (vapor sample); clean or replace sample loop.
4. Detector gain (TCD only). Check detector gain jumper and adjust if necessary. Replacement TCD may not be correctly
jumpered. Compare jumpers to original TCD and correct as necessary.
5. Check that there are no leaks present on the valves and all make/break connections.
6. Inspect CP Valve sliders (if installed) for scratches and grooves.

5.6.11 Loss of power

If X purge system is installed, analyzer power will be removed and cannot be restored until purge air is restored.

Causes:
1. Air supply shut off.
2. Purged areas have leaks. Leak check with leak detector.
3. Purge air switches are defective. Replace purge switches.

SI/PGC5000-EN, Rev B 29

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

4. Purge, atmospheric vents plugged. Inspect and clear vents.

5. Tubing to and from pressure switches leaking or disconnected. Inspect and replace if necessary.
6. Purge orifice is obstructed. Remove obstruction.

5.6.12 Flame out led on (flame will not ignite)

Flame Out LED on and continued attempts to light the flame have failed..

Causes:
1. Insufficient burner fuel and/or air. Check flows.
2. Plugged vent line. Check cell vent for restriction. Possible plugged breather assembly.
3. Defective igniter.
a. Measure resistance of the igniter at TB16 pins 3 and 4; it should be less than one ohm. Replace as necessary.
b. Measure voltage at TB16 pins 3 and 4 with igniter turned on; 2.0 VAC indicates an open igniter, 1.5 to 1.6 VAC
indicates a good igniter.
c. 0 VAC indicates an electrometer problem or the electrometer is not receiving the ignite signal from the A/D board.
4. Incorrect flame out indication. Measure thermocouple voltage at TB16 pins 1 and 2 on the electrometer PCB. With the
flame lit the reading should be greater than 2.5 mv.
a. If the voltage is greater than 2.5 mv the electrometer is defective.
b. If the voltage is less than 2.5 mv check flows and correct as necessary.
c. Inspect thermocouple for damage and replace as necessary.
d. Inspect jet tip for corrosion and restriction, and replace as necessary.

5.7 Software
A software repair can be as simple as restarting the system or may require performing a System Recovery from files created and
saved on a USB flash drive. In the unlikely event a system recovery is needed, it is easy to do so using a recovery image created
from the Local User Interface using the Setup Tab. The USB flash drive created contains a System Recovery image including all
the software files originally installed on your analyzer at the factory and changes made prior to the last backup.

It is important that you perform the system restore in the order described in this document.

5.7.1 System backup, restore and recovery

From the Setup tab the PGC5000 has several recovery options available (see Figure 5.9). The options allow restore point
creation and/or chromatogram data file copy or deletion

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

If only option names show, you do not have enough rights to use the backup and restore options.

Stop all schedules before creating a recovery USB or backing up the stream files to a USB flash drive.

ACCESS CONTROL LIST – Selecting the Access Control List (ACL) icon displays a dialog box containing a list of users, passwords,
and access levels that is distributed, encrypted and persisted at each device. The ACL can be modified from a PGC5000
(LUI or Remote Client), VNSA, or a STAR Client. If the analyzer is secured, any user with supervisory rights can modify the
ACL. If the PGC5000 is unsecured, everyone has the ability to modify the ACL.

Stop all schedules before restoring from a recovery USB flash drive.

FACTORY – Selecting the Restore Settings icon restores the analyzer to the factory configuration. AllL user configuration
changes to the system will be lost.

USER – Selecting the Save icon creates a User Restore point. The system copies all configuration files from the working
directory to the Restore directory on the analyzer. You should create a restore point prior to making any changes or
updates to the analyzer.

Selecting the Restore Settings icon restores the system to the user created restore point. It copies the configuration files
from the Restore directory to the Working directory of the Master Controller and restarts the system.

Creating the recovery drive takes several minutes. Wait for the “Operation Completed” message before
ejecting and removing the USB thumb drive. Remove and store the Recovery drive in a safe place.

You must use a USB drive having 32 gb or less. If you use a USB drive larger than 32 gb, the system will
appear to write the data to the drive and give a “Creation Complete” message, but no data will be on the
drive.

