5. Transport, packaging and storage

5.1 Transport
Check 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:
■
Instruments without built-in transmitter: -40 ... +80 °C
Instruments with built-in transmitter:
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
■
Potentially explosive environments, flammable atmospheres
■
Store the instrument in its original packaging in a location that fulfills 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 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.
WARNING!
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.

6. Commissioning, operation

WARNING!
When the thermometer is mounted, the temperature must not drop below the allowed
operating temperature (environment, medium) or exceed it, even when taking
convection and heat radiation into account!
WARNING!
Thermometers must be earthed if dangerous voltages could be expected at the
connection wires (caused, for example, by mechanical damage, electrostatic
discharge or induction)!
