GC-Pro FID Introduction

Introduction
The GC-Pro FID Analyzer is a microprocessor controlled digital
instrument incorporating a Flame Ionization Detector (FID) coupled
with a gas separation column and switching valve designed to measure
the quantity of aromatic hydrocarbons present in a positive pressure
sample gas. Up to 8 channels of output are present for measuring
specific analytes in a sample stream. Unlike other benzene or
hydrocarbon analyzers, the GC-Pro FID Analyzer expands its diagnostic
capabilities to look for other aromatics, like toluene, ethyl benzene,
xylenes and other separable species. The GC-Pro FID Analyzer has
multiple channels for measurement with enhanced versatility and
capabilities. Due to its flexibility, it is vitally important that you refer to
Appendix C for the specific factory setup for your application.
The GC-Pro FID features a modern user interface with a touch
screen front panel facilitating operation, calibration, data collection and
display. With the Ethernet connectivity feature, this new interface allows
the instrument to be operated remotely with a VNC software application
from another digital device whereby the analyzer can be accessed,
controlled, data displayed etc. as if the analyzer were physically present.
Although the analyzer arrives already setup for your specific
application, a gas chromatograph mode allows the user to program the
instrument for measuring different species present in the sample.
1.1 Main Features of the Analyzer
The GC-Pro FID Analyzer is sophisticated yet simple to use. A
touch screen display on the front panel provides access all phases of
setup, calibration, operation, and troubleshooting on the GC-Pro FID.
The main features of the analyzer include:
 Data acquisition and control functions supporting:
 Pressure measurements, 5-Channels
 Flow (MFC) measurements, 3-Channels
 Oxygen measurements, 6-Channels