RECOVERY – Selecting the USB Flash Drive Operation icon creates a recovery drive on the USB flash drive inserted in the Master
Controller Single Board Computer. This operation takes up to thirty minutes to complete depending on system
configuration. The user restore director is NOT saved to the Recovery drive.

To restore the system from an unrecoverable lockup or after replacing the Single Board Computer, install the USB flash
drive and apply power to the system. The Master controller formats the flash memory and copies all of the files from the
USB flash drive to the system’s flash memory. Wait for the Upgrade Complete message to appear. Select the USB Eject
icon and wait for the Eject Complete message to appear. Remove the USB drive and cycle power on the Master Controller
to reboot.

STREAM FILE – Selecting the USB Flash Drive Operation icon copies all stored chromatogram files on the system to the flash
drive inserted in the Master Controller SBC board. Copying the data files will take several minutes. Wait for the Operation
Complete message to appear. Select the USB Eject icon and wait for the Eject Complete message to appear and then
remove the USB flash drive.

Selecting the Delete Icon deletes all saved chromatograms and report files on the system. It does not delete analyses
saved in the Analysis Config folder or Analysis Library folder.

DIAGNOSTICS – Selecting the USB Flash Drive Operation icon will copy all diagnostic files to a USB drive inserted in the Master
Controller SBC board. Diagnostic files are used to diagnose errors and events in software. These files are for factory use
and troubleshooting purposes. The copying of the files should take only a few minutes. Wait for the Operation Complete

USB flash drive.

EJECT – Selecting the USB Flash Drive or the SD Card icon allows you to safely eject the USB Flash Drive or SD Card from the
Single Board Computer PCB in the Master Controller. Wait for the Eject Complete message before removing the USB Flash
Drive or SD Card. Report storage will automatically revert to RAM disk when the SD Card is not present.

5.7.2 System backup, restore and recovery error messages

The PGC5000 Backup / Restore and Recovery options include error diagnostics. Figure 5.10 shows a message display sample.

5.8 Restarting the analyzer

Restarting is the simplest repair method for the analyzer. When restarted, the Master Controller reloads the operating system
and software into its memory.

When the Master Controller’s power is cycled, it forces the analyzer to clear and reload the configuration files into Random
Access Memory (RAM), allowing the system to reinitialize all attached ovens and connected equipment.

To restart the analyzer:

1. Remove power to the Master Controller (turn OFF).
2. Restore power to the Master Controller.
3. It is not necessary to cycle oven power.

5.9 Upgrading software

Software upgrades may be available through the ABB Support on a need basis. Please follow the reporting guidelines as
described in the Section 8 of these instructions.

5.10 Optional discharge ionization detector

The Discharge Ionization Detector (DID) consists of a detector unit and a power supply (see Figure 5.11).

Detector Unit Power Supply

Fig. 5.11. Discharge Ionization Detector

This procedure describes general troubleshooting procedures, issues and resolutions for the optional Discharge Ionization
Detector.

Verify that:
• System has power.
• All switches and gas settings are at the correct positions.
• Column has proper flow rates and pressures.
• Plasma shield is in place on the reactor.
• Plasma center rod is grounded to the oven chassis.
• Bias tube is connected to a bias voltage source.

Identify whether the problem is with the oven or the detector. In general, if the problem is with retention times but not
sensitivity, look for problems with the oven, especially the valves or column connections.

Next determine the last thing done to the system. In general, this is the best place to begin the troubleshooting process.

If these steps identify that the problem is with the detector, use the following subsections to identify and correct the problem.

5.10.1 Plasma will not light

No power: If the fuse is good, contact ABB customer support for further assistance.

Air in plasma: The presence of too much air in the plasma will often cause the plasma not to light. Allow the system to purge
with the reaction gas for at least 15 minutes. If the plasma still will not initiate, check for air leaks in all of the fittings.

Back pressure too high: If a restriction in the exhaust line is too high, the detector plasma will not light. Replace the
exhaust/signal tube with a new one and see if the plasma will light.

Wrong plasma gas: If there is another gas besides helium or argon, the plasma will not light.

5.10.2 No signal
No power to plasma power supply: If the fuse is good, contact ABB customer support for further assistance.

