We report on our NLTE model atmosphere analyses of PG 1159 stars. The results enable us to confine the location of the GW Vir instability region in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram. The analysis of a spectrum of the non-pulsator PG 1520+525 taken with the EUVE satellite in comparison with HST data of the pulsating protoype PG 1159-035 (=GW Vir) locates the blue edge of the instability strip near Teff=140000 K for stars in the respective luminosity range.
