Page 11: Section 2: Principle Of Operation
Section 2 Principle of Operation A. Detectors 1. Thermal Conductivity Detector (TCD) The thermal conductivity detector (TCD) consists of a relatively large mass of metal to pro- vide a stable heat sink. Stainless steel is generally used because of its compatibility with most sample gases and its high thermal conductivity. - Page 12 (gas pair and relative concentra- tions). Detector current is provided by a solid state constant current power supply. The TCD is tem- perature-controlled in an insulated enclosure. Temperature is set and monitored on the screen.

1. When unpacking the instrument, check it carefully for evidence of shipping damage or rough handling. Check to ensure that all components ordered have either been supplied or backor- dered. Report any damage or discrepancies immediately to GOW-MAC Instrument Com- pany. - Page 16 The height and width of the front panel are designed to fit into an EIA standard 19-inch rack. The 7-inch touchscreen is the display and user interface. The only instrument power switch is on the back panel.

Communications 1. USB Connection The USB port can be used for data logging storage and future GOW-MAC software updates. A thumb drive or external hard drive can be connected here to save the data log text files. It is important to keep track of how much space is used when collecting data. Once the storage is full, the data log will STOP collecting data. - Page 22 Rating: output protection 240V RMS, 1000 Ohm maximum load Connections: Pin 11 (4-20mA) Lo Pin 24 (4-20mA) Hi ii. 0-5 Volt analog output Rating.

Page 25: Quick Start Guide
Quick Start Guide 1. Connect zero/reference, span/calibration and sample gases to back panel. The allowable range for gas pressures is 10 to 100 psig. If installing the 5200P (purgeable housing), one additional connec- tion needed is purge gas (see addendum). 2. - Page 26 To view % impurity or purity, navigate to the TCD screen and select desired display units on the right-hand side. The Analyze screen displays measured ppm or % for whichever gas is selected on the Control screen. GOW-MAC Instrument Co.

Page 27: Section 6: Operating Controls
Section 6 Operating Controls User Interface Screens The Series 5200 uses a touchscreen for user interface controls. Tabs along the bottom are to navigate between screens. NOTE ABOUT UNITS USED ON THE SCREENS – When not labeled on the screen, default units are: Gas Flow = ccpm Temperature = °C... - Page 28 • Date, time, and range of current calibration. • During calibration, a “Stabilization Timer” will appear in the calibration message box and count down the remaining seconds. • Buttons to manually start zero, span, and span check cycles.

- Page 29 o Zero: Switches to zero (reference) gas to determine the actual signal offset for the zero gas provided. The process takes two minutes, and the software will as- sign a “zero” value to that specific detector signal. o Span: Switches to span gas to determine the actual detector signal for the cali- bration gas provided.

Section 7 Instrument Operation 1. Select gases on the Gas Screen. a. Select sample gas. i. This is the matrix gas of the sample, also described as the balance or main com- ponent of a gas mixture. The selected sample gas is communicated to a sample flow meter that corrects from a stored gas list. - Page 36 Date and time of the last successful calibration will appear in the status bar and in the calibration message box. GOW-MAC Instrument Co.
- Page 37 7. Span Check. To check validity of the span value at any point in the analysis, hit the check span button to initiate a span check process. The 5200 performs a verification of the saved span value. The span gas is sent to the detector and the resulting signal must be within 2% of the saved value to be considered good.

Page 39: Section 8: Troubleshooting
Section 8 Troubleshooting All Models Not Calibrating. There are three known causes of a failure to calibrate the 5200. First, the instrument might not calibrate if set to the wrong range. Ensure the range is correct for the span gas. Second, the voltage signal shown on the control screen may be too low to calibrate. - Page 40 GOW-MAC Instrument Co.
