Transportation

The gas chromatograph is supplied in various designs, and can also include a metal bracket
as a protective unit for the connection pipes (see ⑦, Fig. 3.1). If the chromatograph is
supplied with this metal bracket, it must only be transported or shipped together with it.
Furthermore, we also recommend operation of the chromatograph with the metal bracket
fitted.
If the chromatograph is transported or shipped without this metal bracket, the warranty is
nullified.
Exception: The metal bracket is not required if the chromatograph is mounted in a protective
casing approved by Siemens. In this case, transportation or shipping of the chromatograph is
only permissible in this protective casing.

CAUTION
Electrostatic sensitive devices
This device contains electrostatic sensitive devices. Electrostatic sensitive devices may
be destroyed by voltages that are undetectable to a human. Voltages of this kind occur
as soon as a component or an assembly is touched by a person who is not grounded
against static electricity. The damage to a module as a result of overvoltage cannot
usually be detected immediately. It may only become apparent after a long period of
operation.
Protective measures against discharge of static electricity:
 Before you work with modules, first discharge any static charges from your body, for
example by touching a grounded object.
 Devices and tools used must be free of static charge.
 Always pull the mains connector and disconnect the battery before installing or
removing modules.
 Hold modules only by their edges, and do not touch pins or printed conductors.
