Agilent 7820 GC Service

200/220/230/240V

Part number G4350-61050

Connector

Function

Supplies power to transformer primary

windings.

Oven fan motor

Oven control from logic board

MTC

P1 and P2

Supply line power to the AC board.

P3 and P4

Supply power to the oven heater.

P5, P6, and

These three connectors take jumpers to the

oven triac. Each jumper connects to the

nearest connector on the triac, which must

be properly oriented.

P8 and P9,

P10, P11,

or P12

These take terminals of the Jumper wire for

power configuration
