What to do if there is a Carrier Gas pressure error on my Yamatake HGC303 Laboratory Equipment?
- K
  Kathleen HaleAug 17, 2025
  If the carrier gas pressure PV is less than 50kPa or greater than 300kPa, first check the carrier gas supply pressure setting (400+/-50kPa). If the carrier gas PV is equal to the carrier gas supply pressure, this indicates a critical problem. Immediately turn off the power and stop the carrier gas supply. Contact a closer Yamatake office or distributor.
