FEATURES
High Resolution Display.
A high resolution 640 x 480 VGA color display
provides operator with at a glance status and
results. Items such as chromatograms, analysis
results, previous calibration information, and
alarm statuses can be viewed. Menu access is
done via an intrinsically safe Keypad.
Rugged Thermistor Based Detector.
The PLGC3 thermal conductivity detector
(TCD) is less susceptible to fouling as
compared to micro-machined technology.
The TCD will not burn out on loss of carrier
gas and it is able to withstand corrosive
compounds such as H
2
S.
Analyzer Networking and Data
Communications.
The PLGC3 will support Ethernet
Modbus TCP/IP as well as up to 8
additional serial ports. A standard
industry compliant modbus list may
be selected or customized modbus
lists may also be easily generated.
Multiple Modbus lists can be created
and acccessed via Scada. The TCP
port can be operated as either
master or slave.
Data Archiving.
The PLGC3 has expandable
memory capability up to 32 GB
for the storage of individual
analysis, hourly averages, daily
averages and chromatograms.
C a l i b r a t i o n / v a l i d a t i o n
chromatograms may also be
stored for later viewing. A
complete audit trail is also
incorporated.
Operator Interface .
The Windows based software provides a powerful tool for
operation, diagnostics and data handling. The operator
can view and save chromatograms and analysis results,
review or modify analysis settings, set up networking,
generate reports, as well as several other parameters.

Durable Valves.
The chromatograph uses industry-leading
valves. Tough and long lasting, the valves are
rated for up to 1 million injections. Simple
mechanical design makes it easy and
inexpensive to service.
Airless Heat Sink Oven.
An airless heat sink oven maintains a constant
temperature of columns, valves and TCD for
reliable and accurate results.
Micro-packed Columns.
Columns are manufactured by Galvanic to ensure
quality and consistency. Consistent and reproducible
product ensures reliable results over the lifetime
of the chromatograph.
Reporting.
A report generating feature
allows users to produce printable
reports of standard measured
and calculated values based on
GPA or ISO standards. These
reports can also be customized
to included location, technician
name and comments.
Auto Calibration and
Validation.
The PLGC3 supports auto calibration
as well as validation. The validation
feature allows the user to analyze
the calibration standard without
adjusting response factors or
retention times. The PLGC3 will
support two calibration standards for
enhanced measurement of streams
with widely varying hydrocarbon
concentrations.
PRECISE
Excellent repeatability across
full operating temperature range
providing +/- 0.25 Btu per MCF.
FAST Rapid 3-4 minute response time.
RUGGED
Field proven design that is fully
eld serviceable.
LOW MAINTENANCE
Uses durable valves and
Galvanic micro-packed columns.
Minimal maintenance required.
EASY TO USE
Windows-based graphical-user
interface PC software allows
local or remote operation.
EASY TO SERVICE
Oven design provides easy
access to all components. Each
component is fully serviceable
reducing costly module
replacement.
MULTI -STREAM
Powerful electronics platform
and unique design allows
up to 8 streams of varying
compositions.
VALUE
Flexibility , Ease of Use, Field
Serviceability and rugged design
provide a cost effective solution.
