3000 Micro GC Operating Manual
5.3 Multi-Position Valve Installation and Setup
3000 Micro GC can be equipped with a Valco (VICI) switching or sampling valve
actuator to control the injection of multiple gas streams. EZ IQ software allows for
control of this stream selection valve. See Figure 5-41.
Figure 5-41 Multiposition microelectric valve actuator and controller
In addition to the stream selection valve, the EMHCA-CE and EMTCA-CE
(two position and multi-position) models of switching valve actuators with serial port
interface manufactured by Valco Instruments, Inc. are supported.
NOTE: Only the serial port interface versions of the actuators are supported.
Consult the Valco valve operating manual for hardware installation instructions.
To activate the Valco valve application in EZ IQ, the Valco valve must be
configured. See section 5.3.3 on page 5-34. After configuration, the Valco valve
function can be programmed in the 3000 Micro GC method. See section 7.15.1 on
page 7-52.
