* Use air that has been compressed in an oil-less compressor and then dehumidified.
1.4.2 Supply Pressure
Carrier gas: 300 to 980 kPa (300 to 500 kPa for hydrogen)
Make-up gas: 300 to 980 kPa
Hydrogen: 300 to 500 kPa
Air: 300 to 500 kPa
Use the following formulas for approximate conversion between kPa and kgf/cm

.
1 kPa = 1.02 10

1 psi = 6.89 kPa
NOTE
For precautions on handling high-pressure gas cylinders and using hydrogen gas,
refer to the instruction manual for the GC-2014 main unit.
1.5 Work Related Precautions
CAUTION
Do not make direct contact with the injection unit or detector when they are hot.
Otherwise there is a risk of burns.
When the inside of the oven is hot, do not open the doors. Otherwise there will be a
blast of hot air.