Verify power to plasma: Observe the plasma tube with the lights off. There should be a pink or almost white glow in the
plasma tube. If the tube is very blue and the signal is low, there is nitrogen in the plasma. This may be because the wrong

SI/PGC5000-EN, Rev B 33

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

reaction gas is connected, there is an air leak, or there is no reaction gas flow. Turn off the power to the plasma and check
the gas supply. Check for leaks and check flow rate.

Signal cable problem: Verify that the collector shield BNC fitting contacts the exhaust tube.

1. Remove the BNC cable from the collector shield.

2. Verify contact between the center pin of the BNC and the exhaust tube, using a volt-ohm-milliammeter (VOM) or
continuity tester.
3. Reconnect the BNC cable to the collector shield.
4. Verify the cable is connected to the collector shield and the electrometer board.

Verify bias voltage: Using a VOM, measure the voltage at the bias rod. The voltage should be 110 volts between the rod and
the oven chassis.

5.10.3 Low signal

No restrictor: The detector is not as sensitive when no restriction is on the exhaust flow. Verify that the restrictor in place is a
0.1 id tube. If you are unsure, replace the restrictor with one of known dimensions.

Low or no bias voltage: Verify the connection of bias voltage to the bias voltage rod. If necessary, verify that bias voltage is
present on the bias voltage rod by connecting a volt-ohm-milliammeter to the bias rod (red lead) and ground (black lead).
The voltage should be at least 110 volts.

Leakage in the chromatographic system: Verify the retention times for the components of interest. If these are correct, check
for leakage on all the fittings on the detector end of the system. If the retention times have shifted, look for leaks on the
valve rod.

Wrong reaction gas: Using nitrogen as the reaction gas will cause low signal. Verify that the proper reaction gas is being used.

Improper restrictor in place: Too large of a restrictor results in poor plasma performance, leading to low sensitivity. Verify that
the proper restrictor is in place, or replace the restrictor with one of know proper dimensions.

High response and shifted retention times: This is a problem that may be caused by a restriction in the exhaust tube. In this
case, the retention times for the analyses will have shifted later in the chromatogram.

1. Visually inspect the exhaust tube to identify any materials that may be plugging the tube.
2. Insert a syringe cleaning wire into the exhaust tube.

If these actions do not resolve the problem, replace the exhaust tube with a new one.

5.10.4 Noisy
Bad electrical connections: Check the signal cable connection and the bias voltage cable connection. Check the signal cable
shield for fit. This fitting should be snug for best performance. Verify the connection between ground and ground.

Leak: Especially true when operating in the helium ionization detection (HID) mode. If the detector is being very noisy, check
all fittings within the oven system for leaks. Verify the installation of or replace the PTFE noise shield in the top nut.

Plasma electrode too close to Swagelok fitting: The plasma O-ring on the plasma tube is meant to prevent this issue. If this
appears to be the case:

1. Turn off the power to the plasma.

2. Remove the plasma shield.
3. Remove the plasma tube from the top nut.
4. Install or replace the plasma O-ring on the plasma tube.
5. Reinstall the plasma tube.
6. Re-attach the plasma shield.
7. Turn on power to the plasma.

SI/PGC5000-EN, Rev B 34

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 5 Diagnostics and troubleshooting

5.10.5 High baseline

Bad gas: When operating in the HID mode, background signal is directly linked to the quality of the gases being used.
Therefore, at a minimum, it is important to have an oxygen scrubber, a water scrubber, and a hydrocarbon scrubber in line
when you are operating in HID mode. When the highest sensitivity is desired, the detector should be operated with a
getter to remove the residual oxygen and nitrogen often found in UHP helium.

Air leak: If there is an air leak in the system before the detector, the presence of oxygen and nitrogen will cause a high baseline
and a noisy signal. Generally, an air leak at the detector will cause a low signal (due to the presence of nitrogen in the
plasma) rather than a high signal. If a high signal is encountered and a leak is suspected, verify the fittings before the
detector (i.e., the injector and the injector gas supply lines).

5.10.6 Drifting baseline

Pressure control problems: Pressure controls not providing a consistent, pulse free, flow rate to the detector will lead to
detector drift and noise. Monitor the pressure gauges on the supply cylinder and measure the flow out of the exhaust port
over a one hour period to verify correct flow conditions.

