4.1 Description
The model TF43 insertion thermometer consists of a measuring element with a firmly mounted
EN
connecting cable. The measuring element and junction to the connecting cable are completely
moulded with plastic. Thus an absolute leak tightness against humidity is ensured.
All electrical components are protected against splash water. The electrical connection is made
via connection terminals in the case.
4.2 Scope of delivery
Cross-check scope of delivery with delivery note.

5. Transport, packaging and storage

5.1 Transport
Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
5.2 Packaging
Do not remove packaging until just before mounting.
Keep the packaging as it will provide optimum protection during transport (e.g. change in
installation site, sending for repair).
5.3 Storage
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -40 ... +85 °C
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (no condensation)
■
Avoid exposure to the following factors:
Direct sunlight or proximity to hot objects
■
Mechanical vibration, mechanical shock (putting it down hard)
■
Soot, vapour, dust and corrosive gases
■
Hazardous environments, flammable atmospheres
■
Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the conditions listed above. If
the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instrument as described below:
1. Wrap the instrument in an antistatic plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with the shock-absorbent material, in the packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag containing a
