Table 2. Line Voltage Requirements
The fast-heating oven requires at least 200 V. Most countries’ standard voltage
meets this requirement. GCs for use in the USA, Denmark, and Switzerland will
be equipped with a slow-heating oven unless they are ordered with power option
002, which specifies a fast-heating oven.
Although your GC should arrive ready for operation in your country, compare
its voltage requirements with those listed in Table 3. If the voltage option you
ordered is not suitable for your installation, contact Agilent Technologies.
