new GC Module is installed. The following procedure outlines how to remove the

similar for any channel.

CAUTION

During the module removal process, 3000 Micro GC
internal components will be exposed. To avoid damaging
3000 Micro GC, turn the power switch off and disconnect
all external power.

components. Wear a grounded wrist strap to avoid
damaging 3000 Micro GC. A disposable, grounded wrist
strap is provided with each new module.
