4. Transport, packaging and storage
4.1 Transport
Check the instrument for any damage that may have been caused by transport.
Obvious damage must be reported immediately.
CAUTION!
Damage through improper transport
With improper transport, a high level of damage to property can occur.
▶
When unloading packed goods upon delivery as well as during internal
transport, proceed carefully and observe the symbols on the packaging.
▶
With internal transport, observe the instructions in chapter 4.2 "Packaging
and storage".
If the instrument is transported from a cold into a warm environment, the formation of
condensation may result in instrument malfunction. Before putting it back into operation,
wait for the instrument temperature and the room temperature to equalise.
4.2 Packaging and storage
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).
Permissible conditions at the place of storage:
Storage temperature: -20 ... +60 °C
■
Humidity: 35 ... 85 % relative humidity (non-condensing)
■
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 a plastic film.
2. Place the instrument, along with shock-absorbent material and the stem protector (if
accompanying), in the packaging.
3. If stored for a prolonged period of time (more than 30 days), place a bag containing a
desiccant inside the packaging.