Column bleed: If the system is running isothermally, the changing baseline may be due to column bleed. This is especially
problematic when using packed columns. Verify that the system is leak free. Ensure that there is on oxygen in the
system. Re-condition, rinse, or replace the column.

Plasma cell leak: If the base of the plasma cell is not well sealed, it is possible to see a rise in the baseline. Initially this may
appear as column bleed, but the signal will settle down once the oven returns to an isothermal mode. Reset the plasma
cell in the Swagelok fitting and tighten to make it leak free.

Contamination or late-eluting components: Alter the cycle time of injections to determine if the drifting baseline changes
location. If it does, it is possible that there is a late eluting component or contamination that is coming off the column
several runs later. If this is the case:

1. Install filters to eliminate the contamination.

2. Extend the run time to get the material off the column.
3. Extend the instrument cycle time to elute the material prior to the next analysis.

5.10.7 Spikes
Loose connections: Verify the signal cable is securely attached to the electrometer and to the BNC fitting on the collector
shield. Verify that the signal spring contacts the exhaust tube.

Missing ground leads: Verify that the ground lead from the plasma center electrode is connected. If not, turn off the power to
the plasma and re-connect the center electrode ground lead. Verify that the main power supply ground lead is connected
to an appropriate oven chassis ground point.

Defective bias voltage: If the bias voltage is not stable, it is possible to get signal spikes. Verify the bias voltage and stability
using a VOM connected between the bias voltage rod and the oven chassis ground.

5.10.8 Shifting retention times

If compounds elute early, the wrong restrictor may be in place. If the restrictor has recently been replaced, it is likely that a
restrictor is being used that has an inside diameter that is too large. Replace it with a new restrictor of know dimensions and
verify performance.

4. Apply carrier gas and leak check. Further tighten the two fittings as necessary if leaks are found.
5. Close and secure the Isothermal Oven door.
6. Apply air and makeup gases.
7. Allow zone temperatures to stabilize.
8. Check/set carrier flows per data sheet.

7.1.3 Capillary column installation

Inspect the ends of the column. The ends should be round and burr free. If either column end is not round or burr free, the
column end must be trimmed as described in “Cutting capillary columns.”

1. Insert the end of the column through the back of the tubing nut.
2. Insert the column through the new ferrule.
3. Slide the ferrule down the length of the column (approximately three inches).
4. Cut the column as described in "Cutting Capillary Columns."
5. Connect the column and finger-tighten; then tighten and additional ¼- turn with an open-end wrench.
6. Test the column for a secure connection by gently pulling the column at the 1/8-inch tubing nut. Correct any withdraw.
Continue tightening the nut until the column is secure at the fitting.
7. Repeat steps 1 through 6 for the other end of the column.
8. For columns connected to an FID:
a. Insert the column end into the FID analysis inlet connection until it stops against the jet.
b. Withdraw the column approximately 1/16-inch and tighten the nut finger-tight. Tighten the nut an additional 1/4-turn
with an open-end wrench.
c. Check it for a secure fit.

If a metal capillary column is used, particular care should be taken to ensure that the column does not
contact the jet. The metal column will conduct electricity and could cause an electrical short at the jet.

9. Turn on carrier gas

10. Turn on analyzer.

11. Set carrier pressure and purge column for at least 30 minutes and leak check. NOTE: SNOOP™ IS NOT recommended for
leak checking capillary columns.
12. Perform the PGC5000 series startup procedure as described in the Operation Guide (OI/PGC5000).

7.1.4 Cutting capillary columns

The procedure for cutting glass or metal capillary columns is the same, except that a small sharp file may be used to score metal
columns.

Do not use high speed cutting wheels or grinders to cut capillary columns. This type of cutting generates
heat that can damage the column and the resultant column cuttings could plug the column.

1. Use a diamond or ceramic scoring tool to score the surface of the outside tubing wall approximately one inch from the end
of the column. Take care not to cut through the tubing wall.
2. Wipe the scored area clean to prevent material from entering the column.
3. Secure the column with your fingers 1/2-inch on each side of the score and gently bend the tubing at the score, in the
direction opposite the score.
4. When the score point opens, bend the tubing back towards the score. The tubing should make a clean break.
5. Inspect the end of the column for roundness and ensure it is burr free. If the end is not round and burr free, repeat the
procedure until it is.
6. The column is now ready for installation.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the area is safe and hazard free, and will remain so the
entire time the analyzer is open. This responsibility includes ensuring adequate ventilation in analyzer
shelter and obtaining proper work permits, etc.

