CAUTION
WARNING
Explosion hazard
 If you commission a gas chromatograph in an environment with an explosive
atmosphere, you must observe the directives for explosion protection.
 Switch off the gas chromatograph when carrying out repairs or maintenance as soon
as atmospheric air penetrates into it, in other words:
– When the device is opened.
– When work is carried out on carrier gas lines and sample gas lines.
 Also disconnect other energy sources, e.g. Ethernet and Modbus, if these do not
have an appropriate explosion-proof design.
 You require a fire permission certificate if you transport a PC or laptop through a
hazardous zone and/or if you wish to open a chromatograph in zone 1.
 It is essential to observe the information in Section General regulations (Page 12).
