Product Support: www.instron.com
You must use GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interruption) protection on all power
sources if your testing system includes water or any other fluid.
If your system includes any fluids (e.g. water-cooled grips, BioPuls baths, food testing
fixtures), you must use GFCI protection on all power sources to protect the operator from
fluids that might leak into the load frame electronics.
