CAUTIONS WHEN USING EXPLOSION-PROTECTED INSTRUMENTS
The GC8000 is designed to protect against explosion.
When the analyzer is used in a hazardous area, observe the following precautions.
Since the applicable standard differs depending on the specifications of the analyzer to be used,
check the specifications of your analyzer.
