7. Maintenance and cleaning
7.1 Maintenance
The instruments are maintenance-free. The indicator should be checked once or
twice every year. For this the instrument must be disconnected from the process
to check with a pressure testing device.
Repairs must only be carried out by the manufacturer or appropriately qualified
skilled personnel.
7.2 Cleaning
CAUTION!
Clean the pressure gauge with a moist cloth. Ensure that due to
the cleaning no electrostatic charge will be generated.
Wash or clean the dismounted instrument before returning it, in
order to protect persons and the environment from exposure to
residual media.
8. Dismounting and disposal
WARNING!
Residual media in dismounted pressure gauges can result in a risk to
persons, the environment and equipment.
Take sufficient precautionary measures.
8.1 Dismounting
Only disconnect the pressure gauge once the system has been depressurised!
8.2 Disposal
Incorrect disposal can put the environment at risk.
Dispose of instrument components and packaging materials in an environmen-
tally compatible way and in accordance with the country-specific waste disposal
regulations.