1. If power is applied to the analyzer, turn it off.

2. Turn off oven air to the Isothermal Oven and allow all temperature zones to cool.
3. Open the isothermal oven door.
4. Isolate carrier and all utility gases

7.3.1 Removing the filaments

1. Use a Phillips screwdriver to loosen the two Phillips head screws located on the front underside of the mounting bracket.
2. Remove the mounting bracket cover by sliding it out and away from the detector assembly.
3. Remove the insulating material from the mounting bracket.
4. If they are not already labeled, label the wire pair connected to the measurement filament “M” and the wire pair
connected to the reference filament “R”.
5. If the detector filament wiring connections are spliced, perform steps 6 through 8. If they are not spliced, go to step 9.
6. Position the detector wiring such that the wired splices can be accessed.
7. Cut and remove the heat shrink from each of the spliced filament wire connections to expose the soldered connections.
8. Using a 40 watt soldering iron, de-solder and disconnect the wire splices.
9. If the detector filament wiring connections are not spliced, cut the existing detector harness wires approximately three
inches from the detector end.
10. Remove the harness retaining clamp and free the harness.
11. Clean the area around the two detector filaments to reduce the chance of foreign particles entering the detector cavity
when the filaments are removed.
12. Loosen the two detector filament retaining gland nuts with a 3/8-inch open-end wrench. Continue to loosen by hand.
13. Carefully extract the filaments from the detector cell cavity.

7.3.2 Installing the filaments

Replacement filament installation kits are supplied with two cable glands, a wire spreader, 736 RTV, high
temperature solder, and heat shrink.

1. Cut the four filament wires approximately the same length as the wires on the filaments that were removed.
2. Insert one pair of filament wires through the threaded end of the gland nut, then carefully insert the filament into the
detector cell cavity marked “M” (measurement). Position the filament with filament wire in the direction of the flow.
3. Slide the nut down the length of the wires to insert and align it with the measurement cavity.
4. Tighten the cable gland finger tight, and then finish tightening with a 3/8-inch open-end wrench.
5. Insert the second pair of filament wires through the threaded end of the gland nut, then carefully insert the filament into
the detector cell cavity marked “R” (reference). Position the filament with filament wire in the direction of the flow.
6. Slide the nut down the length of the wires to insert and align it with the reference cavity.
7. Tighten the cable gland finger tight, and then finish tightening with a 3/8-inch open-end wrench.
8. Using wire strippers, remove approximately 1/4 inch of insulation from the end of each detector filament wire.

7.3.3 Filament checkout

1. Connect multimeter leads to each wire of the measurement filament (installed in the detector cavity labeled “M”). The
resistance measurement should be approximately 40 ohms.
2. Connect multimeter leads to each wire of the reference filament (installed in the detector cavity labeled “R”). The
resistance measurement should be within one ohm of the measurement filament resistance.
3. If the resistance measurements are not within one ohm of each other, ensure the multimeter is connected and functioning
correctly, and that the correct meter function is selected.
4. If the detector filaments are not in tolerance, the detector filaments are defective. The filaments must be replaced and
the checkout repeated.
5. Neither filament should contact the detector cell body. Connect the multimeter leads to one of the filament wires and the
detector cell body. The meter reading should range from several hundred megohms to infinity.

SI/PGC5000-EN, Rev B 57

Downloaded from www.Manualslib.com manuals search engine

 PGC5000
PGC5000 Series Service Instructions 7 Subassembly repair

6. Repeat this measurement for each of the other three filament wires. If all resistance measurements are correct, go to
"Connecting the Filaments." If any resistance is too low, go to step 8.
7. If the resistance measurement is approximately 20 ohms, filament being tested is contacting the internal wall of the
detector cell cavity. When this occurs, carefully loosen the gland of the suspect filament. Continue to loosen by hand and
withdraw first the gland, then the filament from the detector cell body (taking care not to touch or damage the filament).
8. Inspect the filament for damage or bending. If it is damaged, the filament pair will have to be replaced.
9. If the filament is slightly bent, use small needle nose pliers to gently and carefully bend it straight.
10. If the filament orientation now appears to be correct, reinstall the detector filament and repeat the complete checkout. If
it fails again, replace the detector filament pair and repeat the checkout.
11. If the filament is damaged during this attempted correction process, the filament pair will have to be replaced.

