Hi mathias-fx,
Welcome to the AML Forums! In the large majority of cases, the NGC3 can be used as a direct plug-compatible replacement to the PGC2. Setup is a simple and intuitive procedure with settings for gauges, interlocks, relay assignments and trip levels all available from the front-panel. The NGC3 retains the popular 1U case format, dot-matrix LED display and all the gauge connectors are the same types as used on the PGC models.
If replacing a PGC instrument with an NGC3 the following should be noted:-

If replacing a PGC instrument with an NGC3 the following should be noted:-
- NGC3 has no power supply for capacitance manometers.
- The auxiliary connector is a plug-in terminal block.
- Remote logging and control via RS232 has a new protocol
- The recorder output is scaled at 1volt/decade of collector current.
- Longer, brighter LED display with more resolution and information.
- Improved leakage, temperature-compensation and conformance of the electrometer.
- Improved emission stability.
- Discouragement of inappropriate emission current or degas and interruption of bakeout.
- Reduced grid power in emission, leading to reduced outgassing.
- Improved cooling and efficiency in the power supplies.
- Dual, mag-lev fans with speed monitors, which are used alternately.
- Essential interface data is printed on the rear panel.
- Countdown/cancellation facility for imminent TSP firing.
- Piranis are switchable from the front panel.
