4.1 Transport

Check the gas density sensor 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 inter-
nal transport, proceed carefully and observe the symbols on the
packaging.
▶
With internal transport, observe the instructions in chapter 4.2

"Packaging and storage".

4.2 Packaging and storage
WARNING!
Physical injuries and damage to property and the environment
caused by hazardous media
▶
Before storing the instrument (following operation), remove any residual
media. This is of particular importance if the medium is hazardous to
health, e.g. caustic, toxic, carcinogenic, radioactive, etc.
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: -40 ... +70 °C [-40 ... +158 °F]
■
Humidity: 95 % 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 gas density sensor in its original packaging in a location that fulfils the condi-
tions listed above. If the original packaging is not available, pack and store the instru-
ment 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 desiccant inside the packaging.