7.3.4 Leak test

1. Restore carrier to the analyzer and establish carrier flow to both the measurement and reference ports of the detector.
2. Verify carrier and reference flow using a flow meter. Typically the flows should be 30 to 40 cc per minute if packed
columns are used, 10 to 15 cc per minute if 0.53 mm ID capillary columns are used, and 3 to 5 cc per minute if 0.32 mm ID
capillary columns are used.
3. Cap the TCD vents to pressure up the TCD.
4. Test for leaks around the detector filament gland nut with a nonconductive liquid leak detection solution. Correct all leaks
before proceeding.
5. Shut off the carrier supply to the analyzer.
6. Gently remove any excess leak detection solution with a soft cloth or tissue and blow dry with 15 psig clean dry air, helium
or nitrogen.
7. Slowly loosen and remove the cap nuts installed in step 3.

7.3.5 Connecting the filaments

1. Roll the ends of each stripped harness wire between your thumb and index finger to tightly spiral wrap the wire ends.

3. Roll the ends of each stripped filament wire between your thumb and index finger to tightly spiral wrap the wire ends.
4. Using a 40 watt soldering iron and approved high temperature solder, “tin” each of the filament wire ends.
5. Install approved heat shrink over each of the four filament wires, and slide it as far from the free wire end as possible.
6. Select a harness assembly wire with the “R” label designation and overlap the “tinned” ends of this harness wire with one
of the reference filament wires.
7. Solder the wires using a 40 watt soldering iron and approved high temperature solder. Apply solder sparingly, allowing it
to flow evenly. Do not overheat the solder or a high resistance connection could result.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for the remaining harness wire labeled “R” and reference filament wire.
9. Repeat steps 6 through 8 for harness wires labeled “M” and the measurement wires.
10. Slide heat shrink over each connection and shrink with a heat source.

7.3.6 Potting the filaments (CENELEC and CSA only)

Perform this procedure if you know that your analyzer is constructed to CENELEC or CSA specifications or if the existing
detector filament is potted.
1. Gently slide the insulation sheath out of and away from the gland nut.
2. Using a syringe filled with Silastic compound “Dow 736 RTV,” completely fill the gland cavity with the Silastic compound.
3. With the insulation still pulled away from the gland nut, use needle nose pliers to install the wire spreader.
4. Separate and insert filament wires into the slots on either side of the spreader. The spreader should be positioned
between the end of the sheath insulation and the back of the gland nut.
5. Press the spreader into the recess in the gland nut. The retainer must be installed such that it is not in any way tilted. It is
normal for the retainer to protrude slightly from the gland recess.
6. Slide the sheath insulation toward the wire spreader until it contacts the face of the spreader.

7.3.7 Re-installing mounting bracket cover

1. Reinstall the insulating material.
2. Reinstall mounting bracket cover.

It is also important to use two wrenches when tightening the sample line connections. One wrench must be used to back up
the force applied to tighten the fitting. Direct wrench force (not using a back-up wrench) will damage the seals and possibly
bend the stem.

Sample will spill or leak out during this procedure. Consult MSDS sheets on file at your location for safety
requirements.

Sample valve repair may necessitate the venting of flammable substances into the atmosphere
surrounding the analyzer. Remove power from all sources of ignition in the immediate area. Do not
open any purged enclosures that remain powered.

Ensure proper safety equipment is worn, such as rubber gloves and face shield or safety glasses.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the area is safe and and hazard-free, and will remain so
the entire time the analyzer is open. This responsibility includes ensuring adequate ventilation in
analyzer shelter and obtaining proper work permits, etc.

To ensure the integrity of the components within the Liquid Sample Valve (LSV), use the tools in LSV Tool
Kit 791K009-1 when assembling or disassembling the LSV.
