EQUIPMENT:
Equipment and systems covered by this Certificate are as follows:

Process Gas Chromatograph, Model GC8000-E is used for the analysis of flammable gases. The process gas chromatograph with a
containment system and a touch screen (touch panel) is protected by pressurized enclosure “p” with a continuous flow of the protective gas
(air). The Ex pxb safety device (protection system) is mounted in an enclosure in type of protection flameproof enclosures “d”.
The flameproof enclosure includes integral bushings (wire entries), blanking elements and adapters.
A flame proof pressure switch is mounted on the Ex p enclosure.

Process Gas Chromatograph, Model GC8000-M400 is used for the analysis of flammable gases.
The equipment has an electronic section and an isothermal oven 3. The electronic section is protected by pressurized enclosure “pyb” with
internal equipment providing EPL “Gc”. The isothermal oven 3 is protected by pressurized enclosure “pxb” with a containment system. A flame
proof pressure switch is mounted on the Ex p enclosure.

For more information see Annex 1.

SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF USE: YES as shown below:

• The analyzers shall be installed and used in such a way that the risk from electrostatic discharges is avoided.
• Modification of the flameproof joints is not allowed.
• All externally powered input signals into the pressurized enclosure shall be isolated by external relays controlled by the Ex px safety
device (protection system).
• For GC8000-M400, it shall only be used in an area of at least pollution degree 2, as defined in IEC 60664-1 (EN IEC 60664-1).
• For GC8000-M400, transient protection shall be provided that is set at a level not exceeding 119 V peak at the Input/Output terminals of
the equipment.
